Designer-owned, deeply dialed-in, and renovated to live—not to list. This 1935 Piedmont Heights charmer sits on a spacious, professionally landscaped lot with a deep, fully fenced backyard, detached garage, and layers of both intention and function throughout. Inside, the front wing hosts a fireside living room that flows into a dining room wrapped in rich botanical wallpaper illuminated by a sculptural brass chandelier. Just beyond the dining room is the kitchen with access to the side deck maintains a clean sight line through the living spaces - true to the 1930s build but with a modern sense of connection. The bright and sunny office, adjacent to the living room leads to a vaulted screened porch with wooden Bermuda shutters for the perfect amount of privacy, a mounted TV, and direct access to one of the bedrooms. Bedrooms are positioned quietly at the rear, lending separation and privacy from living and dining quarters thanks to the center hallway. The primary suite features multiple closets and a projector-ready wall for elevated Netflix & chill. The reimagined primary bathroom brings in designer functionality with a spacious double vanity, frameless glass shower, a thoughtful shaving niche, and clever storage solutions inspired by lived experience. At the opposite end of the hall, a punchy, vintage green-tiled full bath is perfectly positioned for privacy and service to the generously sized secondary bedrooms —authentic, charming, and just the right amount of throwback. Storage is smart and abundant: a massive attic with permanent stairs, multiple closets throughout, and a walk-out basement currently outfitted with a home gym and third full bath. The basement has been fully encapsulated by Aquaguard with a sump pump and dehumidifier—one of many updates totaling over $100K in improvements by the current owners, which include a new roof, HVAC, windows, sewer line, new refrigerator, all new lighting including chandeliers scaled for the space, and the fully renovated primary bath. ADU plans are available for the detached garage, offering potential for a future guest suite, office, or income-producing space. The location hits every note—zoned for top-rated Morningside Elementary, backing the quiet upper school campus of Heritage Prep (a discreet and respectful neighbor), and walkable to three grocery stores, the BeltLine, Piedmont Park, the Botanical Garden, and neighborhood favorites like Little Rey, Daily Chew, Grana, Starbucks, Bantam + Biddy, and the only Brooklyn Bagel intown. Tree-lined sidewalk streets make walks a pleasure, and this home is surrounded by million-dollar properties—offering major upside should the lucky buyers choose to expand. Everywhere else? You can get there in under 15 minutes. It’s not just well done. It’s well lived—and ready for what’s next.
