WE’RE BACK! Want to make $50,000 in equity on your next home purchase?

The entrance sets the tone: a two-story foyer with a white-oak stair, black metal balusters, a mezzanine landing, and a 10-ft window. Hand-scraped hickory engineered hardwood runs through the main floor. The kitchen has an oversized Calacatta quartz island, black herringbone tile that climbs to the ceiling, floating shelves, a farmhouse sink, a 36” range, and a walk-in pantry. The main level also includes a bedroom with a full bath, a glass-door office, and a flex room with a 60” linear electric fireplace that opens to a 390 sq ft covered deck with dual ceiling fans.

Upstairs are a loft, laundry, two secondary bedrooms, a hall bath, and the primary suite. The primary bath has a fluted double vanity, brushed-gold fixtures, and a curved frameless walk-in shower with a pebble floor. Every door in the house is solid-core, and all drywall is glued and screwed.

Behind the walls are a fully reframed floor system on an engineer-prescribed foundation, LP SmartSide siding, MI windows, a Carrier HVAC system, and spray-foam insulation at the roofline. The home is all-electric, with gas lines stubbed at the range and furnace for future flexibility. A third-party engineering firm inspected every stage of construction, and a home-buyers warranty is included at closing.

The deep 50x170 lot ends in a private walled backyard, with block walls that recall the street’s industrial past.

Washington Park, the neighborhood’s namesake, opened in 1919 as Atlanta’s first public park for Black residents. Today it has a tennis center and the Washington Park Natatorium. The home sits across from the fire station and diagonal from KIPP WAYS, on MARTA’s 51 route and an 11-minute walk to Ashby Station. The AUC is minutes away, as are Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, and the Centennial Yards district taking shape downtown. Find your next block here!

Detroit may have “Buddy’s” but I have the best pizza partner in the world. 🥹

Congratulations to @mikoslikeficus & @longkneebarnes on their marriage and beautiful ceremony. 💍

Shout out @portmanarchitects - we visited your build where @kendricklamar & @sza recorded the “Luther” music video.

Wheels down at ATL - what’s next? ✈️

Skip the surge pricing and the parking. Hop on MARTA at the airport, ride the Red or Gold line, and you’re home. That’s accessibility.

Step off the train into neighbors, local shops, and block-level pride. That’s community.

Airport, work, game day, family: it all connects. That’s connectivity.

City living gives you confidence in where you’re headed, a place you’re proud of, time back in your day, and peace of mind.

Buy a home near MARTA for under $350,000. Real options in some of Atlanta’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Ready to own in the city? DM “MARTA” and we’ll send you what’s available. ✉️

Buying a home can be hard. Especially if you’re not using B3.

That said, making a plan to VOTE is easy! 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Y’all. The STREETS of Pittsburgh, ATL. Pothole on Humphries Street by the CHEVRON - I’m looking at YOU! 👀

Last week while running errands I had to make an unexpected stop with my favorite folks at @gradyhealth out of an abundance of caution - I am very much okay but had to toss the helmet because it cracked.

It’s not a pleasant thought process - but that could’ve been my skull. However, I know “Safety is Sexy” and continue to wear my helmet down.

Blessed. Zero bone breaks - just soreness. Probably using bigger tires and the E-bike going forward on streets.

S/O @moratheexploraa who loved getting that “aye I’m okay but..” text, the folks who jumped out their car to check in on me, and also the pavilion bike racks at Grady.
