Rare gem on a quiet dead-end street in North Buckhead, 490 Danube offers a compelling combination of
privacy, flexible living space, and a connection to nature, all within the sought-after Sarah Smith Elementary
district. Much larger than it appears from the street, this light-filled five-bedroom home unfolds across three
levels, offering a primary suite on the main, exceptional outdoor living, and a one-of-a-kind walk-out terrace
level.
Inside, newly refinished hardwood floors and abundant natural light set the tone. An oversized fireside living
room just off the entry provides a gracious place to gather and flows into the formal dining room. Beyond, a
flexible sunroom wrapped in three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows creates an inviting space for morning
coffee, a home office, or hosting Mah Jongg.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops and backsplash,
stainless KitchenAid appliances, JennAir gas range, and updated hardware. The kitchen opens to the
comfortable keeping room, creating an easy everyday gathering space with direct access to the
expansive rear deck and private backyard.
The main-level primary suite offers the ease of single-level living with its own private deck overlooking the
backyard. Its renovated marble bath features dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and separate water
closet. The conveniently located main-level laundry is just steps away.
Hardwood stairs lead up to three additional bedrooms with new carpet and built-in closet systems. One
features an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while the oversized bedroom offers a cozy reading nook and its
own walk-in closet. Two full baths with tubs, pristine marble floors and quartz countertops, along with walk-in
attic storage, complete the upper level.
One of the home’s best surprises awaits downstairs. The light-filled, walk-out terrace level has an unexpected
chic-loft character all its own, pairing original exposed concrete beams, brick accent walls, and painted
concrete floors with full-light French doors opening directly to the backyard. Complete with its own kitchen,
bedroom, and full bath with separate water closet, this remarkably flexible level is ideal for extended-stay
guests, a private home office, media and recreation space, or an au pair suite. A generous unfinished portion
provides abundant storage.
Outside, the property becomes a private sanctuary. The generous rear deck creates an inviting setting for
outdoor living and overlooks a mature backyard with fencing on three sides. Surrounded by established trees
and visited by deer, hummingbirds and owls, it is a remarkably peaceful setting for morning coffee, outdoor
dinners, play and entertaining—right in the heart of Buckhead.
Thoughtful recent improvements include newly refinished oak floors, kitchen and all bath updates, upgraded
lighting, EV charging, an expanded rear deck, and Zeon Zoysia sod in the flat front yard with irrigation.
Convenient to PATH400, Little Nancy Creek Park, Buckhead’s shopping and dining, and major thoroughfares,
490 Danube is the kind of home that reveals itself as you experience it: unexpectedly spacious, wonderfully
private, and designed with room to gather, retreat, entertain and evolve for years to come.
