The morning starts on the covered front porch, coffee in hand, looking out over the neighborhood's green space as the day begins. There's something about this quiet moment - the trees just waking up, a neighbor waving on their way out, dog playing fetch in the center courtyard promise of a good day ahead - that makes this house feel like home before you've even stepped inside. From the porch, it's a short walk or bike ride onto the Silver Comet Trail, one of Atlanta's most beloved paved paths, winding for miles through shaded green corridors. Whether it's a morning run, an evening bike ride, or simply a slow walk with a leash in hand, the trail becomes part of the daily rhythm here in Empire's Albright community in Vinings. The commute is just as easy. Twenty to thirty minutes puts Buckhead or Midtown within reach, with quick access to both I-285 and I-75 keeping the workday from ever taking over the evening. And when the workday winds down, The Battery Atlanta is only a short "walkable" trip away - Braves games under the lights, live music, and a lineup of restaurants that make "staying local" feel like the better option more nights than not. Head upstairs, and the main level opens into the heart of the home. High ceilings and reclaimed wood beams stretch across the family room, giving the space warmth and character that's hard to find in a typical build. It's a room built for hosting - holiday gatherings, weeknight dinners, or simply an evening in. The kitchen keeps pace with spacious granite countertops and cabinetry that runs counter-to-ceiling, so the counters stay clear and the conversation stays easy, no matter how many people are gathered around. A back deck off the dining room is made for grilling and long summer evenings, while the front porch offers a quieter view over the community's green space - a good spot for morning coffee while using the back porch for an evening wind-down. At the end of the day, the third level provides the owner's suite which is the retreat. His-and-hers closets offer room to breathe, while the en-suite bath brings a spa-like feel with dual vanity sinks and a glass-enclosed tile shower. Custom blackout curtains and pull-down shades make for restful mornings, and double-pane windows keep the space quiet and energy-efficient year-round. Down the hall, an upper floor laundry closet holds a newly added front-load washer and dryer, along with extra storage space to keep everything organized. Following an additional bedroom with a custom-finished full bath to complete the upper level. Out in the garage, a brand new upgrade durable granite epoxy polyaspartic flooring adds a clean, finished touch, and the 2nd HVAC 1/2 coils were replaced in July 2025, backed by a 5-year warranty for lasting peace of mind. Outside, the community's manicured green space becomes the daily meeting point - neighbors crossing paths on evening walks, dogs greeting each other, and conversations that turn strangers into familiar faces. Nickajack Elementary, which serves the area, performs above both state and district averages and maintains an active PTA and a genuine sense of community involvement. This home has been meticulously maintained from top to bottom and is truly ready for its next chapter. Homes like this, in a location like this, simply don't stay on the market long - come see it for yourself before someone else does.
