Tucked beneath a canopy of trees in Medlock Park, this city cottage is the perfect blend of warmth, character, and modern updates. With its spacious lot, inviting interiors, and flexible spaces, this is more than a home—it’s a place to create, gather, and grow. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, and an abundance of natural light. The cozy living room flows into an open dining and sitting area, leading to a sprawling deck—ideal for slow mornings or sunset dinners. The kitchen is bright and welcoming, with stylish updates and plenty of space to gather, prep, and create. With two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, this home offers easy, accessible living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a spa-like bath featuring three shower heads, a laundry area, and a sunny loft-style space perfect for a playroom, home office, or reading nook. The flat, newly seeded yard is ready for summer days spent outside, whether you’re entertaining or unwinding. And with the converted garage, you have even more space to make your own. Wired for electricity and easily heated and cooled, it’s a blank slate for whatever you need—an art studio, home office, gym, or creative retreat. With Medlock Park and the Clyde Shephard Nature Preserve just around the corner, you’re never far from everything that makes this neighborhood special—baseball and softball fields, a multi-use field, tennis courts, and scenic walking trails that weave through the community. Add in top-rated schools, a strong neighborhood spirit, and quick access to all that Atlanta has to offer, and you’ve got the perfect blend of city convenience and cottage charm—peaceful, welcoming, and effortlessly connected.
