1277 Emerald AVE SE

Tucked away on a quiet street along the southern edge of East Atlanta, this spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bath craftsman offers a rare combination of flexibility, functionality, and location—with a true apartment-style terrace level and turnkey furnished setup that's increasingly hard to find in this area. Thoughtfully designed across three finished levels, the home features multiple living areas, two fully equipped kitchens, and a layout well-suited for a variety of living arrangements.
Level 1 (Terrace Level): Private-entry guest suite featuring a queen bedroom, full bathroom, living area, and a fully equipped kitchen with full size washer and dryer—creating a true apartment-style setup. The terrace level was fully renovated in 2024, enhancing both style and usability. This level also includes an oversized two-car garage with EV charger, a rare and valuable feature for intown living.
Level 2 (Main Level): The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Fully renovated in 2024, the space features a dramatic oversized quartz island with waterfall edges, extensive seating and prep space, and premium J&K cabinetry, a brand well regarded for its quality craftsmanship and construction. Custom shaker cabinetry extends to the ceiling for a clean, tailored look and maximum storage, while a full-height herringbone tile backsplash adds subtle texture and sophistication. A professional-grade stainless steel range with vent hood, under-cabinet lighting, and built-in beverage station with beverage refrigerator complete the space. The main level also includes open living and dining areas, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.
Level 3 (Upper Level): Two private primary suites, each with its own full bathroom, offering separation and comfort rarely found in homes of this size.
All bedrooms are well-proportioned with abundant closet space and a functional layout that adapts to a variety of needs. The home is being sold fully furnished, with furnishings intended to remain as part of the sale, creating a seamless, turnkey transition for the next owner.
Both the main home and the terrace-level apartment have been utilized as short and long-term rentals, offering flexibility for buyers considering primary residence, multi-generational living, or income-producing use. The separate entrance and second kitchen on the terrace level allow for independent use, while the furnished setup supports immediate occupancy or rental readiness.
The property is also equipped with a Vivint smart home security system, including perimeter cameras, interior motion sensors, and a central smart hub. Buyers can easily activate ongoing monitoring service if desired.
Recent improvements include a full exterior repaint in 2026 and a landscaping refresh in 2026, enhancing overall curb appeal.
Outdoor features include a private backyard with patio space, along with driveway and additional street parking. The setting offers a balance of privacy and accessibility, tucked away from through traffic while remaining close to neighborhood amenities.
