Pretty, Polished, and Move-In Ready!
Thoughtfully reimagined with an eye for both style and function, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern comfort. With 2,352± square feet and a flexible floor plan that easily adapts to the way you live, every space feels both inviting and effortlessly livable.
The kitchen is truly the heart of the home—a light-filled gathering place featuring a dramatic oversized island, gorgeous stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, and exceptional workspace for everything from weeknight dinners to lively celebrations. Sunlight pours through the home's expansive front windows, framing leafy neighborhood views and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat with a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed bath. Each of the three newly renovated bathrooms has its own distinctive personality, including two with dual vanities and one accented with custom designer wallpaper for an unexpected touch of charm. Rich new wide-plank oak floors downstairs pair beautifully with the vintage vibe of the newly refinished hardwood floors upstairs.
The lower-level great room features lovely views of the garden, a kitchenette, and both interior and exterior entrances, providing flexibility for use as an ADU. Beyond its beautiful finishes, the home has been extensively upgraded with major system improvements—including new electrical, plumbing, heating, roof, insulation, and a substantially rebuilt foundation—offering the rare combination of style and long-term peace of mind.
Outside, a picturesque tree-lined street sets the scene, placing you just moments from top-rated Piedmont schools, neighborhood parks, and the vibrant cafés, restaurants, and boutiques along Grand and Piedmont Avenues. Here, classic architecture, thoughtful design, and an exceptional location come together to create a home that's as comfortable for everyday living as it is for entertaining—a place you'll look forward to coming home to every day.
