Steps to coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and trails, as well as top rated Mary Lin Elementary -this Candler Park cottage puts you right in the heart of this highly desirable neighborhood. The home offers the character you're hoping for, paired with updates that make everyday living easy. Hardwood floors run throughout, natural light fills the space, and the layout provides opportunity for flexibility. The spacious living room features a fireplace with gas coal basket and opens to a side screened porch, an easy extension of the living space and a spot you'll find yourself using daily. A separate dining room is currently set up as a den, giving you an additional living area that can flex to your needs. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with custom cheerful cabinetry, light quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. It opens to an eat-in area framed by a wall of bay window overlooking the evergreen backyard. One of the standout features is the dedicated office, a rare additional space that allows you to work from home without sacrificing a bedroom. It's a meaningful advantage for buyers who need that separation but still need a true three bedrooms. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated in a period appropriate style. Well maintained and newer systems such as a heat pump installed in 2023, water heater in 2024, and a roof that was just professionally reviewed and refreshed with recommendations. Outdoor spaces are fantastic. A rear deck overlooks a flat, private, fenced yard with low-maintenance turf surrounded by mature landscaping that creates a quiet, tucked-away feel. The front yard has beautiful curb appeal made easier with an irrigation system for watering real grass. The side screened porch is its own mini retreat. Additional storage is available in the attic and crawlspace (larger than you'd think-don't miss it). Shared driveway takes you to a private parking pad for two cars. Homes like this - walkable, updated, and with a true home office in the heart of Candler Park - don't come along often.
