About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 129 2nd Avenue SE-where classic curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and lush outdoor living come together just steps from the buzzing Hosea + 2nd district. Nestled behind a charming black picket fence, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home exudes warmth from the moment you arrive, with its gabled entry, painted brick exterior, and cheerful lavender front door. Inside, the character continues with original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a sun-soaked living room anchored by a cozy tile fireplace. The dining room is a true gathering space with a fabulous modern globe chandelier and amazing natural light from an oversized window. The kitchen blends style and function with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar perfect for casual mornings or evening cocktails. Tucked away in the rear of the home, the serene primary suite is a true retreat featuring a tray ceiling and a spa-inspired bath with a frameless glass shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or creative space, and a second full bath adds convenience with timeless finishes. Step outside and discover an entertainer's paradise: a spacious deck shaded by a nearly new retractable awning, vibrant butterfly and hummingbird gardens, and a beautifully landscaped fire pit area perfect for late summer nights under the stars. The deep backyard is ideal for gardening, play, or simply enjoying the quiet green canopy that surrounds the property. The unfinished basement provides great storage. Situated in the sought-after East Lake/Kirkwood area, you're just a few doors down from neighborhood favorites like La Fonda, Poor Hendrix, and the beloved Gene's. And with eligibility for the acclaimed Drew Charter School, this home balances soul, style, and smart living in one of Atlanta's most walkable and welcoming communities.
