Atlanta Residential

Looking for a home with a fully finished ADU? A detached two-car garage? Beautiful custom finishes? And a location just minutes from the Atlanta BeltLine? Finding one of those features is easy. Finding all of them in one home? That’s a different story. But that’s exactly what you’ll find at 540 Willard Avenue in Atlanta’s Westview neighborhood.
There’s a certain confidence to this home. Not loud. Not showy. Just quietly exceptional from the moment you arrive. This custom-built home was designed around real life, how people move through spaces and how daily routines actually work. The exterior sets the tone and blends modern lines with warmth and substance, while the garage and finished ADU offers flexibility rarely found in homes in intown Atlanta.
Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer makes an immediate impression with soaring windows and a striking staircase with natural wood treads and black iron railings. Beyond the foyer, the main level opens into a thoughtfully designed floorplan where the dining, kitchen, and living spaces connect while maintaining their own identity. The dining area features custom wall detailing and statement lighting, while the living room is anchored by a fireplace flanked by built-in wood shelving. Oversized full-span glass doors open to the covered rear patio, extending the living space outdoors.
The kitchen strikes that rare balance between beautiful and genuinely functional. An oversized island offers generous seating and workspace, surrounded by custom cabinetry, a gas range, and a distinctive wood range hood. Open without feeling exposed, the kitchen connects naturally to the surrounding living and dining spaces. A walk-in pantry and dedicated mudroom provide practical storage for everyday living. A main-level bedroom with access to a full bathroom offers flexibility for guests or a home office.
Upstairs, the layout continues to impress. An open loft provides a second living area that can work as a lounge or workspace. The oversized primary suite offers a relaxing retreat, complete with an large custom built out walk-in closet and a beautifully designed bathroom. A double vanity with rich cabinetry and warm brass accents sets the tone, while the oversized glass-enclosed shower and freestanging soaking tub create a spa-inspired design. Two additional bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room round out the upper level.
And then there’s the feature that takes this property to another level. Behind the main residence sits a detached two-car garage with a fully finished ADU above, complete with its own private exterior entrance, kitchen, full bathroom, and living/sleeping area. Ideal for extended family, guests, a home office, or potential rental income, this separate living space offers rare flexibility for intown living. Best of all, the space is already finished and ready to use.
The location is equally appealing.
