424 Carter Avenue SE

Tucked into one of Atlanta’s most tightly knit communities, this charming 2 story Craftsman offers the best of both worlds: the privacy of a single-family residence and the connection of a true neighborhood. Residents here enjoy a central park and playground, dog-friendly greenspace, a community garden, and a peaceful wooded common space with walking trails. Regular happy hours at the gazebo and active neighborhood listservs—where you’ll find everything from contractor recommendations to requests for a stick of butter—are just a few aspects of Olmsted that offer a connected neighborhood experience.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by its current owner, this home was featured on last year’s East Lake Tour of Homes. Now, it’s ready for its next chapter—and just in time for you to stroll across the street to historic East Lake Golf Club for the PGA Tour Championship and join in the neighborhood celebrations honoring the area’s rich history.
Every space, both inside and out, is designed for entertaining and everyday comfort. The open living, dining, kitchen, and breakfast area flow seamlessly onto the inviting front porch and into a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance backyard that overlooks the community greenspace. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a jetted soaking tub, double vanity, and large custom closet. And the additional 3 upstairs bedrooms are perfect for family, guests, or home office.
Notable upgrades include: Hardwood floors throughout the main level and 4th bedroom, newer carpet in bedrooms for cozy comfort, Smart home features (light switches, thermostats, garage door opener), stylish light fixtures, newer fencing, and easy-care landscaping.
