813 Essie Avenue SE

Ormewood Park, Atlanta, GA 30316

Own a piece of history, one of the original 1917 bungalows in the heart of Ormewood Park! This charming home features three outdoor living/entertainment spaces, chef's oversized kitchen, large living and dining rooms, an expansive owner's suite, and two additional spacious bedrooms with three full baths. The front garden of mature plants (lenten roses, giant camellia, crepe myrtles, rose and azalea bushes) frames the ENORMOUS front porch, with the quintessential haint blue ceiling and porch swings. The azaleas can grow high for privacy, but are currently cut back for opportunity to connect with neighbors as they walk their dogs while you relax on the porch. The elegant foyer welcomes you to this airy home with 10 ft. ceilings, hardwood floors, spacious rooms, and streaming light. The large foyer features stained glass accent windows, views to the large living room, stairwell, dining room, and the back screened-in porch. A professional woodworking artist framed the stairwell and handbuilt the cubby/locker storage hidden in the walls, accessed by glass pulls. The ENORMOUS kitchen boasts an eat-in counter of Blue Eyes Granite, double oven, farm sink, prep sink, beverage fridge, gas stove, and butler's pantry. The first floor also includes two cozy bedrooms and two full bathrooms with original windows and hardware, exuding period charm. Take the stairs to the expansive and secluded owner's suite on the lower level, spanning the entire length of the home. Its wall of windows gives light, views and access to the garden, deck, and waterfall pond. This open-concept level features the sleeping and office/studio area, walk-in cedar closet, linen closet, and laundry room with plenty of storage. The renovated owner's bathroom offers plenty of room with a large marble vanity, dual sinks, walk-in shower, and separate toilet. A small light-filled flex room is used as a winter garden-plant keeping area. In combination with the walk-in shower, it becomes a doggie spa! The flex room can be the perfect spot for a soaking tub or small studio/workshop. Add a kitchenette and the lower level becomes an in-law suite or rental income with private access! The attic space with 15' ceilings presents a rare opportunity for expansion or extra storage. Don't miss the large shed in the backyard, perfect for tools, bikes and yard equipment. Across Essie Ave's one-way street is the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School's Middle Campus. Steps to the Atlanta BeltLine, Ormewood's dog park & playground, neighborhood restaurants, and Red's Farm (a hidden gem). Close to Grant Park, Zoo Atlanta, East Atlanta Village, and Glenwood Park's stores, restaurants, and entertainment. Location, walkability, and great folks make Ormewood Park one of Atlanta's most lively and desirable neighborhoods! Welcome Home!
