Step into a truly special piece of Morningside history-this home was once owned by none other than Dr. Sally Ride, America's first woman in space. Beyond its remarkable legacy, the property is nestled in one of Atlanta's most sought- after neighborhoods, known for it's vibrant community, walkable streets, and beautiful tree canopy. But what truly sets this property apart is its incredible potential. Thanks to a rare easement from the power company, buyers have the unique opportunity to build a significantly larger home on the lot- unlocking a level of flexibility that's nearly impossible to find in this area. Whether you're drawn by the home's historic charm, it's unbeatable location, or the extraordinary development potential, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Morningside. Walking distance to Sidney Marcus Park (just 3 houses away) and Piedmont Park. A mile from Trader Joe's and Ansley Mall and less than 2 miles from Ponce City Market, Whole Foods, the Fox Theatre and the High Museum of Art and the Botanical Gardens.
