Single Family Home for sale in Atlanta, GA

for $499,000 with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This home was built in 1940 on a lot size of 0.25.

Some homes are about square footage. Others are about possibility. 981 Cherokee Ave is firmly the latter. Located on one of Grant Park's most loved streets, this charming cottage offers buyers something increasingly rare in intown Atlanta: a chance to own in an A+ neighborhood at an approachable entry point - with room to add value over time. The home is filled with natural light and has a layout that lives comfortably day to day, with connected common spaces that make it easy to imagine hosting friends, working from home, or settling into a slower neighborhood rhythm. The bedrooms are more modest in size, but the tradeoff is intentional - a footprint that's efficient, manageable, and ideal for buyers who value location, charm, and smart investment over excess space. Step outside and you're minutes from Grant Park, the BeltLine, restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood staples - the kind of walkable lifestyle that consistently supports long-term demand and resale value. From an analytical standpoint, the opportunity here is clear. Homes on Cherokee Avenue and in the surrounding Grant Park corridor continue to perform well due to limited inventory, strong owner-occupant demand, and consistent renovation activity. For investors or renovation-minded buyers, this property offers a compelling value-add play in a proven location. To make that opportunity even more accessible, a renovation loan option is available through Highland Mortgage, allowing buyers to finance improvements alongside their purchase. This creates a realistic path for first-time buyers who may assume they can't afford both a home they love and the updates they want - and for investors looking to execute upgrades efficiently without tying up all-cash capital. Whether you're a buyer searching for a charming cottage to make your own, an investor focused on long-term fundamentals, or a first-time homeowner ready to enter the Grant Park market with a smart plan, 981 Cherokee Ave offers both emotional appeal and financial logic. This is a home you can grow into - and an opportunity that makes sense on paper.
