2358 Merrilee Lane SE Welcome home to the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful design, and unbeatable intown living where East Lake meets Kirkwood. Better than new and impeccably maintained, this Craftsman-inspired farmhouse offers the space you want without the upkeep of an older home. The bright, open main level is made for gathering, featuring a chef's kitchen with an oversized quartz island, abundant cabinetry, walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, and seamless flow into the dining and living areas with a cozy fireplace. A flexible bonus room on the main floor is ideal as a home office, playroom, media room, or potential fourth bedroom. Upstairs, the private primary suite is tucked away from the secondary bedrooms and loft, creating a peaceful retreat complete with dual vanities, a luxurious tiled shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Outside, enjoy the best of both worlds with a welcoming front porch and a back patio with a fenced backyard. The two-car garage provides extra convenience. Stroll the tree-lined historic streets or simply enjoy the neighborhood greenspace while the HOA takes care of the lawn. You'll love being just steps from the vibrant retail scene of Hosea+2nd which includes PERC, Poor Hendrix, Gene's, La Fonda Latina, babygirl, Huckleberry's Corner Store, Kirkwood Pediatrics, Eastwood Vet Clinic, and Cameo Salon. If you need more choices, downtown Kirkwood and Oakhurst are less than a mile away, and golf enthusiasts will enjoy being minutes from Charlie Yates and East Lake Golf Club. Modern luxury, low-maintenance living, and one of Atlanta's most walkable neighborhoods, this home truly checks every box. NOTE: K-12 students living in this home are eligible for Drew Charter School, but acceptance is not guaranteed because the school uses a lottery system.
