Truly an estate within Avondale Estates! With a pool, carriage house, almost an acre of sculptured grounds, this mid-century home has it all! Four bedrooms, four baths and an updated feel that is perfect for the professional, the family, or the couple who just want to relax and enjoy the serenity of ever-so-quiet Sussex Road. When you walk in, you can feel the airiness of the vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, living room, and dining room. The light streams in from the east as you look out over the deep pool, it's calming. The multiple bathrooms have light and are expansive, especially the owner's suite with it's huge tub, perfect for two people to luxuriate. The grounds go far back into the woods and the privacy is unparalleled. There is even a custom-built treehouse that is fun for kids and guests alike. The carriage house has two big bays and a gorgeous apartment above. Perfect for in-laws, guests, a nannie or a rental. Much updated by the current owners, it is freshly painted, landscaped, and the pool has been professionally maintained. With a new dishwasher, and everything up to date, it is a great home for anyone who wants to be in Atlanta and enjoy the fun of Avondale Estates, but feel like they are a million miles away.

Historic section of Avondale Estates - 2017 renovation on a quiet street - two blocks from the park & pool. This unique home features hand-thrown European style hard-coat stucco outside. Breath-taking, timbered entrance - allowing all of the morning light to stream in. This beautiful family room features a free standing stone fireplace with gas logs and open, spacious dining room. Enjoy the sky-lights in the dining room with a beautiful pool view! The over-sized vaulted kitchen offers: double ovens, gas stove, beautiful cabinetry and the granite counter tops with large granite eat-in island. The clean look of the custom white cabinets compliments the kitchen and the walk-in pantry allows even more storage. The kitchen also has a roomy corner table and bench seating under custom built-in shelves. The home continues to wow you with a laundry room that functions as a mud room off the deck to the pool for easy access and storage for pool towels too. The front bedroom is full of light and large enough for twin beds or bunk beds. The supporting full bath across the hall has the perfect step-less shower. Enjoy a second bedroom with walk out back yard access and private bath and separate vanity area. The master suite is a true double suite. We have drawings if you want to divide the room and make two bedrooms as well. The giant jacuzzi was added when the exterior changes were made and can be enjoyed where it is or removed easily. The master closet offers amazing customized cedar storage. The back patio welcomes a spring or summer party for all! Entertain here soon! The large tile patio is surrounded by wrought-iron gate and landscaped with mature beautiful trees and shrubs. The heated, gunite pool and hot tub was redone in 2022 The lot is 3/4 of an acre and the back if fenced. The garage apartment was renovated in 2016 and tucked away over the double garage with third bay storage or workshop. The apartment is the perfect guest house with living space, full bath with bedroom overlooking the drive. Walking tour of the back yard take you by an adorable tree house for those tree house lovers. And, raised beds can afford gardening if you are ready to start those tomatoes this summer. This beautiful home and property are set on one of Avondale's quietest streets and only 1.5 short blocks to Avondale Park (access to the Museum School) and next to Avondale Swim & Tennis Club. The best feature is proximity to the amenities. The park and pool are 1.5 blocks with sidewalks all the way and no streets to cross. Clients have loved the home but unfortunately are relocating out of state for work.
