There are houses that have been updated—and then there are homes that have been completely reimagined. Welcome to 2222 Spink Street, a better-than-new retreat tucked into Atlanta’s Riverside neighborhood, where thoughtful design, unexpected space, and an extraordinary backyard come together in a way that is increasingly hard to find. Set back from the street behind a circular driveway, the home immediately makes a statement. Its dramatic Iron Ore exterior, Black Magic window frames, warm cedar detailing, new columns, modern lighting, and welcoming front porch create a look that feels timeless. Step inside, and the vaulted family room draws your eye upward while the fireplace and custom wood accent wall make the space feel grounded and inviting. It is the kind of room that works just as beautifully for quiet evenings as it does for a house full of friends. Just beyond it, a flexible study or formal dining room offers a dedicated space to work, gather, or create. At the center of the home is a kitchen designed for real life. Fieldstone Gray cabinetry, granite countertops, new Samsung appliances, a custom herringbone backsplash, updated hardware, abundant storage, and a floating breakfast bar create a space that is polished without feeling precious. The custom-built banquette, complete with hidden storage, is ready for slow Saturday breakfasts, homework sessions, and conversations that stretch long after dinner is over. French doors lead to the expansive back deck and one of the home’s most memorable features: an estate-sized backyard extending approximately 300 feet beneath a canopy of trees. There is room here to entertain, garden, play, add a pool, or simply enjoy the privacy and stillness that feels miles away from the city. The private main-level primary suite is its own peaceful retreat. Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows fill the bedroom with natural light, while a door provides direct access to the deck. Dual closets offer generous storage, and the completely renovated bathroom feels more like a private spa, with separate vanities, an oversized 72-inch soaking tub, an expanded shower with a built-in bench, custom glass, herringbone tile detailing, and a Bluetooth speaker fan. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a beautifully renovated bath. Upstairs, a separate bonus suite with its own new full bathroom and walk-in closet can become whatever life requires—a fourth bedroom, guest retreat, home office, playroom, or media room. The finished terrace level adds even more flexibility, with walk-out access to the backyard and space for a gym, game room, studio, or potential fifth bedroom. There is also ample space to the right of the home perfect for a custom carport. In the rear, is a concrete pad providing the perfect place for pickle ball, basketball or a site to build a garage in the future. Life in Riverside offers the rare balance of neighborhood charm and city convenience. Spend mornings walking, running, or biking along the nearby Silver Comet Trail. Meet friends for dinner and cocktails at The Companion or explore neighborhood favorites such as Frazie’s Meat & Market and Public House 28. West Midtown, Midtown, Downtown Atlanta, The Battery, parks, shopping, dining, and major highways are all within easy reach, while future trail and riverfront improvements will bring even more outdoor recreation to the area. Not to mention, award-winning schools!
