Mid-century cool meets thoughtful, behind-the-scenes upgrades on nearly three-quarters of an acre in Atlanta’s sought-after Highpoint area—this is the kind of home that’s getting harder to find in this price point. Set just minutes from Northside Hospital, CHOA, and Emory/St. Joseph’s Hospital, 550 Forest Hills Drive is a classic, thoughtfully evolved 1963 ranch. A true standout is the large living room with custom built-in bookcases. Here, a bank of oversized windows flood the space with natural light while framing peaceful backyard views. A warm, inviting screened-in porch off the kitchen is accessed by two glass French doors flanking the kitchen fireplace. From the porch, screened doors lead to an open deck and a landscaped pathway to the backyard living space—a perfect spot for entertaining guests. This well-designed home features a convenient three-bedroom, two-bath layout. The two secondary bedrooms open directly to the deck. The spacious primary suite includes a sitting area, a large walk-in closet, and a generous bath with a tub, separate shower, and its own tankless water heater. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the main level. Downstairs, a finished daylight basement features stained concrete floors, recessed lighting, windows, and exterior access—ideal for a media room, gym, or home office—plus a separate unfinished area offering abundant storage. Behind the scenes, no detail was overlooked: a three-year-old roof, newer HVAC, a pre-listing inspection already completed, an installed vapor barrier, updated GFCIs, and a two-car garage—move-in with confidence! Quietly tucked away yet close to Chastain Park, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Windsor Parkway, Wieuca Road, and GA 400, this Highpoint-area ranch delivers timeless style, abundant space, and unbeatable convenience.
