Your Guide to Moving, Living, and Thriving in Metro Atlanta

171 Broad Street; Fairburn, GA 30213

$358,500

Discover a rare blend of architectural character and modern dependability in this beautifully maintained cottage. Local lore whispers that it was built for a railroad engineer, and the home still offers a "commanding" sense of space and a level of quality that finally honors both your budget and your vision. The property provides the ultimate peace of mind for both experienced and first-time homebuyers: a brand-new HVAC system, a recently added primary suite, and a premium metal roof that stands as a high-value, lifelong investment. Inside, original hardwoods and elegant moldings meet a chef-inspired kitchen featuring stone countertops and shaker cabinetry, creating a sanctuary that feels both substantial and effortless. Life here follows a more intentional rhythm. Set in the heart of Fairburn's historic district, you are a sidewalk stroll away from the local heartbeat of Oz Pizza and downtown’s favorite home-cooking spots. While the proximity to the rail line serves as a soulful nod to the neighborhood’s industrious roots, your oversized backyard remains a private, star-lit retreat complete with mature pecan and fig trees. The location is perfectly positioned for accessibility: 15 minutes to the airport with the flexibility of multiple routes into Atlanta via backroads or interstate. With Landmark Christian Academy just three blocks away, you’ve discovered a spacious, character-rich home that connects you to an authentic heritage and the sense of place you’ve been looking for. This is time and money well spent.
