Tucked along one of Morningside’s most desirable streets, this purposefully designed residence brings together privacy, walkability, and architectural presence in one of Atlanta’s most beloved intown neighborhoods. Fully fenced and secured by an electric gate, the property includes a main residence and a detached guesthouse, offering flexibility rarely found this close to the city’s everyday rhythm.
The approach feels intentional from the start. A covered front porch framed by layered landscaping leads to an entry marked by glowing gas lanterns and clear attention to detail. Inside, a formal living room offers a polished yet comfortable setting for gathering, flowing easily into a banquet-sized dining room designed to host without effort.
The kitchen is a true focal point, balancing visual impact with function. A 48-inch Thermador gas range with griddle and double oven anchors the space, joined by a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, built-in microwave drawer, custom cabinetry, and an oversized waterfall island. A walk-in pantry concealed behind pocket doors keeps the room clean and composed while remaining highly practical. Just beyond, the family room is filled with natural light and anchored by a custom beverage station with shelving and wine refrigerator, creating a natural hub for daily life and entertaining.
Throughout the main level, finishes feel layered rather than styled, rich wallpaper, tailored drapery, and sliding doors that open to a private patio suited for outdoor dining. The backyard invites long evenings around the firepit, all while remaining fully enclosed for pets and guests. A well-planned mudroom connects the home to a two-car garage finished with epoxy floors, custom built-ins, and an EV charger. The main level also includes a showpiece powder room and a guest bedroom with its own bath.
Upstairs, the primary suite reads as a true retreat, with dual vanities framed by custom cabinetry, designer wallpaper, a multi-head shower, freestanding soaking tub, Toto bidet, and carefully selected mirrors and lighting. Three additional bedrooms on this level each feature custom en-suite baths, along with a laundry room discreetly tucked behind a pocket door.
The lower level expands the home’s flexibility with a large bonus room and wet bar, well suited for media, work, or play, plus an additional bedroom, full bath, and generous storage. Behind the scenes, practical upgrades include a backup generator, whole-house water filtration, reverse osmosis drinking system, drip irrigation, and hardwired surveillance readiness. All custom window treatments will convey with the home.
Above the garage, a private guesthouse continues the same level of finish found in the main home, offering a bedroom with sitting area, breakfast bar with custom shelving, full bath, and closet, ideal for extended stays, creative work, or a dedicated home office.
Thoughtfully executed from top to bottom, this residence offers a layered, livable approach to modern design, rooted in craftsmanship, comfort, and a location that continues to define intown living in Atlanta.
