1071 STANDARD Drive NE Brookhaven GA 30319 MLS #7583809

You’re not the white-shaker-cabinets-and-grey-plank-floors type.
You’re the “walk to tacos and kombucha, come home to a backyard bonfire” type. You want a little bit of house, a little bit of land, and a whole lot of not sharing walls with strangers. You zig while others zig harder. You skipped the bidding wars and builder-grade townhomes with names like The Enclaves at Blandington Commons. Instead, you waited. You watched. You drank your overpriced latte and played the long game.
And now? Your moment just hit the market.
This sweet cottage in Brookhaven Heights isn’t flashy. It’s real. Solid. Chill. It’s nestled on a quiet, non-cut-through street where the dogs all have names and the neighbors nod hello. It’s officially Brookhaven, but you’re basically in Buckhead. You’re also 4 blocks to MARTA, less than a mile to the biggest off-leash dog park in Georgia, and within walking distance to not one, but FOUR dining/shopping hubs, including Brookhaven Village. That’s right—date night, brunch, groceries, and craft beer, all without moving your car.
Inside: 3 legit bedrooms, 2 full baths (yes, one’s ensuite and a 1/2 downstairs), fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, new roof, and just enough updates to keep things comfy without killing the charm. The living room has a gas fireplace, and the 10×30 screened porch is where you’ll live most of the year—morning coffee in your bathrobe, wine, naps, repeat. The flat, fenced backyard with view of trees? Dog-approved. Friend-approved. Solo-stargazing-on-a-Tuesday-approved.
Bonus: it’s been a killer mid-term rental for the film industry, which means income potential if you’re feeling entrepreneurial. And yes, the taxes look high—but that’s just because it’s been small investor-owned. Claim it as your own and file that homestead exemption like the savvy homeowner you are.
No HOA. No one upstairs thumping around at 2 a.m. No monthly emails about trash can etiquette. Just your life, your space, your time. While your friends are paying monthly condo fees, you!ve saved enough to go to Nepal.
Because it’s not about having more.
It’s about having what’s yours.
