The listing agent uses an appropriate adjective — "fresh" — to describe this highly customized, four-bedroom beefcake in Ormewood Park, the latest example of a "modern farmhouse" in southeast Atlanta. Another adjective — "distinctive" — works, too, at least for now. Priced at $499,900, which sounds more reasonable than ½ million dollars, the farmhouse sits perched over the street, offering a rocking-chair porch and 2,400 square feet overall. Inside, it melds modern minimalism (sleek bathtubs and sinks) with rich, rustic touches (reclaimed beams and barn-style pocket doors) and then throws unexpected curve balls, like the ornate chandeliers that, in this context, come off more as quirky-cool than braggadocios. There's no covered parking, which means the back deck will offer commanding views of … vehicles. And despite its proximity to Glenwood Park and (eventually) the Beltline, the home logs a "car-dependent" Walk Score of just 39. We shall see if the uniqueness of this design closes the deal. Another urban farmhouse in Edgewood didn't last long on the market.
