The two bedrooms feature queen beds and a pull out sofa In the living room creates a comfortable arrangement for up to six guests. The full, updated and compact kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances, a sizable pantry and has all that one might require to prepare a special meal to enjoy in the spacious and separate dining room. A private screened-in porch overlooks a large shaded garden, babbling goldfish pond and hundred-year-old oak trees. Together, with our Midtown skyline views and walking access to so many amenities associated with urban Atlanta living, this home truly offers a rare oasis from which one may enjoy the best of our wonderful and vibrant city. Our home can truly be enjoyed without a car, a rarity in Atlanta, but there’s plenty of on-street parking available should it be required. We’re located just steps from the closest MARTA bus stop and 1.5 miles from the Arts Center MARTA station. Ansley Mall offers Publix and Kroger supermarkets as well and all sorts of retail and dining options and is just a two-minute walk from our front door. But if you must have Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or Sprouts, all are within walking distance or if you’d like, hop on one of our Dutch-designed bikes and get just about anywhere in a matter of a few short minutes. The Beltline is accessed from the north extension of Piedmont Park via a dedicated and safe street crossing just off the corner of our street. From there you’ll have quick access to Ponce City Market, Virginia Highlands, Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park. Uber rides are plentiful and readily available and 20 minutes and $20 gets you to/from the airport, fares of $5-$10 will get you just about anywhere intown or downtown from our central location. The carriage house was originally constructed in 1927 and lies tucked behind our main house on the high side of a private, yet very accessible street. A short walk up our driveway brings you to a stone staircase that provides entry to the the screened-in porch and front door to the cottage. There are twelve steps, so this might not be the best place if you have trouble getting around. A back door to the house opens directly to a small patio for your private use. The shared, flat, landscaped back yard is shaded by a 150-200 year-old giant oak tree (this tree witnessed the Civil War up and close!) and features a large fire pit with plenty of seating that you are welcome to use with prior arrangement. The setting becomes quite special on cool fall and winter evenings when the vantage point provides clear views of the Midtown skyline. Towards the front of the carriage house there's an additional tiered, level area with a small goldfish pond and a huge outdoor dining table that seats 16. The table is constructed of two antique barn doors that we brought back from Spain years ago and provides a magic setting for a big family or special meal or a nice place to spread out the paper for morning coffee. The table is yours to use but please let us know if you're planning something special as we dine there as well. The carriage house sits on a two car garage, so if you need to store bikes, strollers, etc., there's plenty of room. In general, the entire back yard is yours to enjoy and we hope you do! We live in the main house, so we're just a knock on the door away to assist you with making the most of your stay. We've been in the area for a long time and are avid and adventurous travelers ourselves, so we're ready to help with any of your questions. The house is in the prized Morningside area, on a shaded pedestrian-friendly street. Stroll to supermarkets, restaurants, and nightlife. A park and playground are on the street, and Piedmont Park, Botanical Gardens, and the Beltline are nearby. A car is not necessary to stay here, but if you must, we are very convenient to I-75/85 and have plenty of on-street, free parking. The Arts Center MARTA train station is 1.5 miles away - a 20 minute walk or $5 uber ride. A MARTA bus stop is located just down the end of our street. We're 20 minutes from the airport by car (about a $20 uber fare). Via train, just take any train from the airport to Arts Center Station. Please use our bikes to explore the area! We brought them back from Amsterdam and they are much happier when they're out rolling through the Beltline and the Park! Locks and helmets are available as well, just please return everything in the same condition in which they left.
