1007 S Candler St, Decatur, GA, 30030

Nestled between the Winnona Park and College Heights neighborhoods in the City of Decatur is a gorgeously renovated 1938 home featuring a light-filled open floor plan. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as a lower level with a garage, partially unfinished basement, and an in-law cottage suite (accessible from exterior or interior) with separate kitchen, bathroom, and living space, this home simply has it all. The original brick exterior, now painted a clean, modern white, is contrasted by the new black architectural shingle roof and nods to the historic charm that was not lost in this meticulous renovation. Historical details like original crystal doorknobs, a kitchen window seat, and the original hardwood floors were all preserved and stand timeless against the gleaming Calcutta marble waterfall island, new white cabinetry, and an impressive 36" gas range and hood with matching stainless appliances. The kitchen looks out into the family room where the original fireplace was also preserved. A separate light-drenched dining room is open to the family room and visible to the kitchen. The original floors were also preserved in all four of the spacious bedrooms. The hallway full bathroom is both modern and clean, yet with subtle design choices congruent with the original age of the home, such as subway tile and an attached sink. Laundry has been added to the hallway to make for seamless one-story living, and the primary suite is located at the back of the home with views of the large backyard. The primary ensuite bath is both clean and elegant with subway and hexagon tiling. Just up a flight of permanent stairs in hallway is a 368-sf attic which is listed on tax records as being "finishable space." The possibilities for the attic space are endless! The mix of modern amenities and historic charm do not stop on the main floor, however. Just down a flight of steps, you can access the garage and unfinished basement as well as an entire 612-sf in-law suite that also has its own exterior entrance. The granite back wall of the cottage has a built-in fireplace, and a Murphy bed is on the opposite wall to give the occupant the option of having more living space when not sleeping. A fully renovated bathroom is in this in-law cottage, as well as a small kitchenette with sink, fridge, and range. Use this lower level in-law cottage for a parent, an au pair suite someone attending a local university, or even a short term dwelling/accessory unit to generate income. This house will be anything and everything you need it to be. Though you are just minutes from downtown City of Decatur, Oakhurst Village, Agnes Scott College, and all that Decatur has to offer, you may find that you want to spent most of your time in the large .3 acre yard or relaxing on the back patio.
