Every single inch of this 1940s Cape Cod has been rebuilt. Helical piers reinforced the structure. A full second story was added. New electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, windows, doors, water heater, and crawl space encapsulation - the systems are all new. But the historical details stayed: the original terracotta tile, the fireplace surround, the bones of a house worth keeping. This is not a cookie-cutter renovation. It is a full reinvention. ? 65 Roseclair is one block from the 2nd + Hosea corridor and quiet enough that you'd never know it. PERC Coffee, Poor Hendrix, La Fonda Latina, and Gene's are all 0.25 miles away. Oakhurst Market and Scout in Oakhurst Village are under 0.7 miles. East Lake Golf Club, home of the PGA TOUR Championship, and East Lake Park are both under 1 mile. ? The main level opens to a living room with hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace flanked by a built-in bookshelf - a deliberate nod to the original house. A flex room off the side holds original terracotta tile, crown molding, and large windows with tree-canopy views, currently configured as an office. Two bedrooms and an ocean-inspired cobalt-tile full hall bath complete the main level. The renovated kitchen has dove-gray shaker cabinets, quartz countertops and backsplash, a gas range under a custom-painted hood, stainless steel appliances, and a 3-seat peninsula bar open to the dining room. ? The extended deck fits a grill and a full outdoor dining setup and steps down to a private flat backyard with mature tree canopy on all sides, backing to a city-maintained green space. ? Upstairs, the layout is organized for privacy: primary suite, a second bedroom with its own en-suite bath, and laundry - all grouped together, no trips downstairs. The primary suite has hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and rear tree views. Its bath features a double fluted wood vanity, dual arched mirrors, brass wall sconces, a vaulted ceiling, and a walk-in shower in floor-to-ceiling vertical pearl/gray tile with a marble mosaic floor and a transom window at shower height. The second en-suite has floor-to-ceiling tile, soaking tub, and gold brass fixtures throughout. ? DeKalb County taxes. City of Atlanta address. Oakhurst energy without the Decatur tax bill.

Seller offering up to $10,000 in Seller concessions at closing with an acceptable offer, opening the door to your next chapter. This house has stories to tell. Steeped in rich East Lake history, neighborhood lore whispers that this enchanting 1930s cottage was once home to one of Atlanta's female political trailblazers-providing a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. Perched beautifully on an oversized lot with plenty of elbow room, walking distance to Oakhurst Village, and loaded with surprises, the cottage immediately charms with a stunning front perennial garden, new roof, and an iconic front granite chimney said to have been built using field stones sourced directly from the surrounding neighborhood. Step inside and the story continues through sun-drenched rooms, tall ceilings, original fixtures, and door hardware that have quietly witnessed life for nearly a century. The recently refinished hardwood floors gleam. A large living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace beneath a skylight, accented by loads of windows and direct access to a rear screened porch. A classic arched doorway welcomes you into a seamless eat-in kitchen where custom cabinets, upgraded SS appliances, quartz countertops, and an original built-in hutch hold echoes of decades of family meals and still houses the original punch bowl passed down from steward to steward. Down the hall, two main-level bedrooms offer easy living including one featuring a wall of built-in bookcases and stained glass inserts alongside a main-level bathroom featuring custom wood trim, built-in shelving, custom tile, and a handmade vanity. Upstairs, two true bedrooms and another full bath give everyone room to breathe or room to grow. The primary bedroom features double closets and built-in shelving. The vintage-inspired upper bath beautifully showcases classic bead board, double pedestal sinks, and ample storage, while the fourth bedroom offers a generous closet and attic storage. The second-story windows have been recently replaced, the entire home is freshly painted inside and out, & the NEW ROOF was installed in OCT 2026. This wonderful home sits on a gorgeous, deep lot complete with a private fenced-in backyard, a private back perennial garden, a storage shed, and an uncovered patio that flows directly into the cozy covered patio space designed for entertaining. A charming walking path winds gracefully through the yard, highlighting the deep lot's ample space if you want to expand the footprint in the future. Highly desirable as a Tier 1 Drew Charter School and positioned just minutes from the historic East Lake Golf Club and the East Lake Family YMCA, this location puts you within walking, biking, or a short driving distance from Oakhurst Village, 2nd+Hosea, Kirkwood, East Atlanta Village, and City of Decatur.
