About this property

Buckhead Bungalow in Heart of Atlanta - S. Buckhead

1976 Northside Drive NW Atlanta, GA 30318 (near Collier Road)

NO PETS - Monthly Discounts. Located in the historic Buckhead area, known for luxury shopping, beautiful homes, and Southern charm, “The Lustron” is the most unique lodging in all of Atlanta. Part of a famous housing movement of the 1950s, every single piece of material is metal
The space
We are a local couple raised in Atlanta and this perfect location was our home for 8 years. With lots of TLC and loving care, we rehabbed this house from being a 'tear down' to a TREASURE! It has been featured in several national magazines because of its unique characteristics. It is totally made of metal. That is right....metal. It is called a "Lustron".

This home was built in 1949 so travelers need to understand what they are renting. A forgiving person who can ignore a little draft. And as a disclaimer this is on a busy road so there can be street traffic.
Other things to note
I was born here, went to college here, started a thriving business here, and found true love here. But I’ve been to many other cities and countries and believe, wholeheartedly, that I live in the best city in the world.

There’s just so much to do whether you love culture – museums, galleries, theater, music, nightclubs – or are drawn to more outdoor activities like hiking, biking, strolling through historic districts and/or checking out all the modern marvels. And it’s family friendly as well – zoos, children’s museums, and the Georgia Aquarium.

Totally one of a kind. We hang our photo with suction cups and magnets. This property is on the National Historic Register.

Unique Experience
We were looking forward to a unique experience in this retro landmark. We were challenged by the lack of heat when we needed it, the noise from the cars gunning their engines during the night and the outdated appliances as well as the temperamental toilet.

Great location, Unique property
This small bungalow with metal interior walls and ceiling, is an interesting historic oddity. Great fun to stay in. Perfect location providing easy access to Buckhead and midtown. Pro's: Interesting property. Very comfortable. Great location. Con's: AC window units a little loud, though they work just fine. Outside patio furniture had not been dusted, though inside was very clean.

Moving day
I was moving my daughter Atlanta and rented the house for 3 nights. It was amazing to see such unique architecture. The house was decorated from the 60’s and reminded me of growing up in that era. Sarah was great to work with. The house was comfortable and clean.

Comfortable House in the Middle of Everything
I enjoyed my brief stay in this little bungalow. It is an adorable kit house from the 1950's and the owner had done an excellent job keeping it in nice shape. Good bedding, good towels, good pillows. Only suggestion is that it was dark when I arrived and there were no motion detector lights. Thanks!

What makes this property unique

On the National Register of Historic Places, this one-of-a-kind all-metal house is situated in the southern-most part of Buckhead, one of the most expensive zip codes in Atlanta; but, because it is practically in Midtown, the area’s nicknamed “Bucktown.” In addition to having the convenience of a two-car garage, the backyard is cute, and the front porch affords great privacy.

A little backstory: over the course of eight wonderful years living here, we rehabbed this unique house from being a near “tear down” to a sparkling treasure that’s been featured in several national magazines. Given that it was originally built in 1949, be advised there may be the occasional draft. Also note it is on a busy street, so there can be traffic – but those are the only two downsides compared to innumerable upsides!
