There's something special about Morningside tree-lined streets, neighbors out for evening walks, front porch conversations, and the ease of walking to your favorite coffee shop, park, or local restaurant. This pre-war charmer captures all of it beautifully. Set behind a fenced front yard and anchored by a large, welcoming front porch, this home invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Inside, historic character shines with thoughtful details and warm gathering spaces. The separate living room offers a cozy place to unwind, while the formal dining room complete with built-in glass-front china cabinets is ready to host holidays, dinner parties, and everyday moments alike. The completely updated kitchen blends old-world charm with modern convenience. Featuring state-of-the-art appliances, a 6-burner Hallman stove, copper farmhouse sink, pot filler, abundant storage for appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry, it's a space designed for both serious cooking and casual family mornings. Just at the end of the kitchen, a mudroom with built-in cabinets and hooks keeps backpacks, leashes, and daily life beautifully organized. A flexible main-level room adapts to your needs whether it's a guest bedroom, home office, or playroom offering versatility that grows with you. Upstairs, the primary suite and three secondary bedrooms provide comfortable retreats. Two bedrooms feature charming fireplaces, adding a touch of historic warmth and personality rarely found today. Step outside and you'll find what truly sets this home apart a completely fenced, flat, turfed backyard with room to entertain, play, and gather with friends on game days or summer evenings. The detached two-car garage with a carriage house complete with a bedroom, full bathroom and kitchenette create endless possibilities for guests, a private office, or even rental income. All of this, just steps from neighborhood parks, beloved local restaurants, shops, and everything that makes Morningside one of Atlanta's most treasured communities. This isn't just a home, it's a place to put down roots and fully embrace the Morningside lifestyle.
