About this home

Brand-new construction in the heart of Kirkwood, with the space and craftsmanship that are increasingly difficult to find at this price point. Set on an approximately quarter-acre lot with an impressive 207-foot depth, this home is the only new construction home on the street and offers a rare combination of new construction and meaningful outdoor space including the potential for a future pool, subject to site conditions and approvals. From the custom double front doors, high ceilings and welcoming front porch with two distinct seating areas, the home feels thoughtfully designed from the moment you arrive. Inside, elevated finishes include engineered hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, gas appliances, dual-pane windows, Nest thermostats and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring a custom backsplash extending to the ceiling. A large, hidden pantry, cleverly concealed behind the custom cabinetry, adds both function and an unexpected touch of luxury. The oversized primary suite is privately positioned at the rear of the home, creating a true retreat. Double doors open into the very spacious primary retreat, which is complemented by a massive walk-in closet and generously proportioned primary bath, creating an exceptional private and relaxing space. The primary bath features rain-head showers, while the second-floor laundry room is conveniently located just steps from the primary bedroom. Upstairs, a spacious den offers flexible room for a playroom, media space, or additional living area. Thoughtful design extends throughout the home, with abundant storage in multiple closets and dedicated spaces throughout. A mudroom just off the garage provides a convenient drop zone for everyday living, while substantial storage beneath the front patio offers an additional, easily accessible space for seasonal items, outdoor gear and more. The tankless hot water heater provides an endless supply of hot water, adding another layer of comfort and efficiency to the home. A main-level bedroom with a full bath provides an ideal guest suite or private home office. Outside, the exceptionally deep backyard offers room to create a private outdoor retreat, while the oversized garage provides uncommon storage and flexibility for an intown home. Located within Atlanta Public Schools' Jackson Cluster and moments from the restaurants, shops, parks, and neighborhood gathering places that make Kirkwood so desirable. For buyers seeking the finish level and ease of brand-new construction without giving up the character, land, and established setting of an intown neighborhood, this is a particularly rare opportunity.
