641 Mcdonald ST SE Atlanta, GA 30312

Old-school, shotgun-style Southern charm in its purest form, in a location you just can't top. That's the main takeaway of 641 McDonald Street. Located just one block south of Memorial Drive (and Cabbagetown), and only a stone's throw from Boulevard and I-20, the centrality of this place is stunning, no matter where your commute might happen to take you. Plus, it's no secret that this corner of town has become the new center of all that modern Atlanta has to offer. Beltline access? Just moments away by foot. Some of Memorial Drive's culinary standbys are walkable. Out front, a brick and wrought-iron entryway feels downright New Orleanian. The entire property is fenced in, with the house itself located smack-dab in the middle, which means the new owner will strike that balance of city living, while still being able to kick the dog outside in the morning. Now, when we say classic shotgun, we mean it. The elevated front porch opens into a newly renovated interior, starting with the living room. Hardwood flooring and a minimalistic palette lead through to space number two, which has been tactfully partitioned to create the bedroom space. Toward the back of the home, an oversized kitchen with enough countertop to exercise your culinary muscles. Finally, at the very tail-end of the home, the utility space — washer, dryer, storage, and a full bath. It's as simple as that. And therein lies the charm of these few shotgun-style homes that have, somehow, withstood the years while escaping expansion or tear down. No bells and whistles, absolutely functional, lovingly maintained, just a little eccentric, and ideally situated for two folks and a dog. That slice of the city you can call your very own.
