6492 Meadow Lark Dr, Riverdale, GA 30296

South of Atlanta, the easygoing Riverdale neighborhood serves many functions: there are just enough stop-by amenities so a quick trip to the grocery store is drama free; I-75 is close and accessible, so the same goes for your commute; and, if you know where to look, a lovingly restored, all-inclusive starter home can still be found for a steal by Atlanta standards. Case in point, 6492 Meadowlark Lane, a late-century split level that’s received enough recent TLC to make it perfectly comfortable in the 2020s. We can’t get away without mentioning a few more amenities. One of the benefits of living south of the city is that you get some extra land; this is a corner lot, so the privacy fenced backyard is huge and pooch-ready (cute little deck, too!). The two-car garage gives enough a spot for your ride, and an area to spread out for weekend crafts and DIYs. Plus, in addition to the brand new cosmetic upgrades in and out, the guts are in great shape, with the roof, HVAC, and other important bits having been replaced in recent years — all that’s left is to get the keys for a hassle-free move in
