Two homes, one address, in the heart of Avondale Estates. This relatively new, custom-built 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home pairs high-end living with a fully independent income-producing apartment above the detached garage, perfect for renting, hosting family, or running as an Airbnb. Inside, an open-concept floor plan sets the tone: rich hardwood flooring, elegantly tiled bathrooms, and a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a generous walk-in pantry. The living room, anchored by a fireplace and lined with built-in cabinets and shelves, flows into the dining room and kitchen for effortless everyday living and entertaining. A large covered front porch invites morning coffee and evening gatherings, and a practical mud room with ample storage, plus extra under-stairs storage, connects to the garage. A bedroom and full bathroom on the main level offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat: a freestanding soaking tub, a large shower with rain, handheld, and standard heads, a custom built-in closet, and a second closet flexible enough to serve as a sitting room or nursery. Two additional bedrooms, two more full bathrooms, a built-in computer nook with desk and storage, and a laundry room with undermount sink and cabinetry complete the upper level. A covered breezeway, complete with a grand swing large enough for a queen-size mattress, connects the main house to the garage, an outdoor sanctuary perfect for morning coffee, reading, or simply slowing down. The independent apartment above features its own separate HVAC, water, sewer, and electrical connections, plus a full kitchen, living room, one bedroom, one full bathroom, and in-unit laundry. This home is engineered for efficiency: a whole-house recirculation system for instant hot water, dual 50-gallon Rheem Marathon lifetime water heaters, a multi-split 3-zone concealed-duct high-efficiency HVAC system, full irrigation, and smart features including Wi-Fi and fingerprint-enabled exterior locks, a video doorbell camera, and a Wi-Fi-connected garage door opener. The location is unbeatable: walk to the Kensington MARTA train and bus station and The Pool Turtle indoor fun area, with Kids R Kids daycare just half a mile away, and Walmart, Publix, Avondale pond, and neighborhood parks all within a mile. Also close to downtown Avondale Estates, the DeKalb Farmers Market, Emory, and the CDC, with easy highway access. This is not just a home, it is a lifestyle and an investment, all in one extraordinary Avondale Estates address.
