Candler Park Huge Bungalow

This huge Craftsman bungalow in Candler Park has been meticulously maintained. It has updated HVAC, plumbing and electrical, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a freshly painted interior. It contains all the architectural features you would hope to find in this style home including hardwood floors throughout (including kitchen), 10' ceilings, crown molding and wainscoting, French doors, a beautiful glass entry with sidelights and THREE wood burning fireplaces.

What you don't expect to find in a home of this era is all the storage: kitchen pantry, walk-in closets or double reach-in closets in all the bedrooms, and a huge attic accessible via smoothly operating pull-down stairs. The attic has flooring for storage but you might decide to turn some of the storage area into finished space. The front of the attic has windows on three sides and would make a wonderful bonus room.

The other surprises are the large cement parking pad for two in the rear, how well the property drains, and how dry the crawl space housing the HVAC systems remains. The house is very energy efficient due to the newer heating & cooling systems, large attic fan and the storm windows over the original windows.

In addition to the three large bedrooms there are two bonus rooms. One would make a wonderful den, office, library or workroom. Across the hall is a large sunroom overlooking the deck. This room could be reconfigured as a sitting area for an enlarged master suite.

A good size elevated deck overlooks a spacious, level and private landscaped backyard.

The kitchen is huge and functional as it is or update to your dream kitchen. A deep fireplace opens from the kitchen to the dining room. The laundry area off the central hall contains a stackable washer/dryer that is included with the home but the space is large enough to hold side-by-side appliances with plenty of storage space too.

The home is within walking distance of the vibrant Little Five Points entertainment district (concert venues, clubs, restaurants and shops) and the newly constructed Moreland Retail District (Target, Kroger, Bed, Bath & Beyond and plenty of dining-spots to name a few). Stroll to Candler Park with its playgrounds, ball fields, swimming pool and public golf course.

This house has “great bones” and is in solid condition. It is very, very livable now. With some updating it could become a showplace.

Huge front porches are a hallmark of homes in this neighborhood. It’s easy to picture yourself in a rocker or porch swing, drinking iced tea and waving to a neighbor walking a dog or pushing a stroller along the quiet street.

Enter the home through a beautiful glass door with twin sidelights. The double hung windows provide lots of light but the storm windows over the original windows make the home very energy efficient.

Opposite the entry is working wood burning fireplace with marble facings and elegant wood trim.

French doors lead from the Living Room to the large Dining Room. Architectural accents include deep crown molding, wainscoting, and another working fireplace. This is a two-sided fireplace. The other side opens into the huge kitchen.

The bright and spacious kitchen has under counter lights, recessed lighting in soffits over the cabinets, and lots of storage and workspace.

Opposite the work areas in the Kitchen are a pantry, a working fireplace, and the entrance to the dining room. In the background you can see one of the French doors that separate the Living and Dining Rooms.

The Master Bedroom is towards the rear of the house and like the front rooms is rich in architectural detail.

This sunny room in the rear of the house could be used as a workroom or solarium or it could integrated with the adjoining master bedroom to become a sitting area for a fabulous enlarged master suite.

A large elevated deck with built in seating on two sides overlooks a spacious and private backyard.
