Welcome to 344 Mell Avenue — a pristine historic-style Craftsman just steps from the heart of Candler Park. Built in 1990, this home blends seamlessly with the surrounding early 1900s architecture while offering the advantages of modern construction and thoughtful updates throughout.
Period details such as stained glass windows, a classic clawfoot tub, and plantation shutters lend timeless charm, while recent enhancements make this home truly move-in ready. Over the past year, the property has seen extensive upgrades including new Andersen windows, new gutters with guards, fresh paint throughout, new premium stainless-steel kitchen appliances, brand new hardwoods upstairs (and refinished originals on the main level), and all-new decks.
The beautifully landscaped and fully fenced lot features a wrought iron fence in front and a wooden privacy fence in the rear. A long driveway accommodates at least four cars and leads to a detached garage. The inviting covered front porch is perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
Inside, soaring ten-foot ceilings on the main level and nine-foot ceilings upstairs create a spacious and airy feel. The formal living room, anchored by a gas fireplace with marble surround and custom built-in entertainment center, flows into a generous dining room ideal for entertaining. Beyond, the kitchen impresses with 19-foot vaulted ceilings, solid white cabinetry, slate tile flooring, a gas range, oversized fridge, dual basin sink, and an arched window that fills the space with natural light. A cozy breakfast area opens to the expansive rear deck and backyard.
Also on the main level is a spacious guest suite with walk-in closet and direct access to the deck, plus a full bathroom showcasing period charm with a clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, and classic tile flooring. A full-sized laundry closet includes front-loading Maytag washer and dryer.
Upstairs, the oak staircase is accented by a gorgeous stained-glass window and leads to a sunny landing—ideal for a reading nook or home office. The large primary suite overlooks the private backyard and offers direct access to an upper-level deck. The en suite bath features a spa-sized jetted tub, large walk-in shower, tumbled marble flooring, and abundant closet space. A third bedroom, currently used as a dual office, includes new high-density carpeting and custom cabinetry in both the bedroom and its generous walk-in closet.
Living in Candler Park means enjoying one of Atlanta’s most sought-after walkable neighborhoods. The recently renovated Candler Park playground, golf course, pool, tennis and basketball courts, as well as Candler Park Market are all just around the corner. Popular dining, retail, and entertainment options—including Krog Street Market—are easily accessible, and MARTA makes commuting a breeze.
