Ormewood Park is just east of downtown Atlanta and is among the most historically intact of the 45 neighborhoods surrounding the Atlanta BeltLine, according to historian Brandy Morrison. Ormewood Park contains plenty of green spaces, as indicated by its name; is home to the Robert Burns Cottage, which dates back to the 1920s and is a replica of the internationally acclaimed Scottish poet’s birth home; and it is bordered by the Atlanta BeltLine to the west, Moreland Avenue to the east, Faith Avenue to the north and East Confederate Avenue to the south. Home styles include Victorian cottages, bungalows, traditionals and ranches.

A cozy three-bedroom, three-bath, two-story bungalow recently listed at $324,000 has proximity to Zoo Atlanta, Grant Park and East Atlanta; hardwood floors; a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a built-in microwave and a gas range; transoms; fanlights; chair rail; and a master bath with a double vanity, jetted tub and separate, glass-block shower. An updated three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow on Warwick Street has a front deck; a living room with hardwood flooring, crown molding and a fireplace; a dining room with a stained-glass window; and a kitchen with a breakfast area, white cabinets and tile on the floor and countertops.

The home is within walking distance of Glenwood Park, which is a much-publicized, green, new urbanist community by Green Street Properties and Charles Brewer (the founder of Mindspring, which is now part of Earthlink). Glenwood Park includes such businesses as Vickery’s, Drip Coffee Shop, Matador Mexican Cantina, The Smoothie Studio, The Shed at Glenwood, The Music Class, The Body Well and Gunshow by Kevin Gillespie, a new fine dining concept.
