It’s not often you find a tastefully enhanced, old-growth street that feels miles away from — say — the Edgewood Retail District, an east-west MARTA stop, and the eccentric bustle of Little Five Points… But, here you are, within actual walking distance. Major surface streets and Interstate arteries are just as close by car.

In a place like this, you’ll find 163 Flora Avenue: an olive-hued Edgewood homestead with curb appeal and tranquility to spare. The sweeping front porch is just the start; inside a lovingly maintained pair of homes, grants spit-polished adaptability.

First, the upstairs: a wide-open, 2/2 modified shotgun where original hardwood is accented with California arches, loads of tree-shaded natural light, a warm palette, and more than enough touches to keep things interesting (the partitioned ensuite bath, for instance — a lot of thought went into that tilework). A two-chef kitchen, a positively large living area, and a big backyard strike the balance between spacious privacy and intimate evenings with friends.

Downstairs (accessed through the exterior): a bonafide one-bed/one-bath apartment with a kitchenette and private entrance. Or… Whatever you’d like it to be. Megahome office/studio for a hobbyist to reveal their work? A place for a fresh-out-of-college kid to live while she starts her career and chips in for the rent? Family from out of town? Roommate? It’s up to you.

Point is, 163 Flora Avenue is flexible: it’s large but cozy; private, and in a stellar location; it maintains early-century charm while serving modern purposes. All it needs is a new tenant to make it their own.

Available August 15th for well-qualified residents. Please Note: the back deck is being rebuilt (and expanded significantly!), and may not be completely finished by 8/15/22 when the home is available.
