Description
Some houses are just houses. And then there's 63 Lakeview Drive.Built in 1925 ? the golden era of Kirkwood's bungalow boom ? this home has anchored one of Atlanta's most beloved historic streets for nearly a century. From the moment you arrive, you feel it: the unhurried charm of a wide front porch made for rocking chairs and conversation, original hardwood floors that carry the character only time can give, and a craftsman spirit that no new construction has ever been able to replicate.Inside, the home flows the way 1920s builders intended ? thoughtfully separated living, dining, and family spaces that still feel open and connected. The...read more kitchen has been updated with granite countertops and stainless appliances, giving you modern function without sacrificing the warmth of the original bones. The primary bedroom offers a brand new generous bath and private access to a covered back porch ? the kind of quiet retreat you didnt know you were missing until you found it. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out the floor plan.Step outside and the story continues. A fenced backyard offers privacy and space, and an unfinished carriage house sits ready for your vision ? workshop, studio, ADU potential, or simply excellent storage. The back covered porch is the natural gathering spot in every season.But heres what really sets this home apart: the address. Lakeview Drive NE is one of Kirkwoods most treasured streets ? tree-lined, quiet, and walkable to everything that makes this neighborhood special. Stroll to the shops and restaurants along Hosea + 2nd. Catch a show at Bessie Branham Park and enjoy the new green-space. Walk to Oakhurst and East Lake. Ride the PATH trail. Two MARTA stations are minutes away, and downtown Atlanta is less than 15 minutes by car.Kirkwood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 ? and 63 Lakeview is the kind of home that made the case for it. Nearly 100 years of Atlanta history live in these walls, and whoever calls this home next gets to write the next chapter.Modern updates include new primary bath, guest bath, roof tankless hot water heater and HVAC systems.
