The sunny office or playroom, tucked just behind the formal living room, makes working or playing from home easy. Entertain with ease in the formal dining and open-concept kitchen and great room—complete with an renovated kitchen designed for modern living. A guest bedroom & new half bath round out the first floor. Head on upstairs to a spacious en suite primary bedroom with an attached laundry room, and a renovated primary bath.

Gather friends on the professionally installed patio and back deck, where cozy fall evenings and summer cookouts await. This home offers the rare mix of historic character, modern updates, and community spirit that makes Avondale Estates so beloved. “A touch of Mayberry nestled quietly inside of Metro Atlanta”
