1719 Flat Shoals Rd SE

About This Home

Charming: we know it’s a word that gets tossed around a lot in real estate. But in the case of 1719 Flat Shoals Road? It really applies. Adorable little hedges framing a gabled entryway; a cozy,fireplace-equipped living area with the little artist’s nook off to the side; a chef’s kitchen that’s rife with stainless steel,ample cabinet space,and one heck of a backsplash; warm,multi-hued hardwood throughout the common areas and downstairs bedrooms; squared columns that separate space without sacrificing a flowing,open floor plan; the vaulted ceilings in the master suite-only upper level; the eye-catching tilework in the bathrooms — everything combines to give this home a feel that’s,well,homey. So,it’s a little hard to pin down the unique aesthetic of 1719 Flat Shoals Road in East Atlanta,a property that’s done such a good job at modernizing itself while not giving up its built-in-1940 charm (there’s that word again). But if you were describing it to a friend,it’s not hard to imagine “classically Southern cottage with just a hint of New England coastal” working its way into a conversation. That about gets it right. Clocking in at just under 1600 square feet (3 beds and 2 baths,by the way),1719 hits the sweet spot for most — something that’s bolstered by the sprawling,immaculately maintained,private backyard that’s ideal for kicking the dog out in the morning. Great deck,too,for entertaining around a grill and party time. (Speaking of which,some serious curb appeal in the front,with an oversized envy-of-the-neighborhood lawn and a literal picket fence.) Lastly,the location in one of East Atlanta’s “already-up-and-went” enclaves is a winner.
