Property Description

You won't believe how incredible 126 years can look! Built in 1900, this classic East Atlanta Village home lives far larger than your typical bungalow, offering the space, flexibility, and fun your family is craving. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, there's room for everyone-and then some. Beyond the traditional layout, this home shines with bonus spaces designed for real life and real enjoyment: a screened porch for relaxing evenings, a dedicated office or hobby room, a playroom, and even an upstairs deck for unwinding above it all. Do not miss the Harry Potter cubby, either. Step outside and the fun continues with a private putting green, no lawn to mow, a firepit on a stone patio, grilling area, a charming treehouse, and an additional 1.4-acre lot beyond the fence for a total of 1.65 acres of Intown property-perfect for exploring, expanding, or future possibilities. And when you're ready to venture out, you're just a short stroll to the East Atlanta Library and all the dining, shopping, and entertainment of East Atlanta Village. Located in the sought-after Burgess-Peterson Elementary district and on one of the neighborhood's most festive streets, this home offers a lifestyle full of connection, celebration, and room to grow. If you've outgrown "making it work," this is your chance to truly love where you live. Come experience the space, the charm, and the fun for yourself.
