About this home

APPRAISED ABOVE ASKING- giving buyers added financing confidence. The recent appraisal is available upon request. For the buyer who has been searching for a true house-hack opportunity in intown Atlanta, this is a rare find. This fully renovated bungalow, 3bedroom, 2bath sits on approximately .33 acres in one of Kirkwood's most historic streets. The lot is zoned R-4A, and the seller has verified that zoning allows for an accessory dwelling unit. Imagine a backyard cottage that offsets your mortgage, welcomes extended family, or becomes a private studio. Few intown lots can accommodate a second dwelling. This one can, and the driveway provides access to the rear of the property. The main home is move-in ready, so you can settle in and plan the build at your own pace. The kitchen features ceiling-height white shaker cabinetry, gold hardware, and soft-close doors and drawers, and it opens gracefully to the family room and dining area. A separate laundry room offers additional cabinet storage. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a renovated bath with a walk-in shower and double vanity. French doors open to a spacious backyard that is level and fenced. No HOA. Kirkwood offers the lifestyle that draws residents and renters alike. Downtown Kirkwood’s cafés, bakery, restaurants, and studios are a 10-minute walk away. Bessie Branham Park is just down the street, with a renovated playground, tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths, and the beloved Spring Fling. Throughout the year, the community also gathers for the Wine Stroll, the Tour of Homes, and the Mardi Gras parade. Howard Street is one of Kirkwood’s oldest streets and is named in the National Register nomination for the Kirkwood Historic District. The neighborhood’s streetcar station once stood at the corner of Howard Street and DeKalb Avenue. ADU subject to City of Atlanta approval, setbacks, and permitting. Buyer to verify. Rental income not guaranteed. An exceptional opportunity to own a home with lasting potential in one of Atlanta’s most cherished neighborhoods.
