Listing description

About this home

Welcome home to 1355 Amanda Cir: Your rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated brick ranch with bonus studio building in the backyard! Located in the sought-after Lavista Acres neighborhood, Amanda Cir is one of those streets that just feels special, and 1355 Amanda Cir is one of its gems. Fitted with all brand new windows, except for the original picture window at the front of the home, this home is filled with natural light.

Fall in love at first sight as you enter into the first living room, which is oversized and flooded with sunlight. Hardwood floors throughout the main rooms flow into the dining room that is waiting for your first dinner party. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances with a brand new Bosch dishwasher and GE gas range.

Under-cabinet lighting sets the tone, with room for a separate kitchen table or coffee bar space. The breakfast bar opens to the inviting second living room - options to spread out when hosting or where to place the TV for those game days at home! Down the hall, the first of the bedrooms offers 2 closets and a renovated bath with a walk-in tiled shower and brand new vanity for extra storage.

The second bedroom also offers 2 closets for ample space and storage. Back in the hallway, the original '50s charm shines through in this green-tiled, meticulously maintained second bathroom. Heading outside, the tour of this home is only half way through!

The patio is a private zen space just off the kitchen and second living room, allowing you yet another place to entertain or relax. A standout feature of this property is the detached studio building with a half bath and plumbing stubbed for a future full bath, offering endless possibilities as a home office, art studio, workshop, fitness space, storage unit, guest retreat, or future ADU. New HVAC has been installed in this building so it is ready for all-season use.

The possibilities are endless! Back outside, the professionally landscaped half-acre lot is truly stunning, with paths leading you throughout. Additional highlights include a separate garden shed, attached carport, a nearly new main-house HVAC system (2023), and a recent roof replacement (2022).

Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this one-of-a-kind property combines timeless charm, modern updates, and exceptional flexibility in an unbeatable location. Amanda Cir is just minutes from Toco Hills, Emory, CDC, CHOA, and all the shopping and dining conveniences of in-town Atlanta neighborhoods.

How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Median of these 6 sales: $655,000 ($318/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$530,448the mess$734,784

Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.

Actual list price: $700,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 39% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a 1953 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
  • The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
  • Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
  • Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • 0 active listings competing, 1 under contract
  • ≈4.0 months of supply
  • 3 closed here in the last 12 months

For reference, this home is listed at $700,000 ($339/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 1355 Amanda Circle, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1953 (73 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in DeKalb County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Listed living area is 2,064 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $7,350/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.
