Welcome to 649 Federal Terrace! She's a kickass little 2 bed, 2 bath with a bonus loft, and she lives way bigger than her 1,156 square feet. Built in 1925 and thoughtfully updated over the years, she keeps the good bones and loses the headaches. Step inside and the whole place opens up: soaring vaulted ceilings over a great room where the living, dining, and kitchen all flow together, anchored by a cast-iron wood-burning stove. Big original double-hung windows in stained wood casings pull light across the floors all day, and the stained glass throws real color when the sun hits right. Fresh paint, all new lighting, and brand new cabinets, quartz counters, and appliances bring her firmly into now, while the substantial original trim and tall wood-cased doorways keep her rooted in her history. The floors steal the show: gorgeous refinished hardwoods on the main level and easy-living LVP up in the loft, which you reach by a library-style ladder to a railed mezzanine overlooking it all. Out front, a covered porch is made for slow mornings and a cold drink at dusk.
Under the good looks, the stuff that actually matters is taken care of. Plumbing and electrical were completely updated in 2001, the metal roof is barely broken in (2.5 years), and there's a fully encapsulated crawl space, a brand new condenser, a newer water heater (1.5 years), and a furnace that's still got plenty of life at six years old. Translation: move in, exhale, and spend your weekends out in the neighborhood instead of at the hardware store.
Then there's the location. Walk over to Red's Beer Garden for a dog and a cold one on the patio, grab your morning cup at Community Grounds on McDonough, and tap into the Beltline's Southside Trail when you feel like roaming. And Benteen Park puts you a quick hop from Grant Park, so Zoo Atlanta, all 131 acres of green space, and the Sunday Grant Park Farmers Market are basically in your back pocket.
Charming, dialed in, and ready for her next chapter. Come see her before someone else does.
