Description

A treasured landmark in Candler Park, this remarkable 1912 residence is being offered for the first time in 33 years. Long admired by neighbors and passersby alike, it presents a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a home that has stood as a testament to timeless craftsmanship for more than a century. Commanding a prominent hilltop setting, the home's classic architecture and gracious wraparound porch create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, an oversized foyer and grand staircase welcome you into a home where historic character has been thoughtfully preserved. Original stained glass windows cast colorful light throughout the home, while beautifully crafted millwork, pocket doors, original light fixtures, and six working fireplaces showcase the exceptional artistry of the era. The traditional central hallway connects elegant living and dining rooms, the kitchen, laundry room, two main-level bedrooms, and a full bath, reflecting the home's classic floor plan. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious bonus room offer abundant space and flexibility while maintaining the home's authentic character. Lovingly cared for over the decades, the home has been updated where it matters, including a new roof in 2024 and durable cement siding that enhances longevity while complementing its historic appeal. Outside, the flat, fenced backyard offers plenty of room to relax, play, or entertain and connects to a shared alley driveway with the added convenience of a one-car garage rarely found in homes of this vintage. Historic homes with this level of architectural integrity, original detail, and provenance rarely come to market. Rich in character and craftsmanship, generous living space, and endless potential, this beloved Candler Park residence is ready to welcome its next chapter while honoring the legacy of its first century.
