Property Description

MOTIVATED SELLERS - INSTANT EQUITY. This property is appraised at $268,000. Welcome to this inviting three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow in the heart of Atlanta's historic Adair Park. Built in 1920, this charming home blends timeless character with modern comfort. The open-concept design allows the living, dining, and kitchen areas to flow seamlessly together, creating a bright and spacious feel that's perfect for both entertaining and everyday life. Recent updates include a newer air conditioning system and water heater, giving you peace of mind on two of the most important systems in the home. The exterior siding could use just a little love and paint, but with just a touch of care this classic bungalow will truly shine. Outside, you'll find charming curb appeal and a location that puts you right in the heart of one of Atlanta's most vibrant neighborhoods. Enjoy the tree-lined streets from the oversized covered front porch, easy access to the BeltLine, MARTA, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, metatl (https://linktr.ee/metatl), local parks, and all the dining, shopping, and culture that make Adair Park such a desirable place to live. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Atlanta history while enjoying the convenience of modern updates.
