218 Martha Avenue NE

Some homes simply check the boxes. Others become the backdrop for the life you’ve always hoped to build. This isn’t just another newer construction, this is the kind of Kirkwood home that changes what intown living can feel like. Tucked away on a rare cul-de-sac street, 218 Martha Avenue is where your story unfolds, with slow mornings on the front porch, bike rides through the neighborhood, dinners with friends under the covered patio and movie nights upstairs. Built in 2022, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home pairs modern convenience with character and comfort just moments from Kirkwood, Oakhurst and Decatur. A welcoming front porch with tongue-and-groove ceilings, a custom porch swing and professional landscaping set the tone. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light and newly refinished hardwood floors create an inviting atmosphere, while wallpaper, accent walls and automated dining room shades add layers of personality that make the home feel both elevated and deeply livable. Made for the way people truly gather and live, the open-concept layout offers generous living spaces, including a fireside family room with exposed beams and custom built-ins anchoring the heart of the home. Anyone who loves to cook will appreciate the kitchen with quartz countertops, a custom vent hood, a 36-inch gas range and a large island with seating for four. A sunlit breakfast area currently serves as an everyday dining space, creating an effortless flow for busy mornings and formal evenings alike. Just beyond, a butler’s pantry with a beverage fridge, floating shelves and a large pantry connects to a separate dining room currently styled as an extra sitting room for hosting friends and family. A coveted main-level guest suite with a full bath currently functions as an office and can just as easily be the guest bedroom you need, while the attached two-car garage opens directly into the thoughtfully designed mudroom, leading to the kitchen for easy daily living. Upstairs, the oversized flex space easily transforms with every season of life, whether as a playroom, media room, office, gym or second living area. Retreat to a spacious primary suite highlighted by an accent wall, two generously sized closets and spa-inspired bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub and oversized shower. Outside, the fenced backyard and covered rear patio create a natural extension of the home, equally suited for birthday celebrations, game days or quiet nights under the stars. Positioned in a priority neighborhood for Drew Charter School and moments from Oakhurst Village, Oakhurst Park, Bessie Branham Park, Pullman Yards, the 2nd + Hosea district, Decatur Square and East Lake MARTA, this location places some of Atlanta’s favorite restaurants, parks, coffee shops and local destinations right at your fingertips. More than just a newer intown home on one of the best streets in Kirkwood, this is the kind of place that feels good the moment you walk through the door and even better once your life unfolds here.
