Description

Perched above a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Lake Claire, this quintessential craftsman blends timeless character with inspired updates and rare city privacy. Original stone steps and lush landscaping lead the way to a raised lot with peaceful treetop views that feel like your own private escape. The wide front porch is a vibe all on its own, perfect for slow mornings or relaxed evenings. Inside, original hardwood floors, vintage glass doorknobs, picture rail molding, and a beautifully preserved gas fireplace adds a sense of history and soul. The living room, featuring original stained glass, is cozy and grounded by built-ins, with an effortless flow into a formal dining space made for hosting. Just beyond, the bright kitchen, illuminated by a skylight, steals the spotlight with a dramatic arched brick wall and poured concrete countertops. It also boasts a chef-worthy Thermador range, hood, and double oven along with top-tier Miele appliances that make cooking a true pleasure. A sunny breakfast room tucked off to the side adds flexibility-ideal for casual bites, creative projects, or a tucked-away workspace. The primary suite brings the calm with a spacious Elfa-outfitted closet and a fully updated bath that pairs clean lines with timeless tile and a double vanity. The secondary bedroom is filled with natural light and built-ins for storage, paired with a second bath that nails the balance of vintage charm and modern ease. Out back, a stone patio is party ready with a big green egg, solo stove, suncast outdoor cabinet and table and chairs which sets the stage for garden dinners, lazy Sundays, and nights under the stars. The professionally designed landscape and turfed yard brings color and character year-round, with garden beds, a lovingly curated tea garden, and a dreamy "zen den" that doubles as a meditation space or creative retreat. A detached flexspace opens the door to even more possibilities-home gym, guest suite, studio, or private office. Rear alley access with off street parking for two makes daily life easy. The exterior wall that meets the alleyway hosts a community-outdoor chalk board. Steps to the neighborhood market, this home is central to many amenities, parks and trails such as Candler Park Pool & Golf Course, Olmsted Linear Park, Lake Claire Land Trust, Frazier Forest and the PATH trail which easily connects you to the BeltLine, Mary Lin Elementary and Howard Middle. This isn't just a home-it's a soulful, one-of-a-kind retreat with roots, personality, and a whole lot of heart.
