Description

This is your opportunity to live in the heart of Candler Park. Steps to shops and restaurants yet feels tucked into a tree-lined residential street, this is the perfect mix. Built in 1910, this classic Craftsman bungalow has been carefully maintained, with stunning original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period craftsmanship details intact throughout. The screened front porch faces east, making it a natural spot for morning coffee as the sun rises. The living room is anchored by a painted brick fireplace with original built-in bookshelves flanking each side, opening directly into the dining room. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, generous counter space, and a window overlooking the garden - a view that greets you the moment you walk through the front door. Storage here is genuinely impressive: cabinets extend all the way to the ceiling, maximizing every inch of the space. Throughout the home, deep overhead storage has been built into the spaces above closets, the laundry area, and the hallway - a practical detail that significantly expands the home's livability. The spacious primary suite does not disappoint, with full bathroom with double sinks and renovated shower and French doors opening directly to the backyard patio. Across the hallway, filled with built in shelves, you will find the secondary bedroom, guest bathroom and additional storage space. The bonus studio overlooking the backyard is a unique feature of this home. With vaulted beadboard ceilings, built-in shelving, and windows on three sides, it functions beautifully as a studio, home office, or creative workspace. The backyard is a layered, established garden with mature Japanese maple, magnolia, hostas, ornamental grasses, and a gravel path winding through the plantings - private, shaded, and serene, it's a welcome surprise. Candler Park itself offers 55 acres of green space just steps away, including a public pool and nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, playground, and direct connection to Freedom Park's walking and biking trails. Candler Park Market, San Francisco Coffee, Gigi's, and Mary Lin Elementary are all a short stroll from the front door.
