There's a certain kind of property that immediately feels like home; one that has been lived in and loved and not an average investor renovation. This 1920s 4 sided brick craftsman style bungalow is exactly that kind of place. Full of original character. Filled with personality. And set in Historic West End, one of Atlanta's most exciting, fastest-growing corridors that is Beltline adjacent. Step onto the front porch and you feel it right away. The brick columns, the classic windows, the swing, everything hints at craftsmanship you can't recreate today. Inside, the living room opens with the kind of charm that makes you slow down for a moment. Original hardwood floors stretch across the space, a painted brick fireplace anchors the room, and a built-in bookshelf and window seat frame the hearth in a way that only historic homes can. Light moves across the detailed trim work and original window casings, highlighting every bit of the home's preserved character. The floorplan is perfectly semi-open, connecting the living room, dining and kitchen space while still giving each room its own identity. The dining room is warm, inviting, and framed by original millwork; it's an easy space to imagine gathering with friends or family after a BeltLine stroll or lingering over dinners. Just beyond this point, the kitchen strikes the right balance of old and new, with updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, pendant lighting, and a backsplash that adds depth and sophistication while still allowing the home's original personality to shine. Down the hall, three bedrooms are positioned with a sense of separation from the social spaces, creating a calm wing of the home where everyone has their own corner and privacy comes naturally. The primary bedroom of course includes an ensuite bathroom and plenty of closet space while the hall bathroom brings unexpected personality with its bold statement wallpaper, adding a fun and memorable moment in the center of the home. What truly sets this property apart is the bonus living space below which is rare for historic bungalows in this area. The finished basement expands the home's livability in a way you don't often find in West End, offering a second gathering area for movie nights, game days, creative work, or hosting guests, with additional storage rooms tucked conveniently nearby. The backyard offers depth and potential for future outdoor ideas. With a shed, a pergola already in place and terraced areas ready for gardening, fire pits, play zones, or landscaping projects, it's a space that can evolve with you over time. And then there's the location, one of the most exciting parts of living here. You're just a short stroll to the BeltLine and the energy of Lee + White, home to breweries, restaurants, retail, a food hall, and community gathering spaces. Future growth in the neighborhood continues to build confidence and long-term value, with the upcoming revitalization of West End Mall, Atrium Health's purchase of The MET, and the newly announced development at Oakland City Exchange, which will introduce additional retail and commercial spaces and the future potential of the transformation of Murphy Crossing. Together, these projects position the area for steady appreciation and an even more dynamic lifestyle. 442 Hopkins is a rare home with architectural soul, modern updates, bonus living space, and walkability to everything shaping the future of Historic West End. It feels warm, memorable, and ready for its next chapter.
