From porch-swing afternoons to backyard dinners and everyday walks to the park, this warm and inviting Candler Park Craftsman is a home that's move-in ready for you to start enjoying the convenience that this sought after in-town neighborhood offers. Set on an extraordinary lot in the heart of Candler Park, this beautifully renovated and natural light-filled Craftsman bungalow pairs timeless character with thoughtful, high-function upgrades-inside and out. At the center of the home is a truly exceptional open kitchen: custom inset cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, brick backsplash, double ovens, gas range, generous prep and storage space, counter seating, and a large sink overlooking the yard. This kitchen flows naturally into the main living spaces, making it the true heart of the home for everyday living and easy entertaining. Classic Craftsman details shine throughout, including 10-foot ceilings, original pine floors, a brick fireplace, pocket doors, wall paneling, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and updated fixtures. Large bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, with the primary suite featuring a customized walk-in closet. Storage is a standout feature-rarely found at this level in historic homes. In addition to closets in every bedroom, the home offers a spacious, waterproofed encapsulated basement with concrete floors, lighting, electricity, French drain system, Aquaguard internal trench, and sump pump; a well-maintained attic with flooring suitable for additional storage; and a flexible mudroom perfect for laundry, storage, or a home office setup. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. The professionally landscaped yard (2023) includes new underground drainage and dry wells designed to handle heavy rainfall, while preserving a serene, usable layout. Enjoy an elevated deck, a large river-stone patio, in-ground trampoline, expansive side yards, and a fenced front yard-ideal for play, privacy, and natural light from all sides. The front porch is perfectly positioned for afternoon sun and neighborhood watching from the porch swing. Location is everything, and Mansfield delivers. Just steps from Freedom Park Trail with a direct bike connection to the BeltLine and Midtown, and an easy walk to Little Five Points, the renovated Candler Park Playground and market area, Inman Park Village, Poncey-Highland, and Ponce City Market. Daily errands, dining, coffee, schools, and parks are all within a half-mile, including top-rated Mary Lin Elementary and beloved local preschools. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated: new HVAC (2021), tankless water heater, sewer line and main basement line replaced with PVC, and a shared driveway with a formal easement providing two-car parking and an area for bikes. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-rich Craftsman with modern infrastructure, exceptional storage, and one of the most usable yards in Candler Park.
