This is a fabulous 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhome-style condominium with a 2-car garage for sale in the popular Underwood Hills neighborhood on Atlanta’s westside. On the main level, this 3-level home features: a wide, covered front porch (1 of 4 porches/balconies); a bright living room with oversized windows on 2 walls; an open dining room with gas fireplace; a separate, spacious family room with gas fireplace, built-in shelving and entertainment center, and patio doors to a second balcony; the family room is open to the contemporary kitchen with black granite countertops, tumbled stone backsplash, and stainless steel appliances; and a guest powder room. Upstairs, the master suite features a large master bedroom with both walk-in and reach-in closets, a private balcony with porch swing, and a luxurious private master bathroom with double vanity, garden tub, and separate, tiled shower. There are 2 additional bedrooms plus a full hall bathroom with vanity and tub/shower. A large laundry room is conveniently located upstairs. On the ground level, there is a drive-under 2-car garage, tiled mudroom, and a large, unfinished basement storage area.
Underwood Hills is convenient to everything that intown Atlanta has to offer, but also provides a quiet, peaceful setting. From here, you have easy access to I-75/85, GA 400, and I-285 as well as the shops of Buckhead, Midtown’s arts venues, and the Downtown business district. This is a creative part of town. There are antique shops, funky furniture warehouses, excellent restaurants, and incubators for small businesses and arts organizations all around the Westside (or Midtown West as the larger community has become known in recent years).
For many years, this was an industrial part of town with small, semi-rural residential neighborhoods. Since the 1990s, the area once again attracted residential development because of its excellent location in proximity to the interstate and the more well-known intown neighborhoods. This area features a mix of new homes and renovated older homes. The popular Atlantic Station multi-use development is located about a mile from Underwood Hills. It features residential, entertainment and retail components as well as hotel and office space. The District at Howell Mill is another large new shopping center nearby. It features major retailers including: Wal-Mart, Ross, TJ Maxx, PetSmart, Starbucks, and more.
Underwood Hills has its own charming neighborhood park, Underwood Park, with a ball field, 2 tennis courts, a basketball court, a nice picnic shelter, and 2 new playgrounds (one for older children, one for preschoolers). This area is also convenient to Atlanta Memorial Park (home of the Bobby Jones public 18-hole golf course and the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center); Chastain Park (one of the city’s premier performing arts venues); and the southern end of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (rafting, hiking, fishing, etc.).
The Underwood Hills area was conceived as a neighborhood as early as 1902, when it was dubbed Northside Park, but construction in this area —- on the edge of the city —- didn’t pick up steam until the 1920s. Many residents then were employed by the nearby Seaboard Coastline Railroad. Their brick and frame cottages and bungalows reflected modest lifestyles.
Building in the neighborhood continued through the post-World War II boom. But construction of I-75 removed some houses and turned the area into a residential island surrounded by the highway and major commercial corridors.
In the 1970s and 1980s, residents fought numerous rezoning battles to contain an explosion of high-density projects along DeFoor Avenue and Collier Road. The 1990s brought a resurgence of new single-family homes as buyers sought close-in property.
