Property Description
Perched atop one of Sylvan Hills' most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this charming brick bungalow offers the perfect blend of timeless character and major system upgrades. While many homes in this price range require significant deferred maintenance, 1513 Melrose Drive has benefited from extensive investment over the past five years, providing buyers with peace of mind and long-term value. A welcoming screened front porch sets the tone, creating the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening while taking in the neighborhood atmosphere. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, spacious living and dining rooms, abundant natural light, and an updated kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The thoughtful floor plan flows seamlessly into a separate family room, offering flexible space for entertaining, working from home, or everyday living. Three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms-including a recently added second bath-provide comfort and functionality rarely found in homes of this vintage. Covered parking for two vehicles and ample storage further enhance daily convenience. Beyond the home's charm, the true value lies in the substantial improvements already completed. Major updates include a newer roof, soffits, gutters, gutter guards, HVAC system, main water line, and main sewer line. Additional investments include drainage improvements with French drains, a sump pump installation, attic insulation upgrades, pest and rodent exclusion work, electrical improvements, interior paint, and extensive tree work. The result is a home that has been thoughtfully maintained and improved, allowing the next owner to focus on enjoying the property rather than tackling major repair projects. Located in one of Atlanta's most connected neighborhoods, you'll enjoy easy access to the Atlanta BeltLine, Lee + White's breweries, restaurants, and food hall, Perkerson Park, MARTA, Tyler Perry Studios, Downtown Atlanta, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Whether commuting, dining out, or exploring the city, everything Atlanta has to offer is within easy reach. This is an opportunity to own a character-filled home with the expensive improvements already completed in one of Atlanta's most rapidly evolving neighborhoods.
