A true Southern classic (with a heck of a view), 560 Berne Street is one of those subtly grand three-bedroom, two-bath homes that helped define Grant Park in its (first) heyday. Constructed in 1920, it has two floors, 10-foot ceilings on the ground level and 9-foot ceilings on the second. Both levels step out to deep, gingerbread-trimmed covered porches—a perfect locale to enjoy the day's first cup of coffee while taking in uninterrupted views of Atlanta's oldest city park. This nook of Berne Street is perpetually quiet and, in the case of 560, features a direct, oak-studded vista of the rolling hills that define the Grant Park Trail pedestrian path. Spring is springing now… but wait until autumn. Look at us. Talking so much about the (close in, easy access) location, without touching on the home itself: behind the white picket fence and beyond the maple and the Washingtonian palm, 560 Berne has been meticulously maintained, not only by the previous owners but by the generations who came before. This pedigree descends from a century's worth of occupants, each of whom has instilled their own taste while never detracting from the home's original beauty.  There are five fireplaces in this home. Five. Each with its centerpiece-but-mild ornamentation. Original, thick-hewn hardwoods, throughout, the kind they haven't had the trees to create in the last some-ought years. The *dining area* of this home is the first element that greets across the threshold — *this* is the core of the house: the room that leads to the ample family room; the kitchen (spacious, modular, stainless, an island-cum-breakfast bar, white cabinetry that's just… perfect for the space); to the upstairs; from the laundry nook (which, itself, effortlessly manages to be charming) a dedicated office nook (just at the top of the stairs), with the built-in L-shape desk. Each bedroom offers plenty of storage and easy access to the hall bath. Two of the bedrooms — the primary and the other south-facing — boast access to the upper balcony, which offers sweeping views of Atlanta's first city park. Out in the side yard, this little gathering space is so cute. Instantly dog—and kid-friendly. And, with this shed in the background. Shed? Is that the right word? It could certainly be upgraded into its "own thing," preference permitting. For now, it's a good spot for additional storage, and it even matches the house. Somehow, it makes the whole lot seem… bigger. Intentional. Truly classic architecture like this is something folks don't tend to part with very often. In a world of cookie-cutter construction, there are few properties that *really* earn the classification of 'home.' Places that fall into this category where a sense of permanence is actually, as should be implied, a timeless thing. That's 560 Berne Street, the one right there, on Grant Park. With its prime location, 560 Berne Street is more than just a home – it's an opportunity to invest in your future and create lasting memories with your loved ones. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history. Priced to sell at $699,900. Serious inquiries only.
