The gist: Just blocks from Piedmont Park on Charles Allen Drive, this circa-1920 home underwent a “fabulous” renovation that saw the addition of a new kitchen, smart home technology, and an outdoor kitchen. However, it still retains its “Old World” charm thanks to the large covered front porch, original hardwoods, and crown moldings. Could the mere carport parking be holding it back in garage-loving Atlanta?

The third floor boasts a full wet bar and 270-degree views of Georgia Tech, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, downtown, and Stone Mountain. It’s a safe bet, however, that the HOA fees aren’t chickenfeed.
