Edgewood: that ever-evolving borough that hits all the sweet spots of Intown living. Centrality to the Midtown core, but located square in the middle of quiet enclaves that have made east Atlanta famous: Candler Park and Little Five Points are a short stroll; necessities at the Edgewood Retail District are easily accessible, and DeKalb and Moreland offer easy-commutes to everywhere Intown; restaurants that have put this city's culinary scene on the map are moments away. An east-west MARTA stop, five minutes by foot.
Not that you'd know about any of this hyper-convenience when standing in front of 213 Wesley Ave. It's tranquil here, near this low-trafficked little bend in the lane, a few houses in sight, occupied by neighbors who know each other.
As for 213 itself? A masterpiece of mid-century bungalow charm, impeccably remodeled for a turnkey, no surprises move-in, just this year. Outside, the gabled exterior has received a considerable boost in curb appeal, where the freshly painted exterior partners with the geometry of the cedar-stained front porch. Inside, wholesome hardwoods play with broad arches, framing the centerpiece fireplace. The sunroom beyond, briefly considered before moving in, likely transformed into a well-lit north- and west-facing home office. The galley kitchen is replete with slate-hued cabinets, quartz countertops that spread the entire length, and gorgeous Matte White appliances with its anything-but-standard Brushed Bronze hardware.
213 Wesley is the kind of home that will adapt to its new owner's sensibilities. There are two bedrooms downstairs: One has a full ensuite with convenient access from the hall for guests; the other is lovely, though you can't help but think it's the kind of space where a creative spirit could dedicate themselves to spreading out and letting loose.
Then, there's upstairs. Two more bedrooms, sharing a full bath. There's some exciting flexibility here: an untraditional layout that establishes the second floor as less of a pair of bedrooms and more of an "Owners' Retreat." One part sleeping quarters, one part yoga studio/media center/lifestyle suite. The ideas will come.
Finally, the backyard privacy fenced and pet-friendly: large enough to have fun instilling some imagination, and with western exposure to Atlanta sunsets. Priced to bring immediate attention @ $549,900.
