Description

Set on an exceptionally deep lot just minutes from East Atlanta Village, this beautiful brick home offers a rare combination of flexibility, space, and long-term upside. With the back property line stretching more than 250 feet from the front, the yard alone sets this property apart, creating a sense of openness that's increasingly hard to find this close to the city. The home has been used as a rental duplex, with a full two-bedroom, one-bath residence on each level, and as a result features two kitchens and multiple access points that allow the layout to adapt easily to different living scenarios. Whether configured as a single-family home, a primary residence with rental income, or a full investment property, the structure and systems support all three options comfortably. Entering through the front door, the main level is anchored by an open-concept living space that blends living, dining, and kitchen areas seamlessly. Hardwood floors run throughout and are complemented by original wood trim and doors that add warmth and character. The living room features large windows that bring in abundant natural light and is centered by a fireplace that grounds the space. The kitchen features a recycled glass-in-cement countertop paired with wooden cabinetry and a peninsula layout that feels open and modern while still full of personality and charm. Two bedrooms on this level share a full bath. The upper level can be accessed from the interior through the kitchen or via a completely separate rear entrance. Upstairs is a full kitchen with washer and dryer hookups, generous living space, and two additional bedrooms, making it ideal as a private rental unit, guest space, or second living area. Below it all, the home sits over a full basement with a concrete floor and substantial storage space. The basement includes a toilet and a three-basin commercial kitchen sink, offering additional flexibility for utility use, hobbies, or future creative possibilities. It has also been recently upgraded with an advanced water mitigation system featuring two sump pumps, ensuring the space remains dry even during heavy storms. Major system upgrades include a fully replaced HVAC system with new ductwork and a dual-zone setup that allows independent temperature control for the upper and lower levels. The fenced backyard is expansive and thoughtfully improved, ideal for dogs and outdoor living alike. It features a stone patio, a separate two-car garage with extensive second-floor storage, a storage shed, and a large open lawn dotted with fruit-producing trees. The sheer depth of the lot creates a sense of privacy and possibility that feels uncommon for the area. Located less than a 10-minute walk, roughly two and a half blocks, from the heart of East Atlanta Village, the home enjoys easy access to restaurants, shops, music venues, and the broader city beyond. It is also located within the Jackson Elementary school cluster, an important consideration for families planning ahead. This is a property that offers character, flexibility, and room to grow, whether for living, investing, or a thoughtful combination of both.
