Nestled in the highly sought-after Emory Grove community, this beautifully reimagined classic bungalow perfectly blends timeless Southern charm with sophisticated modern living. Ideally located just a short walk from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Emory Village, Emory University, The CDC, and the VA Hospital, this exceptional home also offers quick access to Decatur Square, Atlanta BeltLine, East Lake Golf Club, and Midtown Atlanta. Flooded with natural light, this thoughtfully reimagined home showcases original hardwood floors, stunning original "French Steel" windows, elegant architectural moldings, and designer marble finishes throughout. The inviting fireside living room flows seamlessly into a cozy den and out to the deck and expansive park-like fully fenced backyard, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or everyday living. A spacious formal dining room comfortably seats 12 guests, and the well appointed kitchen wows with striking black cabinetry, marble countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. Completing the main level are two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully appointed marble-clad bathroom with hand-glazed tile details. Upstairs, the entire second floor is dedicated to an oversized private primary suite retreat complete with lounge space, dual closets, and abundant natural light. Situated on an oversized lot with a flat, park-like backyard, this rare property also includes coveted private access to a charming community park shared by only a handful of neighbors, featuring a playground, picnic area, and soccer field - an incredible extension of the home's outdoor living space. This move-in-ready bungalow offers the perfect combination of historic character, modern luxury, walkability, and intown convenience in one of Atlanta's most desirable neighborhoods.
