A built-in study nook provides the perfect spot for homework or a quiet workspace.

Unique custom touches like barn doors and a vintage door sourced from historical Fourth Ward in East Atlanta add character and charm. A full bathroom in the basement adds convenience, and there is still plenty of storage space available. Step outside to enjoy the huge, beautifully fenced backyard—ideal for pets, play, or entertaining. The combination of a screened-in porch with vaulted ceilings and an adjacent grilling deck creates the perfect outdoor living setup.
