Jefferson Park home ready for move-in July 1st! Please note that the home is currently occupied - do not disturb tenants. Two blocks from the MARTA bus stop and two streets behind the future Jefferson Ave PATH connector, our house is on a private corner lot with charming front yard picket fence and huge, fully fenced back yard with a variety of living/gardening spaces and parking. The front yard is fully xeriscaped with native flowers, shrubs, and rocks for year round, low-maintenance beauty. The backyard features fruit trees, square foot gardens, and space to spread out. Great for garden enthusiasts, cooking out, or just hanging out in your hammock. The house itself includes period features like plaster walls, original molding, fireplace, and telephone nook. Sunroom great for a small office. Newly painted interior. Stainless steel LG appliances. Master suite in attic - new hardwood floors and stairs - bathroom with walk-in shower - walk in closet - storage. Two bedrooms downstairs with shared full bath. Partial concrete basement laundry and storage space. This two-story, 1940 cottage has not only been updated with modern finishes, but also with significant measures to prevent water intrusion, roof damage, mold, and other worries. Exterior and interior french drains, basement water proofing and sump pump, and crawl space ventilation keep the house free of water and dry. Neighbors are a great mix of long-timers and newcomers. The neighborhood itself is great for walking, running, and biking, with tons of sidewalks and a beautiful variety of historic homes and yards to enjoy. An active neighborhood association (totally optional!) hosts progressive dinners, yard sales, and block parties. Close to some of our favorite downtown East Point, College Park, Hapeville, and West End restaurants and breweries. The Westside Beltline and the Lee + White eatery/brewery complex is a quick ride away through minimal traffic. Downtown Atlanta is a 10 minute drive on the highway or a 12 minute MARTA ride from the nearby East Point station (free parking). Two MARTA stops from the Airport, you'll get to - and home from - your trips in no time. House will be ready for showing On June 25th. House is not furnished. Tenant responsible for East Point Utilities (electric, water, sewer, trash) and gas. Owner responsible for lawn maintenance as needed.
