Welcome to the Grant Park neighborhood and this beautifully updated cottage home, brimming with character and modern conveniences, nestled on a quiet street just blocks from the Beltline's SE Trail, Grant Park, Zoo Atlanta, and more. Featuring an inviting "schoolhouse" facade and a thoughtfully maintained interior and exterior, this home offers the perfect balance of charm and functionality. As you enter, you'll notice that all windows are equipped with charming plantation shutters, allowing for abundant natural light throughout the home. The bright living spaces include a quaint dining area that flows into the kitchen, which features a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet space. The kitchen leads to a pathway hall where the laundry is located, taking you out to the freshly stained back porch and deck, perfect for enjoying private views of your fenced-in yard. The outdoor living spaces are a true highlight—relax with coffee on the covered porch, host dinner parties on the spacious lower deck, or let pets and guests run free in the large, fully fenced backyard. There’s even room to dream about a home addition, a pool, a garden, or all three! Past the dining area, you step into the spacious owner’s suite, where the plantation shutters add an elegant touch. The custom-designed closet system maximizes space for your clothes and shoes. The private bath is a true retreat, featuring a skylight in the vaulted ceiling that fills the space with natural light. It includes a large walk-in "double shower head" shower, a new vanity with a marble countertop and extra shelves, a linen/towel closet and updated lighting and finishes. The fully renovated secondary bath showcases its original clawfoot tub with an added shower feature, blending historic elegance with modern comfort. The guest room also boasts an updated custom closet system for added convenience. Enjoy smart living with the Nest Thermostat for year-round energy efficiency. Recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring in the hall, kitchen, and dining spaces (June 2025), a freshly stained deck, and a newly installed stone walkway. Improvements to the attic and crawl space enhance insulation and air quality for lasting peace of mind. Additional features include a crushed stone driveway, a durable 30-year architectural roof with ~15 years of life remaining, and a location that puts you minutes from parks, dining, and trails — yet tucked away in a peaceful pocket of the city. Bigger than it looks and full of personality, this delightful cottage is a surprising find in the coveted neighborhood of Grant Park. Come see it today — and imagine your life here!
