Perched gracefully above the street, this 1920 Craftsman captures the best of intown Atlanta living with its preserved architectural details, flexible footprint, and an enviable address in one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods. The deep, professionally landscaped lot with alley access offers future potential for a garage, carriage house, or ADU, all within steps of vibrant neighborhood amenities. Inside, original hardwood floors, deep moldings, and vintage doorknobs with working locks create a timeless feel. The spacious living and dining rooms lead to a thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen complete with stone countertops, Wolf double convection ovens with gas cooktop, Dacor warming drawer, beverage cooler, deep pastry prep counter, and abundant storage within custom, high-end, furniture-quality cabinetry. A 4-season screened porch (glass window sliders for the winter) with a tongue-and-groove pitched ceiling connects to one side of the stone patio and flows directly into one of the bedrooms, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor retreat. The other side of the patio extends from the breakfast room, offering a perfect spot for dining or entertaining. Both bathrooms are fully renovated, with one featuring luxurious marble finishes and the other offering a spacious shower with dual showerheads. Modern comforts include a tankless water heater and an immaculate, fully encapsulated crawlspace with storage. The large attic with soaring ceilings offers easy expansion potential, allowing you to grow without sacrificing yard space. The covered front porch invites quiet moments, while the elevated lot provides privacy and curb appeal. Historic Poncey-Highland is an extremely desirable neighborhood full of craftsman bungalows, quaint condos, and thriving local retail, restaurants, and grocery stores in every direction. Freedom Farmer’s Market is a beloved Saturday ritual, and Freedom Park offers a community garden, playground, and miles of walking and biking trails. Adjacent neighborhoods such as Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Little Five Points, Old Fourth Ward, and Candler Park are all within easy reach. Top-rated schools like Springdale Park Elementary, The Suzuki School, Druid Hills Child Development Center, and Atlanta Montessori International School in Druid Hills are nearby, completing the ideal intown lifestyle.

This beautiful home is bursting with charm, quality & craftsman details. Sitting above the street, it is larger than it appears due to the renovation & addition on the back. In the heart of Poncey-Highland, it is walking distance to the BeltLine, The Path, and Ponce City Market. The classic front porch is complete with a swing and overlooks a gorgeous professionally landscaped front yard. The living room is full of light and features a fireplace with gas logs and leads into the oversized dining room. A butler's hallway includes a full bathroom. A true chef's kitchen includes custom natural cherry wood cabinets, stone countertops & backsplash, a deep pastry prep counter, double convection ovens, gas cooktop, warming drawer, beverage cooler, appliance garage, breakfast bar + storage a-plenty! The breakfast room overlooks a portion of the stone patio and has a door for easy grilling & the perfect entertaining flow. A mudroom and laundry room are on the main. A screened porch with tongue & groove pitched ceiling leads to the other half of the stone patio as well as into the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms have been renovated. The attic (with possibility for expansion) + the cellar provides extra storage. The backyard is a gardener's delight. Years of nurturing and care - it is truly gorgeous and includes a great shed for all of your yard-care tools. It is one of the rare ones!
