Property Description
This charming brick home offers warmth, character, and immediate livability, with beautiful natural light and a thoughtful flow that feels welcoming from the moment you step inside. The kitchen blends classic appeal with everyday functionality, featuring white granite countertops, a timeless backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a layout that works comfortably today while offering clear potential for future enhancement. The current primary bedroom does not include an en-suite bath—reflecting the era in which the home was built—but the addition does include a full bathroom, providing flexibility now and a natural foundation for a future expanded primary suite. This thoughtful layout allows buyers to live in the home as-is while envisioning upgrades that align with modern expectations. Outside, the lot and yard offer outstanding expansion or rebuild potential—a true differentiator in this area. Whether your vision includes adding a spacious primary suite, expanding living areas, or designing a custom luxury home, the setting supports it. Neighboring properties reaching $2.5 million underscore the strength of the investment and the value of securing this location today. The full basement is a canvas for your to bring your vision to life.
Major infrastructure updates add peace of mind: the DeKalb County water pipe connection has been addressed, the water heater is only a few years old, and a one-year worry-free home warranty is included to protect against unexpected surprises. Location alone makes this an exceptional opportunity. Just minutes from Buckhead and approximately three minutes to I-85, the home offers unmatched convenience to dining, shopping, business centers, and major corridors—while remaining tucked away in a peaceful residential setting. At $625,000, this property stands out as one of the best values in Brookhaven—whether you choose to enjoy its charm today, thoughtfully expand tomorrow, or invest in a future rebuild in one of Atlanta's most desirable neighborhoods. Buy for the location. Live for the charm. Build for the future. Opportunities with this combination of setting, upside, and value are increasingly rare.
