259 Sisson Avenue NE

Sophisticated Southern charm, with just a hint of colorful Coastal modernity. Geometric angles that play streamlined and symmetric, without forgetting to be a little playful. A western exposure on a quiet street in that part of Kirkwood that doesn’t know whether it’s in Oakhurst or Lake Claire, but is more than happy to bring a bottle of wine to a party in either. Walking distance to Saturday brunches at Sun In My Belly, followed by a romp in Oakhurst dog park. A lot of personality and polish went into making 259 Sisson Avenue what it is.Downstairs, the classic Southern front porch leads into the warm-wood and gem-tone common area, where gravity will inevitably draw guests toward a bright kitchen that has true Food Network angles. Flanking, a pair of dining areas that can host five-course affairs, or Thursday-morning bagels, respectively. A fireplace-equipped living room with a just-so layout; an enclosed sunroom overlooking the “right-sized” backyard; a ready-to-go home office space to casually host Zoom meetings to your heart’s content. Upstairs, a bit more intimate. Four bedrooms with closet space to spare. Two boast en suites, but the award goes to the primary bath, with a mile-deep garden tub you’re gonna spend way too much time in. Little touches, too — don’t you love it when the laundry room is on the same floor as the bedrooms? 259 Sisson Avenue is unique among its competitors. You could not get a better design for your long-term use. The friendly price is well under what you'd pay for brand-new construction, similar square footage within walking distance to Marta, and both Oakhurst and Kirkwood Village shops and restaurants.
