With Summer Shade Festival (and the resurrection of Atlanta festival season in general) on the horizon, it seemed an opportune time to swing down to Grant Park for a closer look at a unique infill project for a historic neighborhood known for Victorian manses and stately Craftsman bungalows.
Perched over Boulevard, a duplex inspired by Scandinavian modernism was recently completed and listed between the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor and Zoo Atlanta. (The property is 250 feet from the Beltline, per earlier land listings.)
The 1010 Boulevard project replaces a small cottage that was outside of Grant Park’s historic district and therefore not considered a contributing structure, according to listing agent Shane Little of Avenue Realty.
Both five-bedroom, four-bathroom units are accessed by alley (note the steep Boulevard hill in front), and each counts just shy of 2,500 square feet, with two-car garages that are EV-charger ready.

The duplex was drawn up by Adam Stillman Residential Design and built by local homebuilder Grit City, which counts home projects in several intown neighborhoods, including a trio of similarly Scandinavian-leaning offerings in Pittsburgh.
Unit B came on the market about 20 days ago asking $899,900, where it remains. Little said Unit A will ask a similar price once it lists.

Perks include white oak flooring throughout, 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, Thermador appliances including an induction range, Cambria quartz countertops, a wine cooler in the pantry, and a small fenced-in yard area.
The .2-acre parcel sold for $350,000 in 2023, records show.
The 1.2-mile Beltline section between Boulevard and Glenwood Avenue just south of the duplex has been pouring concrete and completing bridgework in recent weeks in hopes of opening this fall, according to Atlanta Beltline Inc. officials.
