About this home

Step inside 179 Mellrich Avenue and discover a modern home that is far more substantial than its exterior first suggests. GENEROUS ROOM sizes, BEAUTIFUL hardwood floors, EXCEPTIONAL natural light and a thoughtful floor plan distinguish this residence from typical modern construction. Impeccably maintained and beautifully finished, the home offers multiple living spaces indoors and out, including an expansive covered rear porch that functions as an additional living room for much of the year. Designed with clean lines, beautiful hardwood floors and generous living spaces, this four-bedroom, four-bath residence offers a flexible floor plan, multiple gathering areas and exceptional privacy. Each bedroom is paired with its own dedicated full bath, creating a comfortable and private arrangement for residents and guests. The main level flows easily from the spacious dining area into the contemporary kitchen, where an oversized island with generous seating creates a natural centerpiece for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen also features abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator and a large walk-in pantry. The adjoining living room is filled with natural light and anchored by a sleek fireplace and integrated media wall. Just beyond, a large covered back porch extends the living space outdoors. With room for both seating and dining, this porch functions as a true third living area and, in Atlanta’s mild climate, can be enjoyed throughout much of the year. A main-level bedroom and dedicated full bath offer flexibility as a private guest suite, home office or additional living space. Upstairs, a large family room creates a second interior gathering space while thoughtfully separating the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms. The spacious primary retreat includes a beautifully appointed bath with a freestanding soaking tub, double vanity and glass-enclosed double shower. Each secondary bedroom also enjoys its own private full bath. One of the upstairs bedrooms opens directly to a covered front balcony, creating a private outdoor retreat overlooking the thoughtfully designed landscape. The home is surrounded by custom, carefully considered landscaping that complements its modern architecture while remaining natural and easy to maintain. Additional outdoor spaces include the covered front porch, private upper balcony, large covered back porch and a low-maintenance patio area with pebble hardscaping. A full wood privacy fence surrounds the property, and a gated driveway leads to the rear drive-under two-car garage. This arrangement provides secure parking, privacy and a welcome sense of separation from the street. The terrace level offers approximately 660 square feet of unfinished space that is already framed and stubbed for a bath. Its current preparation creates a straightforward opportunity to complete the space as a recreation room, gym, media room, office, guest suite or combination of uses. With its modern design, private en suite bedrooms, three distinct gathering spaces, extensive outdoor living and future expansion potential, 179 Mellrich Avenue offers an exceptionally thoughtful approach to intown living.
