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), 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, cafes, dining, and everyday essentials with Midtown and Downtown just minutes 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 NE is a place to live well gather often and make memories that last.
