There’s a certain confidence to this home. Not loud. Not showy. Just quietly exceptional from the moment you arrive. This custom-built new construction was professionally designed with real life in mind, how people move through a home, how spaces connect, and how daily routines actually work. The exterior sets the tone, blending modern lines with warmth and substance, while a two-car garage anchors the property and offers an unfinished space above that’s ready to become whatever your lifestyle needs next: an ADU, gym, studio, or private office. Step inside and the experience unfolds intentionally. A proper foyer leads you inward, where the main level opens up without losing definition. The living room centers the home, grounded by a sleek fireplace and framed by full-span sliding glass doors that pull the outdoors in. Open them wide and the covered back patio becomes a true extension of the living space, perfect for hosting, quiet mornings, or evenings that stretch long past sunset. This kitchen is the kind of space that quietly becomes the center of daily life, not because it demands attention, but because it works beautifully. It is built for function and is both striking and functional. A large island anchors the room, offering generous seating and workspace without overwhelming the space. Surrounding it, custom cabinetry lines the walls with intention. The gas range wall anchors the room, framed by a custom wood hood that adds warmth and architectural interest. A true walk-in pantry offers plenty of storage and just off the kitchen is true mudroom that keeps daily comings and goings organized and out of sight. What stands out most is how effortlessly this kitchen connects to the surrounding living and dining spaces. It’s open without feeling exposed, integrated without losing its identity. Upstairs, the layout continues to deliver. A loft-style secondary living area offers flexibility for more family space or a quiet retreat. The oversized primary suite feels calm and composed, with a spa-inspired bath that balances clean lines with warmth and a huge walk-in closet. A double vanity anchors the ensuite bathroom space, the shower is designed as a true retreat as it’s fully enclosed in glass with beautiful tile as the feature. The freestanding soaking tub becomes a focal point. Set beneath a window and surrounded by soft finishes, it invites long baths, deep breaths, and a pause from the pace of the day. The placement feels purposeful, creating separation while still maintaining flow within the space. What truly stands out is how cohesive everything feels, giving the bathroom a sense of balance and longevity rather than trend-driven flash. And then there’s the neighborhood. Located in Westview, this home places 2 minutes from the Atlanta BeltLine, 2 minutes to Westview Commercial District with restaurants, coffee shops and Westview Corner Grocery. Nearby, Lee + White has become a Southwest Atlanta hub for breweries, restaurants, retail, and a buzzing food hall. This is the kind of neighborhood where people know each other. Where neighbors look out for one another. There’s a real sense of connection here, reinforced by local coffee shops, familiar faces, and sidewalks that invite conversation. Beyond the charm, the location sits at the epicenter of Southwest Atlanta’s growth. Major nearby investments, including the West End Mall revitalization, Murphy Crossing redevelopment, Atrium Health’s acquisition of The MET, and the upcoming Oakland City Exchange with new retail and maker spaces—are actively reshaping the area while supporting long-term equity potential. With easy access to MARTA, getting around the city is effortless whether you’re commuting or exploring. This home doesn’t just offer beautiful interiors. It offers flexibility. It offers community. It offers a lifestyle that feels intentional, grounded, and forward thinking. A custom build. A connected neighborhood. And a future that’s already taking shape.
