About this property

Porch Swing & Turret Dreams – 4BR in Kirkwood

Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bath Queen Anne home in the heart of Kirkwood—over 100 years old and filled with timeless character, yet thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be charmed by the expansive wrap-around front porch, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning, enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, or simply relaxing with a book while the neighborhood hums softly around you.

Inside, the home offers an abundance of space, including three separate living rooms—each with its own personality—so your group can gather together or spread out for quiet time. The soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main floor and skylit upstairs living areas make the home feel bright and airy.

For book lovers, the home is a dream: there are over 1,000 books in every genre imaginable—fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, children’s books, and more—ready for you to explore during your stay.

The chef’s kitchen is a perfect blend of classic style and modern amenities, with quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room—framed by tall pocket doors—offers a memorable setting for family meals or special dinners with friends.

Each of the four bedrooms is designed with comfort in mind, from the serene master suite with a spa-like bath to the welcoming guest rooms with cozy bedding. The fenced backyard, lined with fruit trees, provides a private outdoor escape, ideal for quiet mornings or late-afternoon lounging.

While the home is rich in history and full of original charm, it’s also equipped with all the modern conveniences you need—gig-speed internet, smart TVs, a monitored security system, and plenty of comfortable workspaces for those working remotely.

Nestled on a quiet street yet just a short walk to Pullman Yards, shops, restaurants, and MARTA, this home is the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and urban convenience.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harvey

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Michael! I’m a proud University of Georgia grad (Go Dawgs!!!) and also studied Finance and Accounting at the University of Virginia. After school, I moved to Atlanta and worked in finance for several years before discovering my true passion: hosting.

I started back in 2015 by renting out a spare bedroom, which quickly grew into remodeling a basement and eventually helping friends and family design their own vacation homes. What began as a side project turned into Host This Home in 2018, where I now get to focus full-time on creating comfortable, memorable spaces for travelers.

I also serve as Treasurer for the Atlanta Metro Short-Term Rental Association, where I work with other hosts to keep Atlanta’s short-term rental community strong and welcoming.

When you stay with me, my goal is simple: to make you feel right at home while enjoying everything our city has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We picked historic Kirkwood for its unbeatable mix of authenticity, charm, and accessibility. With tree-lined streets, classic homes, and a tight-knit community vibe, it feels like stepping back in time — yet you’re just a short drive or ride away from Atlanta’s major hubs and cultural hotspots. It’s a neighborhood that offers both peace and personality.

What makes this property unique

This is no ordinary stay — it’s a Queen Anne Victorian full of character, complete with turrets, a wraparound porch, and cozy architectural details. With 4 bedrooms, it’s perfect for groups or families who want space and style. Its features — like the porch swings under big shade trees and period accents blended with modern comforts — make it a destination in itself.
