Single Family Residence In Atlanta

Designed and lived in by Atlanta architect Scott West, 614 Irwin Street offers a rare combination
of thoughtful design, exceptional outdoor living and an enviable BeltLine location in the heart of
Old Fourth Ward. This early West Architecture Studio work offers the flexibility to occupy the
main home with an income-producing apartment below, or enjoy one private residence across
three levels.
The three-bedroom home blends modern architecture with warm, loft-inspired details. Eleven-
foot main-level ceilings, a floating staircase, wood ceilings and exposed beams evoke the
warmth and volume of historic lofts. Unusual wood flooring, a product typically used in tractor-
trailers, features substantial 12-inch-wide planks reaching 42 feet in length. Expansive windows
bring the surrounding tree canopy indoors, while floor-to-ceiling glazing gives the primary suite
a tranquil landscape view. New slat siding and tile refresh the façade, complemented by a
permeable-paver driveway.
The primary bath pairs a sculptural soaking tub and oversized shower with leathered granite
countertops and a custom stone sink and vanity. Durability and low maintenance inform the
construction: reinforced concrete block exterior walls with insulation within the blocks; brick
and composite faux-wood siding; heavy-duty commercial-grade aluminum windows with one-
inch insulated glass; metal railings; and composite decking. A brand-new TPO roof completes
the recent improvements.
A new rear deck feels like a treehouse suspended among mature trees. Below, a fully fenced,
Japanese-inspired garden pairs a signature Japanese maple and shady canopy with a fountain and
fire pit. A private spa with privacy curtains completes the secluded outdoor retreat. Substantial
wood-and-steel fencing, new synthetic turf and low-maintenance landscaping add everyday
practicality. Potential for a large rooftop deck offers another possibility, subject to structural
review and permitting.
The daylight lower level includes a kitchen, bath and separate entrance, offering flexibility as an
income-producing apartment, guest or extended-family suite, nanny accommodations or office.
Currently rented through Airbnb, it generates approximately $35,000-$40,000 in annual gross
rental income, according to the seller; future income is not guaranteed. The space can also
function as part of the main residence.
Approximately 200 yards from the BeltLine and Howard Middle School, the home places Krog
Street Market, the King Center, Edgewood nightlife, Historic Fourth Ward Park, Ponce City
Market and Inman Park Village nearby. Architectural character, exceptional outdoor spaces and
adaptable living come together with the privacy and convenience of a single-family home in a
connected Intown setting.
