472 Bryan Street SE

Pride of ownership and a true sense of home define this beautifully restored Victorian jewel in the heart of Historic Grant Park. As you ascend the front steps, you’re transported to a more gracious era—one of parasols, carriage rides and timeless charm. The freshly painted, covered front porch—complete with haint blue ceiling and classic Victorian scrollwork—sets the stage and welcomes you through the double leaded-glass doors into a grand central hallway with new schoolhouse lights. Light, bright, and airy, the home is immediately impressive with 11-foot ceilings, large windows and stained glass that fill every space with warmth and natural light. The front living room and bedroom feature oversized, multi-paned windows that frame views of the outdoors, while custom plantation shutters provide privacy when desired. Oversized rooms, heart-pine hardwood floors, picture molding, 6-panel doors with crystal knobs and three decorative fireplaces with original quarter-sawn oak mantels are reflective of the home’s preserved architectural integrity throughout. The beautifully updated kitchen offers custom hardwood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, black appliances, a glass-front butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry and is open to the keeping/breakfast room with vaulted ceilings. The large dining room includes a decorative fireplace and china closet. Three newly renovated bathrooms feature timeless marble finishes and striking harlequin tile floors. Additional highlights include a new living room chandelier, plantation shutters throughout, built-in bookshelves, oversized laundry closet with storage (washer/dryer included), new HVAC and pull-down attic access to an expansive storage space that could possibly be expanded for additional living space. A newly constructed screened-in porch with vaulted ceiling, skylights, custom screen door and privacy screen invites slow mornings with a cup of tea or long evenings curled up with a good book. The level, fenced backyard is a rare in-town retreat—large, private, and remarkably tranquil with gated/secure parking off the rear alley for three or more cars and room for a garage or pool. Brick walkways, a custom side gate, storage shed and additional tiled storage beneath the porch add both charm and functionality. Ideally located between Downtown Atlanta and Decatur with easy interstate and airport access, Historic Grant Park offers an unmatched lifestyle. The neighborhood is home to Zoo Atlanta, Oakland Cemetery, Grant Park Pool, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School and the city’s third-largest park—along with a dog park, rec center, basketball courts, baseball field, soccer field, tennis/pickleball courts, playground, Beltline access, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, bars and retail. Residents also enjoy long standing community traditions such as the Grant Park Farmers Market, Tunes in the Tombs, the Candlelight Tour of Homes and the Summer Shade Festival. This is not just a home—it’s a piece of Atlanta history, lovingly restored and ready for its next chapter.
