Positioned just off the historic Peachtree Battle Avenue, this immaculately maintained Buckhead home offers timeless appeal. Complemented by mature trees and professional landscaping, the home’s stately exterior reflects the elegance of its surroundings.
Inside, a well-designed floor plan makes everyday living and entertaining effortless. A formal living room flows into a spacious dining area, while a generously sized family room serves as a central gathering space. Exposed beams, built-in custom shelving, and a stacked stone fireplace add warmth and character, while French doors lead to a private patio, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors.
For cooking and enjoying company, the eat-in chef’s kitchen is a defining highlight. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a central island with a gas cooktop, and double ovens, this space is both functional and stylish. A breakfast room and butler’s pantry/bar enhance the home’s hosting potential, providing additional space for casual dining and socializing.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing escape, complete with two oversized walk-in closets and a well-appointed bathroom featuring double vanities, a water closet, soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional large bedrooms, each with generous closet space, and two full bathrooms complete the second floor.
The fully finished third level adds even more versatility. With a built-in desk area, ample storage, and a flexible bonus room, this space adapts to various needs, whether as a home office, media room, or additional guest quarters.
Recently updated with fresh paint, new carpet, and two upgraded HVAC systems, this Buckhead gem is move-in ready. Offering over 5,000 square feet of living space, it combines generous interiors with a prime location, making it a rare find in one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. Within walking distance of Memorial Park, Bobby Jones Golf & Tennis, the Beltline, and the newly developed Opera complex, it also benefits from zoning for the highly regarded Morris Brandon Elementary—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking both character and convenience in the heart of Atlanta.

A unique palette for potential redevelopment has recently hit the market near downtown Decatur’s bustling food, drink, and retail blocks.
The assemblage of three contiguous properties on Church Street—two 1960s motels and a brick single-family home structure—is being marketed as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop a landmark project” within a quick walk of Historic Decatur Square, according to the Keller Williams Realty Intown ATL listing.
The three properties totaling .62 acres were listed last week for $10.5 million.
Situated about three blocks north of popular Decatur establishments such as Leon’s Full Service restaurant, the addresses span from 909 to 921 Church St.
Today they’re home to the standalone house, Super 8 by Wyndham Decatur, and at the north edge, the Decatur Inn.

Immediately to the east are the pretty, historic grounds of Decatur Cemetery. The site being relatively flat and rectangular is called a selling point.
The strong Walk Score (86/100) and Transit Score (85) can’t hurt, but the Bike Score (55) could seem weirdly low, especially with Decatur’s new Church Street cycle track at the doorstep.
According to listings, the site’s current zoning would support a variety of redevelopments; larger-scale projects would require a zoning change.
Possibilities could include condos over commercial spaces, or a luxury condo project with walkability and scenic views over the graveyard and DeKalb County’s county seat, per sellers.

Another option could be a high-end retirement community within a short walk of leisure and healthcare perks around downtown, per Keller Williams.
“Whether you’re considering a luxury townhome community, mixed-use residential/retail project, or a specialized development like a retirement home,” reads the spiel, “this prime site offers the foundation for extraordinary returns and community impact.”
Note: The assemblage is being offered only as a package deal and won’t be sold piecemeal, per sellers.
Which begs the age-old question: What should go here?

A mixed-use development that would cast a literal shadow over an under-construction Atlanta Beltline section and popular strip club is showing signs of life.
Project leaders with 1283 West filed paperwork this week with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning to bring the proposal before the department’s Concept Review Committee.
The project by Atlanta-based Five Points Development would continue the groundswell of new housing that’s recently popped up in Blandtown as the Beltline carves its path around the neighborhood.
Plans call for 200 residential units and 7,000 square feet of commercial space rising from what’s currently a vacant lot at 1283 Marietta Boulevard, about two miles west of Atlantic Station.
The site is bordered by Elaine Avenue to the north, Marietta Boulevard to the west, a small office complex to the east, and Vivide strip club to the south.
Recent filings with the city indicate the project would stand 14 stories—or slightly shorter (roughly two stories) than what renderings released last year showed.
Retail and a plaza would face Marietta Boulevard, while amenities including a pool would be situated near the base, per renderings.

Cassius Coleman, a Five Points Development principal, told Urbanize Atlanta last year his company closed a deal with Capital Impact Partners in January on the land required to build 1283 West.
Twenty-five percent of the apartments would rent for prices reserved for residents earning 80 percent of the area median income or less, while 3,000 square feet of the retail and restaurant space would be leased to underserved tenants, according to Coleman.
Beyond the pool and retail, amenities will include a fitness room, indoor lounge, common-area seating throughout the building, and an outdoor skyline view lounge up top, per Coleman.
We’ve reached out to Coleman for an outlook on 1283 West’s potential groundbreaking and other details and will update this story should further information come. The developer forecasted last year a construction loan could close toward the end of 2024.
According to Fulton County property records, the roughly 1.5-acre corner site sold for $6 million in early 2024 and still carries an industrial zoning designation.
Picard Associates; courtesy of Five Points Development
Five Points Development’s previous work includes the Legacy at Vine City project and two housing ventures near Greenbriar Mall, among other projects.
Four years ago, a different, shorter concept called RYM BeltLine was pitched for the Marietta Boulevard site. That called for 200 units of co-living housing geared toward students and recent graduates.
Should 1283 West come to fruition as planned, it would overlook walkers, joggers, and bicyclists on the Beltline west of Midtown.
Construction on the first segment of the Northwest Trail began in May and is scheduled to deliver this year, according to Beltline officials.
That .7 mile segment—one of five Northwest Trail sections that will eventually connect the West Midtown area to Buckhead—would pass directly in front of the 1283 West apartments on Marietta Boulevard and Elaine Avenue.
Some aspects of the project on Elaine Avenue are on hold as a surprise utility is relocated by the city, but Segment 5 is on pace to deliver this fall, per the Beltline.
Meanwhile, across the street, the northernmost section of the Beltline’s Westside Trail opened less than a block south of the site in 2022.

Report: Atlanta emerging as leader in office-to-residential conversions

Just last year, Atlanta lagged behind several much smaller U.S. markets when it came to the sheer number of former offices being converted to rental units. But that appears to be changing.
Boosted by conversion proposals in towering downtown buildings, such as the 51-story Georgia-Pacific Center skyscraper and 2 Peachtree, Atlanta has emerged as the nation’s sixth biggest retrofitter in terms of repurposing older offices as places for people to live.
That’s according to new findings by national apartment search platform RentCafe, which show that office-to-apartment conversions have exploded across the U.S. from 23,100 units in 2022 to nearly 71,000 today, setting a new record.
Not surprisingly, mammoth New York City now leads the retrofitting pack, with 8,310 units currently in some stage of adaptive-reuse development.
Atlanta counts 2,239 units set to come to life through conversion soon. That’s good for the third most in the South—if you count Washington D.C. as the South—according to the analysis.
Speaking of D.C., it’s now the only smaller metro with more conversion units coming—6,533, good for No. 2 in the country—than Atlanta on RentCafe’s ranking of the top 20 markets.
RentCafe
Atlanta notched an impressive 57 percent year-over-year jump in the number of conversions proposed. But whether that momentum can continue remains to be seen, as the analysis indicates just 6 percent of Atlanta’s existing office space is suitable for conversion to living spaces. That’s well below the national average of 14 percent.
That 6 percent, however, is more than 14 million square feet of suitable office floorspace across Atlanta, or what RentCafe analysts called “plenty of opportunities for future projects.”
By comparison, for context, Los Angeles counts a whopping 83 million square feet of convertible office space—six times Atlanta’s count. But competing markets such as Nashville, Austin, and Phoenix each have less than 6 million square feet ripe for conversion.
Overall, according to RenCafe’s findings, the South has emerged as the region with the most office-to-residential units (22,000 total) coming down the pike.
…
On a related note—and perhaps a somber one for development wonks—new JLL research shows Atlanta was home to exactly zero new office groundbreakings last year.
Given record vacancy levels, that’s not surprising—but it does make for the lowest office pipeline since the 1980s in Atlanta, per JLL.
The more positive news is that trophy office assets continue to see positive absorption in the city, driven by what’s called the “flight-to-quality” trend.
Meanwhile, according to JLL’s findings, office markets in Atlanta suburbs are rebounding faster than the urban core’s. OTP vacancy rates are plummeting and starting to approach pre-pandemic levels overall, in fact.
Factors driving that trend include: the fact that suburban areas saw a less dramatic vacancy increase during the pandemic; tenants “right-sizing” and shifting to cheaper, more flexible suburban markets for space; and outdated suburban office supply being yanked from inventory to balance supply and demand, per JLL’s research.

Just last year, Atlanta lagged behind several much smaller U.S. markets when it came to the sheer number of former offices being converted to rental units. But that appears to be changing. Boosted by conversion proposals in towering downtown buildings, such as the 51-story Georgia-Pacific Center skyscraper and 2 Peachtree, Atlanta has emerged as the nation’s sixth biggest retrofitter in terms of repurposing older offices as places for people to live. That’s according to new findings by national apartment search platform RentCafe, which show that office-to-apartment conversions have exploded across the U.S. from 23,100 units in 2022 to nearly 71,000 today, setting a new record. Not surprisingly, mammoth New York City now leads the retrofitting pack, with 8,310 units currently in some stage of adaptive-reuse development. Atlanta counts 2,239 units set to come to life through conversion soon. That’s good for the third most in the South—if you count Washington D.C. as the South—according to the analysis. Speaking of D.C., it’s now the only smaller metro with more conversion units coming—6,533, good for No. 2 in the country—than Atlanta on RentCafe’s ranking of the top 20 markets.

Atlanta notched an impressive 57 percent year-over-year jump in the number of conversions proposed. But whether that momentum can continue remains to be seen, as the analysis indicates just 6 percent of Atlanta’s existing office space is suitable for conversion to living spaces. That’s well below the national average of 14 percent. That 6 percent, however, is more than 14 million square feet of suitable office floorspace across Atlanta, or what RentCafe analysts called “plenty of opportunities for future projects.” By comparison, for context, Los Angeles counts a whopping 83 million square feet of convertible office space—six times Atlanta’s count. But competing markets such as Nashville, Austin, and Phoenix each have less than 6 million square feet ripe for conversion.Overall, according to RenCafe’s findings, the South has emerged as the region with the most office-to-residential units (22,000 total) coming down the pike. …On a related note—and perhaps a somber one for development wonks—new JLL research shows Atlanta was home to exactly zero new office groundbreakings last year. Given record vacancy levels, that’s not surprising—but it does make for the lowest office pipeline since the 1980s in Atlanta, per JLL. The more positive news is that trophy office assets continue to see positive absorption in the city, driven by what’s called the “flight-to-quality” trend.Meanwhile, according to JLL’s findings, office markets in Atlanta suburbs are rebounding faster than the urban core’s. OTP vacancy rates are plummeting and starting to approach pre-pandemic levels overall, in fact. Factors driving that trend include: the fact that suburban areas saw a less dramatic vacancy increase during the pandemic; tenants “right-sizing” and shifting to cheaper, more flexible suburban markets for space; and outdated suburban office supply being yanked from inventory to balance supply and demand, per JLL’s research.
