1755 Langston Avenue SW

It's the small details that define this impeccably maintained 3-bed/2-bath brick bungalow, hitting the market this week. Sylvan Hills, after all, is the definition of the revitalized just-southwest-of-Downtown. And in the case of 1755 Langston Avenue, this comes across in the type of curb appeal a location scout would take particular note of: a gabled brick bungalow with a scissor-trimmed front lawn, anchored by that blue door, under that vaulted entry nook. Inside, the fixtures you might expect of a home that's been lovingly kempt since it was built in 1928: hardwood floors that they simply don't make anymore; a brick-hewn fireplace that greets you off the bat; a fully-screened sun porch that lets the air blow through; California-inspired arches; a totally separate garage; thick molding on oversized windows; the only-mildly eccentric, but always lavish master suite upstairs, with its vaulted ceilings and a sense of customized trim that pays homage to history. Just over 1,700 square feet, with plenty of outdoor space that only a corner lot can spare. Fireplace is decorative only. Located very close to surface streets, with easy access to I-75/85, and even closer to Atlanta Metropolitan State College and Atlanta Technical College. Perkerson Park is just a short stroll away. And good heavens, it is *green* in this part of town.
