A rare chance to own a piece of Midtown history. Homes at the DeSoto do not come on the market often, and it is easy to see why. Designed in 1914 by prominent Atlanta architect Walter T. Downing, this landmark building pairs stately architecture with the kind of spacious layout that is hard to find in Midtown.
Just off the marble foyer landing, Unit 1 has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original character while bringing the kitchen, systems, and everyday essentials fully up to date. At 1,848 square feet, the home offers plenty of room to spread out, with a formal dining room, large living room, adjoining sunroom, butler's pantry, and three generously sized bedrooms. The current owner uses one as a study, but all three are true full-size bedrooms.
Inside, you will find 9.5-foot ceilings in most rooms, hardwood floors throughout, a brick kitchen floor, and original Pewabic pottery tile surrounding the showstopping fireplace. The kitchen features leathered granite countertops, a large island made for entertaining, and a wine fridge. The kitchen appliances, laundry, HVAC system, and water heater were all replaced just three years ago. A remote building callbox with video adds modern convenience.
Tucked onto a quiet, tree-lined street between Juniper and Piedmont, the DeSoto puts some of Atlanta's best destinations within easy walking distance. Piedmont Park, MARTA, and Georgia Tech are less than a 10-minute walk away, while the Fox Theatre, Midtown High School, Colony Square, and the High Museum are about 15 minutes away.
The home also includes two assigned parking spaces, shared guest parking, and a pet-friendly building.
If you love historic charm, gracious rooms, and being close to everything that makes Midtown fun, Unit 1 at the DeSoto is a special find.
