The backdrop to your life is the city’s urban setting. You’re on The Beltline for a jog and to grab groceries. You take meetings at Muchacho and pen your screenplay at Le Petit Marche. On any given weekend, you’re playing ball at Arizona and swapping homegrown veggies at the Urban Forest. Porchfest and the Spring Fling can never get here soon enough. Last night’s live show at Pratt Pullman was perfect. Your hope is eternally in the heartbeat of the city and the natural nature of the neighborhood, but for a while now you’ve had a nagging feeling that an outdoor sanctuary for your crew eludes you. You need this gate that swings wide to welcome neighbors and friends who walk over from Coan Park. Where you can have honeybees and hound dogs. Where y'all can be inside baking brownies while watching the babies within the fence line of the walkout backyard.

Bring your camping chair and post up here for a bit to recharge and reset. Put down your roots and get your green thumb on in the garden. Settle down with the sunset and build a bonfire within earshot of the hooting owl.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Atlanta, historic Kirkwood bridges Edgewood, Oakhurst, Lake Claire, and East Atlanta. This Craftsman-esque newer home's oak floors and open spaces align modern conveniences with a comfortable flow. From the covered front porch, enter a harmonious haven of living, dining and kitchen spaces that provide views of the fireplace and walkout backyard from nearly every room. There's even a kitchen pantry and island for all of your cooking, baking and entertainment treasures! Additionally, the main level features a full bath and bedroom that can double as a den or office.

The sunny stairhall features a bag drop, coat closet and architecturally significant wall of windows. The second floor landing is also soaked in sunlight. Two more secondary bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks complement an impressive primary suite accentuated by a vaulted wood-beam ceiling, walk-in closet, and bathroom with double sinks, private water closet, shower and separate tub. It gets even better; there’s an actual laundry room up here-not just a closet. Park your car in the driveway and put your problems on a shelf; Alder is already yours in your mind’s eye, and it’s always been exactly what you want.
