Start with the walk across the street to the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail — this is a house for people who prize proximity to city life without giving up a backyard. 801 Wylie Street SE is a one-story, 1,500 SF bungalow built in 1920 and updated for everyday modern living: original hardwood floors run through most rooms, the kitchen and both bathrooms have been remodeled, and the HVAC system has been refreshed to reduce near-term maintenance needs.
The plan is comfortable and clearly residential in scale. A living room with a working fireplace anchors the front of the house while three bedrooms and two renovated baths occupy the quieter rear. Practical details are intact — forced-air gas heating, central A/C, asphalt shingle roof (age to be confirmed), and a level lot with roughly 50 feet of frontage. The driveway fits two vehicles; there is no detached garage. Inside, the updates feel respectful of the home’s era rather than overwrought: preserved wood floors and tasteful modern finishes in the kitchen and baths.
Outside, the 0.16-acre lot (≈6,970 SF) is surprisingly generous for Reynoldstown and offers a private backyard that could support expanded outdoor living or an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) under current R-5 zoning. Keep in mind the property sits in a historic overlay, so exterior changes may require HDRC review. The owners purchased in 2015 and completed key renovations since then — those investments, combined with the home’s location, explain why local comparables point to a current market between $450k–$500k (midpoint estimate $475,000).
Location is the defining amenity: 0.2 miles to the BeltLine Eastside Trail, 0.5 miles to Krog Street Market, and a short walk to Inman Park and Edgewood’s shops and restaurants. Reynoldstown’s median home values climbed about 35% from 2020–2025, and single-family bungalows here regularly receive multiple offers; average days on market in the neighborhood are roughly 30 days. This property presents an appealing blend of historic character, recent interior updates, a sizable lot, and direct access to Atlanta’s most active pedestrian corridor. Recommended next steps: confirm historic overlay conditions, verify roof condition and permits for past renovations, and complete a professional inspection.
