Located in Boulevard Heights, just one block from the Atlanta Beltline Southside Trail and a short walk to Grant Park, this well-maintained home blends Intown convenience with modern updates and timeless charm. Step inside and enjoy a functional floor plan, newer mechanical systems (roof 2023, water heater 2022, HVAC 2013), and recent kitchen upgrades including a range and dishwasher from 2022. The 2-car garage with EV charging is a rare find in this walkable Intown location. Out back, a fully fenced private yard and shaded pergola with a ceiling fan create a perfect space for entertaining. It's a true extension of the living area, ideal for BBQs, weekend hangs, or quiet evenings under the lights. Enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine just down the street at Finca to Filter, and stroll to the Grant Park Farmers Market, The Beacon, or nearby Glenwood Park. With a major mixed-use development now under construction across the street, and a new Beltline connection with lighting and landscaping underway, the block is poised for even more growth, making this not just a great home, but a smart long-term investment. Live close to everything: the zoo, the Beltline, great dining, coffee, and greenspace, all in one of the most connected, up-and-coming neighborhoods in Atlanta. Don't miss this opportunity to own a move-in ready home in a thriving community.
