Property Description

INCOME-PRODUCING, INTOWN, AND IMPOSSIBLY COMPELLING. In a city where walkability is prized and character is cherished, 574 East Ave NE offers something rare: a beautifully updated, fully self-sufficient, fully furnished attached apartment of approximately 900 square feet that brings both flexibility and financial advantage to an already extraordinary residence. Tucked off the gated private driveway, this private living space has served as a studio, an in-law or au pair suite, and a rental residence-most recently leased for $1,800 per month in 2024, effectively covering the property taxes. With use potential for two-family residential living or short-term rental, subject to buyer verification of zoning and local ordinances, it is more than an accessory space; it is a meaningful asset that elevates this home into a category of its own. Beyond that, the main residence is a masterclass in warmth, scale, and timeless design. Though just 25 years old, it was thoughtfully imagined to honor the architectural spirit of the century-old homes that give Historic Old Fourth Ward its soul. The result is a home with the grace of tradition and the ease of modern living-filled with natural light, framed by lofty 10-foot ceilings, rich crown molding and wainscoting, and grounded by refinished red and white oak floors that lend depth and character throughout. Step inside and the house unfolds with a sense of ceremony and comfort. Formal living and dining rooms invite holidays, celebrations, and the kind of long-table dinners that become part of a family's story. The kitchen is both polished and purposeful, outfitted with Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Cafe appliances, a cozy banquette, a screened porch just beyond, and new leathered quartzite countertops that continue into the butler's pantry-bringing beauty and utility into balance. The amenities here create more than luxury; they create a layered lifestyle: a wine cellar with EuroCave and French riddling racks, movie theater, game room, gym, secret panic room, four gas fireplaces, generous en-suite bedrooms, and a lofted office or flex retreat with its own half bath. Upgraded lighting and refined Moen and Kohler fixtures add a quiet but unmistakable sense of quality throughout. Outside, the property becomes something almost cinematic. The private fenced Zen garden welcomes you with a flagstone courtyard, mature landscaping, and the soothing sound of water slipping over a koi pond beneath Japanese maples. Above it all, the oversized southern-facing front porch offers a front-row seat to the rhythm of the street-an inviting perch for morning coffee, evening wine, and the easy conversations that make neighbors feel like old friends. At the rear, the mood shifts to celebration: a private backyard oasis with a swim spa hot tub, cool-touch TimberTech/Azek decking, covered kitchenette, and low-maintenance turf, all designed for gathering, unwinding, and stretching summer evenings as long as possible. Then there is the convenience that so few intown homes can claim: a three-car attached garage-nearly unheard of in city living-opening to the backyard and connecting to the gated drive. Add in the reassurance of two HVAC systems and two hot water tanks replaced in 2021, and this is a home where the major work has been done and enjoyment is ready to begin. And finally, the setting. This is not simply a home in Atlanta; it is a front-row position in one of the city's most dynamic and walkable neighborhoods. From her
