2480 Flair Knoll Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30345

About this home

Welcome to 2480 Flair Knoll, a beautifully preserved Mid-Century home set at the highest point in the neighborhood. The story begins with Flair Forest, the landmark residential subdivision created by renowned developer H. Dean Spratlin. Built in 1962, this residence has changed hands only a handful of times over the years. Remarkably well preserved and thoughtfully maintained, it offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Atlanta history. Designed for easy single-level living, the main floor provides flexibility for families, retirees, and multigenerational households alike. The layout includes a spacious primary suite, two additional bedrooms that share a hall bath, and a fourth bedroom that can easily function as a home office or flex space with its own en-suite bath. A dedicated dining room and two distinct living spaces create a versatile floor plan, while original hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and other period details showcase the craftsmanship of the era. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas cooktop with vent hood. Fresh interior paint adds to the move-in-ready appeal. At the end of the hall, a discreet spiral staircase leads to a spacious daylight basement with endless possibilities for storage, a workshop, home office, or creative space. Four sides of original brick provide enduring character and natural insulation, while tall shade trees help keep the interiors comfortable during Atlanta’s warmer months. An exposed brick fireplace, currently wood-burning with the option for gas, serves as a cozy focal point in cooler weather. East-facing orientation and abundant windows bring natural light throughout the day. A screened rear porch extends the living space and creates a peaceful setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery. The half-acre lot is beautifully established with Japanese maples, dogwoods, gardenias, hydrangeas, azaleas, and other mature plantings that provide color, privacy, and a true sense of place. The fenced backyard leaves plenty of room for gardening, recreation, expansion, or future customization. Recent improvements include a 2020 architectural shingle roof with seamless gutters and guards, a 2019 HVAC system, and thermal-pane windows. Residents also enjoy access to the active Briarmoor Manor Pool community, complete with a swim team, social events, and newly renovated facilities. Tucked just off Shallowford Road with easy access to I-85, Flair Forest is defined by winding residential streets, towering trees, and an impressive collection of Mid-Century architecture. Largely untouched by rezoning and oversized new construction, the neighborhood has retained its original character and welcoming residential feel. The property is just moments from Hawthorne Elementary and located in the highly sought-after Lakeside High School district, with a school bus stop in direct line of sight. There is something wonderfully nostalgic about life on Flair Knoll: morning coffee from the front porch, neighbors waving as they head toward Mary Scott Nature Park, and even the distant sound of Sunday bagpipes from the neighborhood church. With its architectural integrity, rich history, beautiful setting, and thoughtful updates, 2480 Flair Knoll is truly special and offers a chance to become part of the story of Flair Forest.
