MASSIVE PRICE CORRECTION!! Now listed under what seller paid for home! INSTANT EQUITY!!! Nothing cookie-cutter about this Mid-Century gem. Perched at the highest point in the neighborhood, this was the original home of the community’s developer and remains remarkably well preserved, beautifully maintained, and truly move-in ready. Located just off Shallowford Road and moments from I-85, the home sits within one of Atlanta’s classic Mid-Century neighborhoods, known for its winding residential streets, mature trees, and architectural integrity—largely untouched by rezoning and oversized new construction. Within the highly regarded Lakeside High School district, the home offers exceptional flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Single-level living makes it ideal for families, retirees, or multigenerational households alike. Below, a daylight basement accessed by a hidden spiral staircase provides expansive storage, workshop potential, or the perfect creative studio for podcasting, art, music, or content creation. Built for longevity, the home features four sides of original brick, providing natural insulation year-round. Tall shade trees keep the interiors cool through Atlanta summers, while an exposed brick fireplace—wood-burning with gas option—creates warmth and atmosphere in winter. Natural light fills every room throughout the day. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes two separate living areas, a dedicated dining room, original hardwood floors, and solid wood doors that reflect the craftsmanship of the era. A screened rear porch extends the living space outdoors for nearly year-round enjoyment, while the half-acre lot offers ample opportunity for expansion, gardens, or future customization. Originally showcased as the 1962 model home for the development of this Northeast Atlanta community, the property has changed hands only a few times over more than half a century. Enjoy morning coffee from the front porch overlooking established landscaping, including mature Japanese maples, dogwoods, fragrant gardenias, hydrangeas, and vibrant azaleas that create both beauty and privacy. Life here feels connected to a quieter era—wave to neighbors on their way to Mary Alice Park, hear children playing at recess nearby, or catch the distant sound of Sunday bagpipes from the neighborhood church. Residents also enjoy access to the active Briarmoor Manor Pool community, featuring a swim team, social events, and newly renovated facilities. - East facing - Single level living - Two en-suite bedrooms - Granite kitchen counters - Updated stainless steel appliances - Gas cooktop with vent hood - Original Hardwoods - Wood burning Fireplace with option for gas - Rear Screened Porch - Fresh interior paint - 2020 Architectural Shingle Roof and seamless gutters with guards - 2019 HVAC - Thermal pane windows - Fenced chain-link backyard - Mature native landscape - School bus stop in line of sight Act fast, this a rare opportunity!
