First look: Creekside project claiming empty land in ‘Upper Westside’ Josh Green Thu, 10/10/2024 - 09:33 Flaunting access to natural amenities, a variety of multi-use trials, and a growing number of restaurant and retail options, an infill project in Atlanta’s so-called “Upper Westside” is taking shape on formerly vacant land.

The six-building, 2269 Marietta Road development by Kinglett Homes is called Whetstone Cove for its proximity to adjacent Whetstone Creek. It’s situated in the Bolton neighborhood, just south of where Marietta Road meets Bolton Road.

According to listing agent Keith Sharp of Keller Williams Buckhead, two of the townhome venture’s eventual six buildings are standing now, with one of those finished.

Three townhomes have sold to date, and two more are available in current inventory, according to Sharp.

Construction on the second, five-unit Whetstone Cove building is nearly finished, with closings expected in December (three of those homes are without pending contracts now).

“We’re breaking ground on the next building in November,” Sharp relayed via email this week.

The project’s two floorplan options start at $650,000, for plans called the Tidwell and Adams.

That buys three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms across 2,200 square feet, with main living levels described as “massive” with attached balconies. (One Tidwell plan has four bedrooms, and the Adams offers an option for elevators, Sharp notes.)

Meanwhile, the larger Carlton floorplan (priced at $750,000) gets four bedrooms, three and ½ bathrooms, an optional elevator, and a 400-square-foot rooftop terrace, per Sharp.

According to sellers, perks of the location include walkability to The Champion restaurant, with Publix and Westside Village’s six dining options nearby, including new American eatery The Woodall.

Additional selling points include walkability to the Whetstone Creek Trail, with its connection to the Silver Comet Trail (under construction) and planned extension to the Atlanta Beltline, according to Sharp.
