Your Guide to Moving, Living, and Thriving in Metro Atlanta

1020 Madison Avenue; Monroe, GA 30655

$300,000

Storybook charm meets a top-to-bottom modern renovation in this 1940 painted-brick Tudor cottage, ideally positioned less than a mile from historic downtown Monroe — the Antiques Capital of Georgia. Original hardwoods flow through a sun-drenched open-concept living and dining space crowned with exposed wood beams, shiplap accents, and a whitewashed brick fireplace beneath a reclaimed-wood mantel. The showstopping renovated kitchen pairs 1940s soul with 2026 polish: white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, classic subway tile, a deep farmhouse sink, matte black hardware, stainless appliances, and an induction cooktop set into the central island. Two well-proportioned bedrooms share a designer bath featuring double vessel sinks, shiplap walls, vintage filament sconces, and stunning patterned encaustic-tile flooring. A central HVAC system, tasteful updates, and statement lighting throughout make this one truly move-in ready. Out back, a deep, level, fully privacy-fenced .32-acre yard is shaded by a mature hardwood and includes a storage shed plus a covered metal carport (conveys) — strung with bistro lights and doubling as an open-air entertaining pavilion. Walk, bike, or golf-cart to Broad Street's antique shops and boutiques, the new Town Green and splash pad, First Friday concerts at the historic 1883 courthouse, and the legendary Monroe Christmas Parade. Roughly 45 minutes to Atlanta, 25 to Athens, and under an hour to Hartsfield-Jackson. Homes like this rarely come up on South Madison — don't wait.
