Introducing this beautifully updated Morningside charmer, perfectly sited on a generous lot with a flat, walk-out backyard and detached garage. A rare price point in Morningside/Midtown school district, this home is flooded with natural light. Blending classic character with thoughtful updates, this two-bedroom, two-bath ranch includes new paint, original hardwood floors, designer lighting, new zoysia sod in front and an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. A welcoming foyer opens to the spacious living room, which flows seamlessly into the dining room—an inviting layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The renovated kitchen connects effortlessly to a cozy den, where four glass-panel doors open to the expansive backyard, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor living experience. Step outside to enjoy summer barbecues, relaxing evenings, and gatherings in the fully fenced, private backyard oasis—an ideal space for entertaining, pets, play, or future expansion. Adjacent to the yard sits the detached garage, a rare and valuable feature at this price point. Down the hall, you’ll find an updated bathroom and two comfortable bedrooms. The ensuite primary bedroom features an updated bath and customized closets, while the spacious secondary bedroom offers a walk-in closet. Move-in ready with endless potential for expansion—build up, build back, or simply enjoy the home as it is. This property offers the flexibility to grow with your needs. Down the street is Herbert Taylor Johnson Park, with walking trails and a creek running through it. Conveniently located with easy access to Emory University, as well as the shops and restaurants of Morningside/Virginia Highlands, this home offers the perfect blend of charm, space, and location in one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods.
