You know, your next home doesn’t have to be boring. I know you’ve been looking all over Atlanta’s east side (and probably beyond) to find the one that doesn’t just check boxes, but makes your heart skip a beat. The kind of home where you can’t wait to invite friends over because you want to show off all the interesting mid-century modern architectural features, and the way the light from the two huge windows in the living room make you feel like you’re on the set of Mad Men. No offense to all the other homes you’ve walked into, but they just can’t offer you what this one can. A vibe. Something to be proud of. Your own unique slice of Atlanta. 494 Rosemont Drive has everything you need: two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, finished walk-out basement with extra living room and optional third bedroom for guests; but it also has everything you want: hardwood floors throughout, custom built-in shelving in the primary walk-in closet, long transom window high above the double vanity in the primary bathroom, and handcrafted touches like walnut floating cabinets and shelves in the kitchen and cedar handrails made by a local woodworker. Outside is just as inviting as inside with a fully fenced backyard, generous patio with wood-screen privacy feature, and a front porch perfect for morning coffee and neighborly hellos. Lots of storage in the unfinished portion of the basement and backyard shed. Located across the street from the prestigious East Lake Golf Club, and just minutes to some of the city’s best dining in downtown Decatur, Oakhurst, Kirkwood, and East Atlanta Village. Walk to Buena Vista Lake with a walking trail, dock, & fishing. Zoned for City of Atlanta schools, including Drew Charter School (by lottery). You’ve found it, your own distinctive slice of Atlanta. Schedule a private tour and see for yourself.
