Welcome to 101 Bates Avenue, a freshly updated Kirkwood home with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a bonus room perfect for a home office, all in just over 1,700 square feet of flexible living space. Inside, you'll find a light-filled home where nearly everything has had a glow-up. Beautiful new hardwood floors on the main level, new carpet upstairs, fresh paint, and new lighting throughout create a crisp, move-in-ready feel. The kitchen features new quartz countertops and a tile backsplash, while the primary suite includes a beautifully renovated shower and additional closet space. The bonus room on the main level offers a dedicated place to work, create, or curl up with a good book. Out back, a huge deck offers plenty of room for dining, entertaining, and living your best outdoor life. There's also a shed perfect for storage or a workshop, plus a paver patio begging for firepit gatherings. Just blocks from Kirkwood Village, this beauty is walkable to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, Bessie Branham Park, and community events. Kirkwood residents also receive priority consideration in the Drew Charter School enrollment lottery. Pullman Yards, Oakhurst Village, Downtown Decatur, and East Lake MARTA are also nearby, with easy access to Emory, the CDC, Downtown Atlanta, and I-20. Updated, move-in ready, and right in the middle of one of Atlanta's best-loved neighborhoods, this one checks a lot of boxes and looks great doing it.
