If you've been waiting for that 'East Ave NE' house - the one with walk-everywhere access, unforgettable outdoor spaces, and smart income potential - this is it. Set on coveted East Ave at the heart of Old Fourth Ward's walk-everywhere corridor - steps to the BeltLine, Historic Fourth Ward Park, Ponce City Market, and Krog Street Market - this impeccably cared-for Craftsman pairs ease of access with everyday elegance. Beyond the oversized front porch, the residence lives as both private retreat and gracious gathering place. It's smart, too: a private, fully updated one-bedroom apartment adds flexibility and value. Mornings begin in the gated, south-facing garden, where koi glide beneath Japanese maples and a waterfall softens the city. The massive front porch is a neighborhood magnet where passersby pause to chat and friendships take root. Each Halloween, East Ave closes for a legendary street party, and this porch is right in the heart of it. Inside, a carved front door with custom Old Fourth Ward Magnolia-style stained glass opens to 10' ceilings, rich wainscoting, crown molding, and arched transitions that set an elegant tone. To the left, a fireside sitting room welcomes conversation; to the right, a formal dining room handles milestone dinners. A butler's pantry connects to the chef's kitchen - Sub-Zero refrigeration, double Thermador convection ovens, warming drawer, quartzite counters, Rev-A-Shelf organization, breakfast bar, and a cozy banquette - open to a gracious living room with gas fireplace and an all-season screened porch (with natural-gas connection) for effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs is a standout: a fireside primary suite with generous closets and a spa-caliber bath featuring travertine, a jetted soaking tub, dual vanities, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a private water closet; 2 additional en-suite bedrooms; plus a Jack-and-Jill bath and a smaller bedroom/office - ideal privacy when hosting, working, or recharging. A top-floor bonus with half bath flexes as studio, play space, or office. On the terrace level, a custom-designed wine cellar (vintage French riddling racks and EuroCave) sets the stage for tastings before movie nights in the theater. A serene bath, a multi-purpose transition room, and clever storage - including a hidden room - make this level as practical as it is indulgent. The attached three-car garage (epoxy floor, storage systems) opens directly into the home for genuine lock-and-leave convenience. Out back, the property lives like a private club: TimberTech/Azek composite decks, an under-deck kitchenette and lounge, low-maintenance turf, landscape lighting, and an oversized Swim Spa with powerful swim jets and spa seating. Sunrise coffee, game-day gatherings, twilight dinners - this is where memories multiply. A major advantage is the private-entry 1-bedroom apartment with full kitchen, laundry, fireplace and dedicated garage space - ideal for offsetting ownership costs, giving guests true independence, or creating a quiet studio. The apartment was recently renovated for a cherished family member resident and shows beautifully. Quality shows in the details and the done-for-you updates: 2 new HVAC systems (2021), 2 new water heaters (2021), a 2016 architectural roof, and a 2022 multi-level composite deck system - the big-ticket items are handled, so life here is about enjoyment, not punch lists. Beloved by its neighbors, this premier East Ave address is the place to be - porch-side conversations, a lively block culture, and seasonal street gatherings set the tone. Walkability is the headline: moments to the Eastside BeltLine, Historic Fourth Ward Park, Ponce City Market, Krog Street Market, caf s, dining, and everyday essentials, with Midtown and Downtown just mins by bike. Where front-porch hellos become long conversations, where holidays spill from the dining room to the porch and theater, and where life feels special - 574 East Ave is a place to live well, gather often, an
