Gorgeous Brick Traditional Just Moments From Morningside Village (Previously Listed) -

Tucked in the shadows of Atlanta’s spectacular skyline is the vibrant community of Morningside. Featuring tree-lined streets, eclectic homes, unique restaurants, an award-winning elementary school and direct access to Piedmont Park and the Atlanta BeltLine, it is easy to see why Morningside is such a popular place to call home. Filled with Tudor revival and classic-style homes on larger lots, Morningside offers a suburban feel with easy access to downtown and all that living in a major metropolitan city has to offer.

1520 Markan Drive provides an opportunity to live in the Edmund Park area of Morningside, just minutes from Morningside Village and nearby Emory Village. With over 4,550+/- square feet of traditional charm and contemporary elegance, this property backs up to the quiet and pristine Daniel Johnson Nature Preserve, offering privacy and views of the park’s majestic oaks. The home’s quality Hedgewood construction is evident from the moment you pull into the driveway. From the two-car garage to the covered front porch, this four-story, four-sides brick home’s exterior is timeless and inviting. Enter through the front door and into the foyer and take in the spacious, open-concept main floor. Featuring hardwood flooring and high ceilings throughout, there is great continuity and flow between the spaces, making entertaining a breeze.

The banquet-sized dining room seats 8+ and is the perfect spot for formal meals or large gatherings, ready to be the showpiece of your next dinner party. Preparing meals in the gracious eat-in kitchen is a chef’s delight. The kitchen features loads of storage and prep space, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and backsplash, a pantry and a breakfast bar with seating. The light and bright breakfast area has plenty of windows and is the ideal place for morning coffee and casual dining. The family room sits adjacent to the kitchen. Built-in bookcases flank the cozy fireplace and add warmth and character to this comfortable space. Extend your living area by opening the double French doors to the large, private deck. Dine alfresco or relax and unwind, taking in the property’s gorgeous natural setting.

Head upstairs to find a generous owner’s suite with a cozy fireplace, built-ins and a bay window that floods the room with natural light. Pamper yourself in the spa-inspired bathroom, featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate water closet and a custom-organized walk-in closet with space for all your wardrobe needs. Two secondary bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, as well as a laundry room, complete this level.

Take the stairs up to the fourth floor for an amazing flex space. Built-in bookshelves and a full bathroom provide a variety of options for customizing this level to meet your unique needs. Consider a family room, an additional bedroom, a yoga studio, a home office or a playroom. The possibilities are endless.

If you need more room to spread out, make your way down to the daylight terrace level for more living and entertaining space. A large family room will become a favorite spot for movie or game night. There is also a light-filled office on this level, providing a quiet place to work or a terrific home gym. A bedroom and full bathroom make a wonderful guest suite.

Outside is a patio under the deck that overlooks the flat, sunny backyard – great for a garden or play area. There is also a private neighborhood entrance to the nature preserve.
