1005 Mclynn Avenue NE

Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to live in. This one does both - with grace, light, and historic charm.
This classic Morningside Tudor combines original vintage character with a fresh, modern sensibility. Perfectly placed on one of the neighborhood’s most beloved streets, this sun-drenched, character-filled home blends timeless architecture with smart, stylish updates throughout. Originally designed by Lelia Ross Wilburn – Atlanta’s first female architect – its thoughtful layout, rich detailing, and beautiful proportions still shine, now paired with a long list of functional upgrades that make everyday living feel easy.
A deep, breezy front porch sets the tone, complete with multiple seating areas for those summer nights and neighborly conversations. Inside, the main level opens with a formal living room and picture molding details that whisper back to the home’s heritage. A cozy sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows makes the perfect reading nook or creative corner, while a separate dining room and light-filled breakfast nook offer space for both everyday meals and full-on dinner parties.
The heart of the home is a large, open living space at the back, where French doors open to a walkout backyard, ideal for outdoor hangs, easy hosting, or simply enjoying some sunshine. Also on the main level is a private guest suite with a fireplace and full bath, ideal for visiting family, live-in assistance, or that home office that finally gets some dignity.
Upstairs, the landing opens to a flexible lounge space – think reading area or a cozy second den. The primary suite is a true retreat, with natural light, beautiful views, a spacious walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath complete with a cast iron soaking tub, dual vanities and a separate shower. Two generously sized secondary bedrooms each feature large closets and share access to a sunny bonus room that works hard for whatever you need. A dual-sink hall bath adds function and shareability, and in its own private space windows make even laundry feel luxurious.
This is the kind of home that evolves with your life—offering character, comfort, and the kind of layout that just works. And with its location in the heart of Morningside, you’re just moments from parks, shops, restaurants, and everything that makes this neighborhood one of Atlanta’s most beloved.
