One feature attracting attention is the addition of separate living areas, like in-law suites or rentable lofts, which can provide both convenience and potential income. This trend is especially noticeable in vibrant urban areas like Virginia-Highland, where proximity to cultural hubs and outdoor spaces adds extra appeal.

Being steps from Piedmont Park means having easy access to year-round events, festivals, and outdoor activities, making this location highly desirable for renters looking to enjoy all the city has to offer. The Virginia-Highland and Midtown area are known for their walkability, trendy shops, restaurants, and the Beltline, offering a lifestyle that blends city living with recreational opportunities.
A standout example of this is a charming 1920s brick home located just across the street from Piedmont Park. A highlight of the home is the 540-square-foot loft-style apartment, functioning as a self-sufficient fourth bedroom. With its own private entrance, the space is fully equipped for independent living, featuring a custom-tiled shower bath, a kitchen area, washer and dryer, and a living area with a bed space and walk-in closet. This versatile space is ideal for accommodating in-laws or au pairs, but it also opens the door for potential rental income. In a city where short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo are popular, this apartment could easily serve as a sought-after spot for visitors wanting to be close to Atlanta’s best attractions.
Thoughtfully designed for versatility, the primary residence’s layout easily accommodates different needs, including a roommate setup. Flexibility is further enhanced on the main level, where the owner’s suite provides convenient single-level living. Downstairs, an adaptable room can serve as an exercise studio, home office, or playroom. Outside, designated space for dining and entertaining includes a grill, TV, and a turf area perfect for pets or play. The property offers five parking spaces, including a spacious rear area and a one-car garage, providing convenient and versatile options for families or guests. A greenhouse and chicken coop add to the homes’ unique character, making it both functional and distinctive for urban living.
As more buyers search for homes that offer flexibility, the demand for properties with separate living spaces continues to rise. Whether used for multigenerational living or as an income-generating rental, homes like this are perfectly positioned to meet the needs of today’s buyers.
