943 Highland Terrace

A 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath single family residence in Atlanta.

Tucked away on one of Virginia-Highland’s most charming streets, this storybook cottage feels like something out of a movie — warm, inviting, beautifully curated, and effortlessly livable. Just steps from the neighborhood’s beloved shops, restaurants, coffee spots, and parks, this home offers the kind of walkable in-town lifestyle people dream about, all while feeling peaceful and tucked away from the bustle.

From the moment you step into the welcoming foyer, the details immediately set the tone. To the right, an updated powder room wrapped in designer wallpaper and anchored by a stunning marble vanity offers the perfect first impression. Beyond, soaring 10-foot ceilings, gorgeous thoughtfully selected light fixtures, and an airy flow create a home that feels both elevated and comfortable.

At the front of the home, a formal sitting room — equally perfect as a dining room, music room, or cozy lounge — is filled with natural light and charm. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home and has been completely transformed with custom hidden appliances, sleek Miele appliances, a wine fridge, oversized quartz island, adorable built-in banquette, and striking iron window detailing that peers into the dramatic two-story living room beyond.

The living room is nothing short of spectacular, with towering ceilings, a fireplace centerpiece, and walls of windows overlooking the screened porch and backyard. It’s the kind of space that effortlessly hosts everything from cozy movie nights to lively gatherings with friends. Outside, the backyard is a rare intown retreat featuring a huge grassy play area, sport court, and multiple spaces to relax and entertain.

The primary suite on the main level feels like a private sanctuary with a beautifully updated spa-like bath featuring double vanities, soaking tub, oversized shower, and an incredible custom walk-in closet with built-ins for absolutely everything.

Upstairs, two charming secondary bedrooms are connected by the sweetest flex space — perfect for a reading nook, playroom, homework station, or cozy study area. Downstairs, the daylight basement adds an entirely new level of living with two additional bedrooms, both with ensuite baths, a wine cellar, large secondary living space, and walk-out covered deck.

Zoned for highly sought-after Virginia-Highland Elementary and nestled in one of Atlanta’s most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers unbeatable proximity to Piedmont Park, the shops and restaurants of Virginia Highland and Morningside, the BeltLine, and some of the city’s best schools, parks, and attractions — all while offering the warmth and charm of a true neighborhood feel.

Complete with a parking pad and every thoughtfully curated detail already in place, this is the kind of home that rarely comes along — equal parts charming cottage, sophisticated entertainer’s dream, and forever home in the heart of the city.
