Single Family Residence in Atlanta
Welcome to The Dobbs, a rare and historic single-family residence opportunity in the heart of Old Fourth Ward offering over 3,700 square feet of living space. Once home to civil rights leader John Wesley Dobbs, this remarkable property blends history, character, and modern flexibility. Located just four blocks from the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail, the home is surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants, breweries, shopping, and entertainment. Even more unique, the property sits directly on the Freedom Trail Path with easy access to Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Downtown Atlanta.
Currently configured as a multi-family property, the home offers the option to remain as-is or be converted into a spacious single-family residence. The property is being sold fully furnished, allowing for immediate use or a seamless transition into a personalized single-family layout.
The Main Level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and updated kitchen and bathroom finishes, creating an open and inviting living environment. The Second Floor offers 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a flexible loft-style living area at the rear of the home, ideal for a media room, home office, guest suite, or additional living space.
Professionally designed and thoughtfully curated, the home offers impressive outdoor living spaces in both the front and rear yards, surrounded by lush, resort-style landscaping that creates a private urban retreat. The driveway is currently fenced but can easily be converted back to a standard driveway, providing parking for up to four vehicles. Additional easy street parking is available on both John Wesley and Howell Street.
This is a truly rare opportunity to own a historically significant property in one of Atlanta’s most sought-after neighborhoods, offering walkability, character, and long-term value in the heart of Old Fourth Ward.
