A new home taking design cues from Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style has landed on the market just two blocks from East Lake Golf Club, with an asking price of $1,425,000. The five-bedroom proposed house, planned for 2856 Tupelo St. SE, would replace a former brick cottage on a one-third-acre lot and is slated for completion in spring 2027.
According to Urbanize Atlanta, the project by Nice Guys Homes came to market late last month, pitched with the tagline “Prairie Modern Elegance Meets East Lake Living.” The listing describes the house as a blend of timeless architectural character, modern luxury, and functionality, with the lot sitting west of Candler Road.
What's Inside the Proposed Build
The proposed home is listed at 3,569 square feet with five bedrooms. Urbanize Atlanta's report describes it as including five bathrooms, while the real-estate listing from Ansley Real Estate specifies four full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Either way, buyers would get a two-story foyer and 10-foot ceilings on the main level.
The kitchen is designed around a 15-foot island, and the mudroom includes a utility sink. The primary suite is planned with space for a coffee bar, and a screened rear porch comes with a wood-burning fireplace. The two-car garage is set to include an EV charger.
Lot History and Sale Price
Sellers described the lot as 200 feet deep and unusually level for inside-the-perimeter Atlanta, per the same account from the sellers. Sales records show the property last sold for $464,000 in September 2024 before the brick cottage made way for the new build. The listing is handled by Jon Huff and Randy Brazee of Keller Williams Realty Metro Atlanta.
The property carries a walk score of 41, classified as car-dependent, a transit score of 41 for some transit access, and a bike score of 43, making it somewhat bikeable, the report notes.
A Second Project Nearby
Just down the road, a separate development from Spencer-Love Homes would subdivide a 0.64-acre lot at Alston Drive and Oakridge Avenue into three separate homes. That lot has held a four-bedroom cottage since 1928, according to the same Urbanize Atlanta report, suggesting the East Lake area is seeing more than one teardown-and-rebuild project take shape near the golf course.
