A Rare Find in Capitol View Manor -Timeless Charm Meets Creative Character!!
This striking 4-sided brick beauty nestled on a tree-lined street in the heart of Capitol View Manor, one of Southwest Atlanta’s most historic and tight-knit communities. With rare features like a finished basement, detached garage, and an upstairs bonus level, this home offers something truly special for the buyer looking for style, space, and long-term value.
The exterior offers you a quintessential Tudor-Bungalow style home complete with screened in front porch. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by vintage character and warmth—from the original archways and trim to the hardwood floors that lead you through the main level’s flowing layout. The living room with its decorative fireplace flanked by arched accent walls and original unpainted wood baseboards and molding, connects seamlessly to the dining room, which opens into one of the most fun and unique kitchens in Atlanta. Retro yet fully functional, the kitchen is a true showpiece with preserved mid-century cabinetry built by the homeowner, original hardware, and playful green accents that feel straight out of a designer magazine. A sunny breakfast nook with wall to wall custom built in pantry storage cabinetry sits just off the rear, providing the perfect perch for morning coffee or afternoon work sessions. The main floor also offers a primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom with soaking tub and the cutest vintage vanity with 2 additional bedrooms and bathrooms perfect for family or guests. Upstairs, a tucked-away bonus level includes a bedroom and an expansive flex room with endless potential—home office, studio, media space, or cozy guest suite.

But the real surprise awaits in the basement—an unexpected, immersive experience that blends industrial vibes with creative design. Exposed brick walls, vintage mechanical fixtures, and moody lighting give the space an artistic, underground speakeasy feel. There’s even a one-of-a-kind hidden sleeping nook that feels like a stage set. The basement, with interior and exterior entrance, also includes a full kitchen, laundry area, and a full bathroom reminiscent of a ships below deck space, giving you the flexibility for multigenerational living, rental potential, or the ultimate creative studio.
A double-tiered deck overlooks the private backyard, and the detached garage offers valuable storage or workshop space.
Situated just 0.2 miles from the BeltLine, you’ll enjoy walkability to the Lee + White development, home to some of Atlanta’s top breweries, restaurants, a food hall, retail shops, and even a rock climbing gym. And with major growth on the horizon—including the revitalization of the West End Mall, MurphyCrossing’s mixed-use expansion, Atrium Health’s acquisition of The Met, and the newly announced Oakland City Exchange retail redevelopment—you’re not just buying a home, you’re investing in future equity.
Capitol View Manor is beloved for its community spirit, beautiful architecture, and unbeatable location. Neighbors host front porch hangouts, support local development, and take pride in preserving the historic charm that makes this neighborhood one of Atlanta’s best-kept secrets.
479 Shannon Drive SW isn’t just a home—it’s a conversation starter, a creative retreat, and an opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind space in a neighborhood on the rise with an established history and true community vibe.
