What Makes This Property Different
Atlanta has seen plenty of new construction duplexes. It has not seen this.
Each unit at 1112 and 1114 Kirkwood Avenue has its own address, its own private garage, and its own detached accessory dwelling unit above the carport. The ADU is a fully independent living space — not a bonus room, not a loft, not an afterthought. It has its own bedroom, full bathroom, kitchen, living room, walk-in closet, and wrap-around porch.
That means the owner of 1114 Kirkwood has a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath primary residence with a dedicated home office and 10-foot ceilings on the main level — plus a separate 1-bed/1-bath apartment that can generate rental income, house extended family, or serve as private guest quarters. Combined, that is approximately 2,275 square feet across 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
This configuration — duplex plus ADU plus garage, all new construction, all in a BeltLine neighborhood — is unprecedented in the Atlanta market.
Designed and Built by a Reynoldstown Neighbor
This home was not produced by a production builder. It was designed and built by Christopher Leerssen of Abode Architect Builder, a Georgia Tech-trained architect who has lived on Kirkwood Avenue for over 24 years.
Leerssen is a recipient of the 2017 City of Atlanta Urban Design Commission Award of Excellence for both Urban Infill and Sustainable Design. His previous Reynoldstown projects include Mattie Branch and RTown Lane, as well as the outdoor space at neighborhood coffee shop Con Leche. He is a former NPU chair and a current board member of the Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League.
His design philosophy is rooted in density, durability, and neighborhood context. As he describes it: “When you lead with a developer mindset, you lead with the bottom line. As architect-builders, we’re always thinking about the end user and their wellbeing first.”
Every material and system in this home — from the Icynene spray foam insulation to the staggered-stud firewall construction to the Pella Lifestyle windows — was selected by an architect who lives on the same street and builds above standard energy codes.

Community Within Your Own Property
The design of 1114 Kirkwood is intentional about creating connection — not just with the neighborhood, but within the property itself. The wrap-around porches on both the main residence and the ADU face the street, encouraging the kind of front-porch interaction that defines Reynoldstown’s character.
The ADU above the carport offers real flexibility. A homeowner could offset their mortgage with rental income from a fully independent one-bedroom apartment. A family could keep multiple generations close while maintaining privacy. A remote worker could use it as a detached studio with a full kitchen. The possibilities are shaped by the owner, not the builder — and that is by design.

This home was built to last — and to cost less to operate month after month.
