679 Lawton Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310

Some homes simply exist in a neighborhood. This home defines it. Set proudly along one of Historic West End’s most iconic streets, this quintessential 1920s Craftsman makes an immediate impression; it’s substantial in scale, rich in character, and increasingly rare for the area. From the moment you step onto the deep, southern-charmer of the rocking-chair front porch, there’s a sense of permanence, history and warmth that’s hard to replicate today.Inside, the home unfolds with intention. 10 ft ceilings create breathing room as you enter the wide foyer, while original hardwood floors lead you through a layout that feels thoughtfully composed. Each room has a defined purpose, formal yet welcoming, comfortable without feeling compartmentalized. The spaces connect naturally, guiding you from one experience to the next while maintaining their individual identity. Bonuses on the first floor include, not only a formal living room anchored by an original fireplace with historic tilework and original mantle but a bonus den area that was used by the existing family as a movie/theatre room, but with flexibility to be a home office or bedroom (as it had historically been used by past owners). Not to forget to mention, is an additional downstairs bedroom with built-in desk area and ensuite bathroom perfect for guests. The dining room invites family dinners and gatherings while the adjacent spaces allow everyday life to move easily around it. The kitchen is the kind of space where life naturally gathers. With tons of cabinet space, including a wall full of pantry cabinets, and tons of countertop space, the kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. The layout is generous and thoughtful, and the substantial center island draws you in immediately while the farmhouse-style sink and gas range provide you with those desired little extras. The kitchen is design-forward, yet timeless and livable. The breakfast nook with its built-in bar area feels like a natural extension rather than an afterthought with windows that line the space, grounding it to the outdoors. It’s positioned perfectly off the kitchen, creating a softer, more relaxed zone for morning coffee, slow weekends, or casual meals that don’t require the formality of the dining room. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously sized, with a walk in closet and features an ensuite bath with a 7ft soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath complete with a jetted tub. Additional highlights include off-street parking, a tankless water heater, whole-house dehumidifier, and approved architectural plans for a third-floor build-out. Step outside and the experience expands even further. The extra large rear deck becomes an extension of the living space while the side dog area, complete with artificial turf and built in underground dog waste composter, ensures a space for your pet hasn’t been forgotten. And then there’s the detached studio in the backyard, an increasingly coveted feature that opens up endless possibilities. Use it as a wood working shop (as the current owners have used it), a creative studio, a home gym, a quiet office separate from the main house, guest space, or explore its potential as an ADU. Flexibility like this is rare, and it meaningfully enhances how this property lives. Beyond the home, the lifestyle is undeniable. Just 0.2 miles from the Atlanta BeltLine and steps from Lee + White, you’re surrounded by breweries, restaurants, retail, and a vibrant food hall. Ongoing investments in the area, including the revitalization of West End Mall, Murphy Crossing, Atrium Health’s transformation of The Met, and new retail planned at Oakland City Exchange, continues to fuel growth while preserving the soul of the neighborhood.This isn't just a beautiful home, it’s a rare combination of size, history, flexibility, and location and an opportunity to own something that continues to grow in value and connection to one of Atlanta’s most exciting neighborhoods.
