If you've been waiting for the Old Fourth Ward home-the one with walk-everywhere access, unforgettable outdoor spaces, and smart income potential-this is it. Set on coveted East Ave, the residence sits steps from the Eastside BeltLine, Historic Fourth Ward Park and Skatepark, the new neighborhood social/fitness club, award-winning dining, Ponce City Market, and Krog Street Market; a short scooter or bike ride reaches Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and State Farm Arena. A gated, south-facing flagstone garden greets you with koi gliding beneath Japanese maples and the sound of water softening the city. The broad front porch is a neighborhood magnet-porch-side conversations, friendships that take root, and O4W's legendary Halloween street party right out front. Inside, a carved front door with dogwood-emblemed stained glass (in the Old Fourth Ward style) opens to 10' ceilings, rich wainscoting and crown, red and white oak floors, and arched transitions that set a refined tone. A fireside sitting room welcomes conversation; a formal dining room hosts milestone dinners. The butler's pantry leads to a chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero, double Thermador ovens plus warming drawer, Thermador range, leathered quartzite, and Rev-A-Shelf storage. The breakfast bar and banquette open to a gracious living room with gas fireplace and an all-season screened porch with natural-gas hookup-ideal for al-fresco meals or crisp morning air. Upstairs, the fireside primary suite offers generous closets and a spa-caliber bath with travertine, a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms enjoy en-suite baths; a fourth large bedroom connects via Jack-and-Jill to a smaller bedroom/office. All five bedrooms feature large walk-in closets and direct bathroom access. A top-floor bonus with half bath flexes as studio, play space, or office. On the terrace level, a custom wine cellar-vintage French riddling racks and EuroCave-sets the stage for tastings before movie nights in the theater. A serene bath, a multi-purpose transition room, and clever storage (including a hidden room) make the level as practical as it is indulgent. The attached three-car garage (epoxy floor, Flow-Wall storage) opens directly into the home for true lock-and-leave convenience. Out back, the property lives like a private club: TimberTech/Azek composite decks, an under-deck kitchenette and lounge, low-maintenance turf, landscape lighting, and an oversized Swim Spa with powerful swim jets and spa seating. Backyard BBQs, game-day gatherings, twilight dinners-this is where memories multiply. A major advantage is the private-entry, updated one-bedroom apartment-ideal for offsetting costs, guest independence, or a quiet studio. It includes a full kitchen, laundry, fireplace, a large balcony over the backyard, and a dedicated garage space off the gated drive. Documented rental history (most recently ~$1, 800/month; records available); recently renovated for a long-term family stay. Quality and care are evident throughout in meticulous maintenance and major updates: two new HVAC systems (2021), two new water heaters (2021), a 2016 architectural roof, and a 2022 multi-level composite deck system. Life here is about enjoyment and venturing out, not punch lists. Beloved by its neighbors, this premier spot on East Ave is the place to be-where front-porch hellos become long conversations, where holidays spill from the dining room to the outdoor living rooms, and where daily life feels special. With income generation, true walkability, resort-style outdoor living, and a traditional plan refined for modern comfort, 574 East Ave NE is a home to thrive in, feel alive in, and be genuinely at home.
