1531 Council Bluff Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30345

About this home

Some homes simply have a way of making you feel like you’ve arrived. Welcome to 1531 Council Bluff, a sun-filled mid-century brick ranch tucked among the rolling hills and towering canopy of Sagamore Hills, where tree-lined streets feel like a retreat and I-85, I-285, Emory, Midtown, and Buckhead are all a quick drive away. Weekend plans are easy, too, with live music and dining in Oak Grove and the festivals and shops of Decatur just minutes down the road. Step inside and let the light lead you. Gleaming hardwoods stretch throughout, and large windows pull the outdoors in. Gather everyone around the formal dining room, which comfortably seats 10, then drift into the eat-in kitchen, where a breakfast bar, coffee bar, and extra cabinetry make mornings and holiday feasts equally easy. A classic brick fireplace anchors the living spaces, ready for cool evenings. Beyond the den, a bonus room wrapped in windows opens to the landscaped lawn and patio. Picture game nights here, or a quiet cup of coffee with the blooms coming to life. Better yet, step out on your back patio for a meal al fresco or grill night. Three full baths and flexible sleeping spaces make room for everyone, including a Jack-and-Jill two-bedroom suite and a spacious primary-style ensuite with a walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Two bathroom feature vintage green and blue tile plus the den's masonry brick wood burning fireplace is a charming nod to the home’s original character. The storage and workspace are what really set this home apart. There’s an attached two-car garage, plus a detached one-car garage with workshop space and dedicated rear storage for firewood and gardening gear. Downstairs, a 2,000-square-foot basement with interior and exterior entries is yours to shape. A room is already drywalled with a closet in place, ready to become a rec room, studio, or craft/workspace. The big-ticket items are done, so you can move in and start living. The home has a new roof (2026) on both the house and detached garage, a sewer line scoped and shown clear (2026), a water heater replaced in 2023, and recently serviced HVAC. Updates are yours to choose, whether you keep it as is or add your own modern touches. Outdoor adventures start close to home. The 9-acre Frazier-Rowe Park offers trails, a stream, a butterfly garden, and a playground. Neighborhood clubs add even more fun, with the saltwater pool and tennis courts at Sagamore Community Club, and tennis, pickleball, and swimming at Leafmore Creek Park Club. A solid home, a thriving community, and a fresh start. Make 1531 Council Bluff yours and celebrate your your next chapter of life over the holidays and the New Year in your new home.
