Nestled in the heart of historic Brookwood Hills, this beautifully maintained 1920’s home blends timeless character with everyday comfort. Sitting upon a hill, the brick exterior and welcoming covered entrance and architecturally pleasing front door provide endless curb appeal. The home offers 3 full bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, featuring warm hardwood floors and abundant natural light throughout. Upon entering the home, you are greeted with a beautiful foyer, spacious dining room, large living room and a light filled office space perfect for reading or a quiet at home working space. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room with a fireplace and views of the private, landscaped backyard. The second-floor hosts three large bedrooms and two full baths. The master suite has a large closet space and updated bathroom. The other two large bedrooms are connected by an updated bath. Rare in Brookwood Hills, this home provides a large two car garage with ample storage and wood working space. The second floor of the garage has potential to become a guest suite, office space, exercise room, or hangout space for teens. Step outside to a large, landscaped backyard perfect for outdoor gatherings, gardening or quiet relaxation. With the large yard and oversized garage, the expansion potential is excellent in sought after Brookwood Hills. A state-of-the-art Home Generator was installed in 2018 and fuels most of the home; it comes on automatically when power from Georgia Power is out. Located in one of Atlanta’s best neighborhoods, this home is just minutes from shopping, dining, the Beltline and so much more. The Brookwood Hills Pool and Tennis Club is rare to in-town Atlanta living and provides a wonderful community for people of all ages. 40 Northwood is a true opportunity to own a piece of neighborhood history with room to grow!
