Historic Midtown Charm With A Rare Gated Two Car Garage

Set behind a gated front lawn in Atlanta’s historic Midtown Garden District, 867 Monroe Drive is a beautifully updated 1916 residence where original architectural character meets the space and functionality of modern living. Rich millwork, pocket doors, built-in bookcases, hardwood floors and distinctive decorative fireplaces speak to the home’s history, while a thoughtful expansion created the larger kitchen, breakfast room, screened porch and powder room buyers want today, along with something particularly rare for the neighborhood: a **secured two-car drive-under garage**. A deep covered front porch welcomes you into the gracious entry hall, where beautiful original details set the tone. The main level flows easily from the generous dining room and family room into the expanded kitchen, centered around a large island with KitchenAid appliances and excellent pantry storage. The adjoining breakfast room and screened porch extend the living space and create an inviting setting for everything from morning coffee to relaxed entertaining. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is filled with natural light and features a decorative fireplace, renovated marble bath with dual vanities and oversized shower, and a custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor, including one with its own decorative fireplace. The hall bath retains the home’s original clawfoot tub, while an upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience. Thoughtful improvements extend beyond what you see, including replacement windows, updated mechanical systems, tankless water heater and foam insulation. The lower level provides the secured two-car garage along with valuable dry storage, while the electric gate adds privacy and convenience to the driveway and rear parking area. Located in the Midtown Garden District, with Piedmont Park, the Atlanta BeltLine, Ponce City Market and the restaurants, shops and neighborhood favorites of Midtown and Virginia-Highland nearby. **A rare opportunity to enjoy the character of a 1916 Atlanta home thoughtfully expanded and updated for the way we live today.** **1916 Midtown character. A thoughtful expansion. And yes… a gated two-car garage.**
