About 971 Cherokee Ave SE

Are you searching for the perfect home in beautiful, historic Grant Park? Looking for urban living surrounded by flora (old oak trees!) and fauna (Zoo Atlanta!)? Find it all in this cute bungalow with modern conveniences situated on the neighborhood's best street. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on Cherokee Avenue retains its 1940s charm with original hardwoods, a wood-burning fireplace, and paneled upstairs ceilings. From the front porch, stop to watch the Atlanta Mounted Patrol horses saunter by before walking into a spacious den that's the heart of the home. Enjoy all new stainless-steel appliances, a sizable pantry, and leathered granite countertops in the contemporary kitchen. The dining room off the kitchen leads to a back deck overlooking a fenced-in yard with a tranquil view of the woods. The driveway, which has plenty of off-street parking, leads to a detached garage (equipped with power) and to the mud/laundry room with additional storage space. The main bedroom upstairs boasts dormers to catch the morning light, as well as a walk-in closet, and cubby attic space. A serene bathroom, including a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower with rain shower head, marble tile, and quartz-topped vanity complete the tucked-away feel of the primary suite. Downstairs are two more bedrooms separated by a full bath. Stay comfortable with a new HVAC system and roof (both replaced in 2022) and stay connected with a Ring system and Nest thermostat. This home's prime location is just a few blocks from all that this wonderful neighborhood has to offer: Grant Park, Zoo Atlanta, the Beltline, The Beacon, Grant Park Farmers Market, Oakland Cemetery and other restaurants and parks that are within walking distance. Within biking distance (made easy via the dedicated, protected bike lane on Cherokee) are grocery stores, eclectic neighborhoods, and the Memorial Drive corridor featuring more restaurants and nightlife. Come see the perfect slice of Atlanta living today!
