Property details

About 490 Rock Springs Rd NE

Timeless Character Meets Modern Luxury in the Heart of Piedmont Heights Tucked away on a rare, level half-acre lot in the coveted Morningside school district, this architecturally unique residence offers a masterful blend of historic charm and contemporary refinement. Reimagined from the ground up, this exceptional home has been fully rebuilt—gutted, reframed, and finished with a designer’s eye for detail. A dramatic wall of windows welcomes you up the private drive, setting the tone for the light-filled interiors and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Multiple decks extend from the main living areas, kitchen, and terrace level, creating a true sanctuary for relaxed entertaining and tranquil living. At the heart of the home, the sleek modern kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances and overlooks the expansive backyard. There, a beautifully preserved stone structure—believed to date back to the 1800s—stands as a striking centerpiece, ideal for transformation into an artist’s studio, home office, or workshop. The main level features three generously sized bedrooms and three designer bathrooms. On the terrace level, a private guest suite or income-generating apartment awaits, complete with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, plenty of storage and full bath. Additional highlights include brand new roofing, windows, HVAC system, and freshly curated landscaping currently being completed. Rich in history yet fully tailored for modern life, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property in one of Atlanta’s most charming and central neighborhoods.
