Bungalow homes are a popular design in Atlanta neighborhoods and communities across the country.
The metro area boasts some gorgeous bungalows that are accented by architecturally interesting gables and eaves as well as front or back porches. Known for their cozy atmosphere, bungalows often have plenty of natural light and open flow from room to room. Older versions in the area are often renovated to include modern touches, like granite, steel appliances and farmhouse sinks, while still preserving the homes' unique historic character.

A renovation of this Old Fourth Ward bungalow was a labor of love that lasted over a year, adding modern touches and retaining and even uncovering original details. The home has a wraparound porch, high ceilings, French doors, exposed brick and original hardwoods. The master bedroom was renovated using a reclaimed wood wall and a door that was repurposed from another part of the house. When the kitchen was renovated, it uncovered an original chimney chase with a coal chute, and the update includes a wine bar area that was designed to keep this original feature intact.
