1112 BOULEVARD Drive NE

First thing’s first: this impeccably maintained century-old bungalow, with its incredible location and positively massive backyard, is located on Boulevard *Drive.* (Not to be confused with Boulevard, the larger, more bustling thoroughfare that’s located a bit to the west.) We just wanted to avoid any confusion. Turns out, this fact works out pretty nicely. Boulevard Drive is only a block long: one of those old, tree-lined side streets where the tranquility almost makes you forget that you’re close to… all the things. With both the Moreland Avenue and Memorial Drive corridors just a few hundred feet away, any necessary commute is a breeze, though depending on your lifestyle, the cars might stay parked in the driveway more often than not — the Edgewood Retail District is five minutes by foot, and even closer, you’ll find the Inman Park MARTA stop. It’s always a little tacky to pop out the ol’ “Triple L” real estate jargon, but sometimes, it’s appropriate: “location, location, location” is the name of the game with 1112 Boulevard Drive. Not that the house itself isn’t insanely cute. A single-level 3-bed/1-bath that’s been tended to with loads of love — the sellers have held onto it for the past 20 years, and in that time, have instilled a timeless sensibility onto the sturdy, 1925 bones: a front porch that’s been split to provide a private sitting area, just off the primary suite; a pair of old-school brick fireplaces; a modular floor plan that will find its greatest benefit accommodating a pair of high-end work-from-home folks. Folks who, likely, will have a dog (or three). That backyard is already prepped for it: gravel with a firepit closest to the house, where folks can hang out. And beyond, an entire portion that’s already fenced off (with a quaint farmyard vibe, visible, where the pooches can sniff around, safe and sound). Lots of old-growth trees, and fully equipped with loads of green, easily maintainable landscaping. An easygoing block of houses, with nice people living around you. The kitchen is fully functional right out of the box and doesn’t present any difficulties for a flexible, taste-dependent upgrade strategy if that’s in the plans. Buckets of natural light from the front-facing southern exposure. And, again, that center-of-it-all but still-tucked-away location. Priced to bring immediate attention from serious, qualified buyers who understand that the value of property and real estate, in general, is about where it's located. $499,900
