Quintessential Lavista Park bungalow with timeless character, soft modern updates, and major system improvements already completed. Situated on a deep, private 65 x 200 level lot, intermixed with custom new homes (where lots alone sell for the mid 500's), making this the perfect investment. Offering three bedrooms, two baths, hardwood floors, and a versatile upstairs loft, ideal for a home office or creative retreat. Step through the front door to a reading nook overlooking the living room, flanked by a cozy wood-burning fireplace with stone hearth and built-in bookcases. The kitchen has been softly updated with white cabinetry, glass tile backsplash, granite countertops, and ample room to gather. Just off the kitchen, a light-filled flex space with vaulted exposed wood ceilings and Saltillo tile floors. Perfect as a dining room, den, or studio. Sliding doors lead to a covered rear deck overlooking the expansive, flat private backyard, complete with a fire pit for evening gatherings and a storage shed tucked along the side. The primary bedroom offers hardwood floors and is connected to a full bath, with a pocket door that can be closed off to expand the vanity space. Down the hall are two generously sized secondary bedrooms, one featuring a spacious walk-in closet. Both share a hall bath with vintage charm. All major improvements are completed, offering buyers peace of mind and long-term value, including a new roof (2024), a new HVAC system (2024), and replaced attic insulation with improved energy efficiency (2025), newer windows, and a washer/dryer included. This Lavista Park community features 3.4 acres of walking trails, a playground, and picnic areas just around the corner. Ideally located with close proximity to CHOA, CDC, VA, Emory, and the Morningside Nature Preserve, with easy access to I-85, GA-400, Buckhead, and Midtown.
