This classic 1930s Cape Cod radiates timeless charm. The property offers a peaceful, almost country feel while still being just a skip from the PATH, minutes to Avondale Estates and Decatur City, and an easy walk to everything in Clarkston. Inside, original gleaming hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and vintage details set the tone. The inviting family room centers on a warm wood burning stove, creating a cozy gathering space. The kitchen blends period character with thoughtful updates, including new butcher block countertops and direct access to the enclosed back porch — once used as a pickling station and storage, a delightful nod to the home’s ancestry. A spacious dining room with breakfast bar opens to the kitchen, offering an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Modern comforts such as central heat and air and newer insulated windows enhance efficiency without compromising the home’s historic appeal. The bathrooms remain original, while showcasing a mid century contemporary edge that harmonizes oddly with the home’s heritage. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature new LVP flooring and a separate private entrance, ideal for a roommate setup, multigenerational living, or Airbnb potential. A tall, expansive basement provides incredible flexibility — perfect for a workshop, studio, or future finished space to add valuable square footage. A rare blend of character, history, and tons of opportunity so close to Emory/CDC/ and 285!
