Built to mimic the historic architecture of the neighborhood, this two-story shotgun packs a lot of charm into under 1,000 square feet, with hardwood floors; a working gas fireplace; refined millwork, including a breakfast bench; a marble-tiled primary bath, plus a charming powder room; and a second-floor flex space currently used as an office.

Just a stone’s throw from the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr., this tiny gem sits on a quiet side street in the thick of the action of the Old Fourth Ward, nestled between Edgewood Avenue, Auburn Avenue, and the Beltline and Krog District.
