Your Guide to Moving, Living, and Thriving in Metro Atlanta

45 Bates Avenue; Atlanta, GA 30317

$849,000

A rare blend of historic character, timeless craftsmanship, and everyday luxury, this enchanting residence feels as though it has been collected and curated over generations. Original heart pine floors, soaring ceilings, solid wood panel doors, and four coal fireplaces create a warmth and authenticity that can only come from a home with a rich story to tell. Beautiful Arts & Crafts details are woven throughout, from restored fireplace surrounds and stained-glass pocket doors to custom woodwork and thoughtfully designed built-ins. Modern touches complement the home's historic soul, including Low-E windows, a dual-temperature wine refrigerator, 48" dual fuel range, tankless water heater and floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinetry featuring Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired stained-glass details. The spacious bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility with a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with classic basketweave marble tile and an original clawfoot tub. The primary suite serves as a true retreat with walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath featuring dual vanities and an oversized shower. Outside, the grounds are every bit as captivating as the home itself. Set on an oversized lot that extends approximately 61 feet beyond the rear fence line, the property offers an extraordinary amount of outdoor space. Spend long summer days entertaining on the stone patio with built-in bench seating, or add a pool and build your own urban oasis in this expansive yard. An electric gate, two-car carport, and storage shed add convenience to this one-of-a-kind property. A home of this caliber is more than a place to live—it's a place to gather, celebrate, and create the next chapter of its story. Life here extends well beyond the front door. Nestled in the heart of Kirkwood, this home places you steps from Evergreen Butcher + Baker and moments from some of the neighborhood’s most-loved restaurants, shops, and local gathering spots in both Kirkwood and the beloved “2nd & Hosea” district. Recently reimagined, Bessie Branham Park offers a vibrant community hub with a state-of-the-art playground, expansive green space, and plenty of room to connect, play, and unwind. Easy access to the highly acclaimed Drew Charter School, with a quick bike ride or short walk. It’s the kind of neighborhood where errands become strolls and neighbors become friends.
