Originally built in 1948, this Lake Claire Craftsman has it all — a chef’s kitchen, dreamy screened in porch, lush multi level backyard, and a full terrace level suite, all wrapped in 1948 character with smart, modern updates throughout. Step inside and feel the warmth right away. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and sunlight pouring through every room create a welcoming vibe from the start. The open floor plan connects the bright front living room with a showstopper kitchen and cozy family room, where patio doors open to a peaceful screened-in porch framed by trees. Whether you are hosting a lively dinner party or sipping coffee in your pajamas, this home just works. The kitchen is a total standout with a stone island that seats four, walk-in pantry, open shelving, and upgraded stainless appliances including a five burner gas range and vent hood. The living room anchors the main level with a gorgeous fireplace, custom built-ins, and stained glass windows that add just the right touch of charm. Out back, the oversized screened-in porch feels like an outdoor living room. Just beyond that, a grilling deck and stone patio set the stage for casual summer gatherings or quiet nights under the stars. The landscaped backyard stretches into a private, tree filled sanctuary with stone steps, a dry creek bed, and a charming bridge that makes it feel like your own park. Also on the main level is a tucked away guest suite, perfect for hosting or a private work from home setup. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with treetop views, a massive custom walk-in closet, and a spa inspired bath with dual vanity sink and a glass enclosed tile shower with tile bench and dual shower heads. Another private suite offers space and flexibility for guests or growing families, while two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath nearby. The laundry room is thoughtfully placed near the bedrooms to keep everyday living easy. The finished terrace level opens up even more possibilities. With its own entrance, living and dining spaces, full bedroom and bath, and a kitchenette, it is ideal for an au pair, extended guests, or a home studio. There is even a private covered deck and lower patio to enjoy the peaceful views. Solar panels, Nest thermostats, and energy conscious upgrades keep things running efficiently. And the location is ideal, tucked on a quiet street in Lake Claire with easy access to Candler Park, top schools, neighborhood favorites like Flying Biscuit and La Fonda, and plenty of green space. Whether it is front porch chats with neighbors, movie nights by the fireplace, or dinner on the deck under the string lights, this home is made for connection, celebration, and a life well lived.
