626 Elmwood Drive NE

Perched above the best street in Virginia-Highland, this beautifully updated 1920s bungalow blending timeless historic charm with modern comfort. A classic rocking-chair front porch with views to the south welcomes you into a warm, light-filled interior with original hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, built-in cabinetry and a cozy fireplace. The separate dining room with oversized windows, designer lighting has room for eight to dine. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with ceiling-height shaker cabinets, quartz waterfall entertaining island, professional Jenn-Air appliances, porcelain farmhouse sink, and a dry bar that opens to an inviting covered outdoor living space with gas fireplace and bluestone patio.
The spacious primary suite includes a spa-like bath with soaking tub and a divided walk-in closet. Two additional rooms offer flexible options for guests or offices. The fenced turfed backyard is private and low-maintenance, with extra storage in the basement and the “shed” (under the front porch). A full-height attic with permanent stairs offers exciting potential for future expansion. Just steps from Piedmont Park, the BeltLine, and all the shops and restaurants of Virginia-Highland and Midtown, this home is the perfect blend of character and convenience.
