2573 E Tupelo Street SE

Tucked inside one of Atlanta's best-kept secrets, a tight-knit pocket of Dearborn Park affectionately known by neighbors as "Saint Patrick," this four sided brick bungalow pairs classic character and charm with modern updates, systems and functionality. Originally built in 1951, the home has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the years, resulting in an effective year of 2012, a reflection of its updated condition and livability compared to a typical home of its era. A 6 year old roof and gutters, 6 year old electrical panel, water heater that's just 2.5 years old, along with modernized HVAC and plumbing systems, create a home that preserves its warmth and character while offering the convenience and reduced maintenance that come with thoughtful modernization. Inside, hardwood floors pair with an open concept design to create a comfortable, connected living space. A dedicated dining area opens to the updated kitchen featuring warm wood cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, gas range, breakfast bar and sink perfectly positioned beneath a window overlooking the fenced backyard. Enjoy a spacious primary suite that feels like a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, 3 closets and an en-suite bath with a double vanity. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office or hobbies. One of the home's most unique and practical features is the unfinished walk-in basement, offering approximately 540 additional square feet of bonus space. With a separate exterior entrance and freezer, there's plenty of room for storage, a workshop, hobbies or the potential for future expansion. It's the kind of versatile extra space that's a rare find in a traditional bungalow. Outside, the fenced backyard is ready for pets, gardening, entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Just as appealing is the location. A convenient neighborhood cut-through provides easy access to Dearborn Park, where wooded trails, a creek, playground areas and connections to additional nearby green spaces make it easy to enjoy the outdoors close to home. Perfectly positioned between the City of Decatur, East Lake and Avondale Estates, you're only minutes from some of the East Side's favorite destinations. Grab coffee in Oakhurst Village, spend a Saturday on the Decatur Square, tee off at Charlie Yates Golf Course, explore nearby parks and trails, or hop on MARTA for an easy commute. Emory, the CDC, I-20, I-285 and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are also within easy reach. With its extensive remodeling history, updated major systems, valuable basement space and inviting neighborhood setting, this home delivers the character of an established Atlanta bungalow with a level of modernization, versatility and functionality that's anything but typical for its age.
