Welcome home to the quintessential Candler Park lifestyle! Before entering this happy historic home, pause on the front steps to listen to birdsong and enjoy the shade of over-story trees. Step inside a light-filled living room with sight lines through the dining room into the kitchen. The sunroom off the living room flexes as an office or playroom. Right outside the updated kitchen with built-in banquette is a sprawling private deck surrounded by trees. Two secondary bedrooms and a tastefully updated bathroom complete the first floor. Retreat upstairs to a primary suite designed to feel like you are sleeping in the treetops. A sitting area plus window seat, a recently updated bathroom, and walk-in closet combine to create a serene sanctuary. With a yard large enough for vegetable gardens and chickens, a private deck with seating and dining areas, and a basement with a massive granite fireplace, tall ceilings, and space for storage or a workshop, this home lives larger than its square footage. Hardwoods throughout, historic features, and abundant light make this home is easy to love, but it’s the unseen benefits that will set your mind at ease: a newer roof and kitchen appliances and a new HVAC system. Enjoy a short walk to Mary Lin Elementary, Freedom Park Trail, shops and restaurants, Candler Park, the golf course, tennis courts, a playground, MARTA, the Freedom Farmers Market, and the Beltline.
