1352 Donnelly Avenue SW

This thoughtfully designed 4BR, 3BA home with an additional dedicated office offers the kind of space and flexibility that buyers spend months trying to find. The kind of home that quietly ruins other houses for you. One visit and suddenly the bedrooms feel smaller somewhere else. The outdoor spaces feel like an afterthought. The home office is missing. The maintenance list gets longer. Then you come back to this home and realize why. The covered front porch greets you with its built in porch swing and inside, 10 foot ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors immediately set the tone. And clearly, whoever designed this home believed a wall without a window was a wall wasted because nearly every room is framed by generous windows. The layout gives every space its own identity while keeping the home connected in a way that simply works for everyday living. I like to call it business in the front, entertaining in the back. Step inside, and a formal sitting room welcomes guests while the dedicated office creates a true work from home space without sacrificing one of the home's four bedrooms. Continue toward the rear of the home and everything opens up into the spaces where life naturally happens. The dining room anchors the center of the home before leading into an expansive kitchen with an oversized island, an incredible amount of cabinetry, abundant prep space, and views into the family room so you're never separated from the conversation. Just beyond the family room is where this home really begins to separate itself. Open the doors to the screened porch and you'll quickly understand why it may become your favorite room in the house. It is a space that extends your living area well beyond the interior walls. Just beyond, the deck overlooks the fully fenced backyard. Behind the gate, there is even enough room for secure off street parking, an increasingly valuable feature for intown living. One of the smartest design decisions in the home is the main level guest suite. Complete with its own full bathroom, it provides privacy for overnight guests, multigenerational living, or, as the current owners have done, a playroom tucked away from the main entertaining spaces. Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, while the primary suite feels more like a private retreat than simply another bedroom. There is enough room for a sitting area and reading nook, without ever feeling crowded. The custom walk in closet offers storage that actually keeps up with real life, while the ensuite bathroom delivers the kind of space buyers hope to find but rarely do. A freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk in shower, dual vanity, and thoughtful finishes create a room that feels more spa than bathroom. Even better, the primary suite opens onto its own private covered balcony, giving you a peaceful place to start the morning or unwind before bed. Equally appealing is what you will not have to worry about. With the roof, HVAC systems, water heater, and the home's major components all approximately seven years old, this is the kind of purchase that allows you to spend weekends enjoying your home instead of working on it. And then there is the location. Just moments from the Atlanta BeltLine and Lee and White, you'll have easy access to breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, fitness studios, and one of Southwest Atlanta's fastest growing dining destinations. Even more importantly, this home sits at the epicenter of the area's continued transformation. The West End Mall redevelopment, Murphy Crossing, Atrium Health's acquisition of The MET, and the upcoming Oakland City Exchange are all reshaping the surrounding community while creating long term equity potential. Add convenient MARTA access and quick connections to Downtown, Midtown, and the airport, and this becomes more than just a beautiful home. It is an opportunity to put yourself in one of Atlanta's most exciting and fastest evolving neighborhoods.
