Porch Swing & Turret Dreams – 4BR in Kirkwood

Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bath Queen Anne home in the heart of Kirkwood—over 100 years old and filled with timeless character, yet thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be charmed by the expansive wrap-around front porch, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning, enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, or simply relaxing with a book while the neighborhood hums softly around you.

Inside, the home offers an abundance of space, including three separate living rooms—each with its own personality—so your group can gather together or spread out for quiet time. The soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main floor and skylit upstairs living areas make the home feel bright and airy.

For book lovers, the home is a dream: there are over 1,000 books in every genre imaginable—fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, children’s books, and more—ready for you to explore during your stay.

The chef’s kitchen is a perfect blend of classic style and modern amenities, with quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room—framed by tall pocket doors—offers a memorable setting for family meals or special dinners with friends.

Each of the four bedrooms is designed with comfort in mind, from the serene master suite with a spa-like bath to the welcoming guest rooms with cozy bedding. The fenced backyard, lined with fruit trees, provides a private outdoor escape, ideal for quiet mornings or late-afternoon lounging.

While the home is rich in history and full of original charm, it’s also equipped with all the modern conveniences you need—gig-speed internet, smart TVs, a monitored security system, and plenty of comfortable workspaces for those working remotely.

Nestled on a quiet street yet just a short walk to Pullman Yards, shops, restaurants, and MARTA, this home is the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and urban convenience.
