Tucked away in the heart of Candler Park, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath detached home offers an unexpectedly private setting just one block from Candler Park and the Freedom Park Trail. Occupying the end lot of an intimate five-home cluster, the home enjoys a secluded position away from the street along with a fully fenced backyard; ideal for pets, outdoor entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Inside, vaulted ceilings on both the main and upper levels create an impressive sense of volume, making the home feel remarkably open and spacious. The generous Great Room features a soaring vaulted ceiling and fireplace, complemented by a separate Dining Room and galley-style Kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking and recessed lighting. Hardwood floors extend throughout the main level, which also includes a full hall Bath with walk-in shower and a spacious Bedroom with sliding glass doors opening to the deck and a large walk-in closet with front-loading washer and dryer (included in the sale).

Windows are dressed with custom Bali blinds throughout the home. The fully fenced backyard offers a generous deck, good-sized yard and storage shed, creating a surprisingly private outdoor retreat. New custom gates installed in 2026 include a 15-foot double gate providing full access from the parking area, a discreet pedestrian gate and an additional 7-foot side gate.

Candler Park, located between Little Five Points and Decatur, is a historic and park-centric Atlanta neighborhood with a leafy street grid and a village-like commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around McLendon Avenue by Candler Park Drive, where patios, coffee counters, and low-key eateries line the sidewalk near the green. Craftsman bungalows and early-20th-century cottages set a warm architectural rhythm, with pocket gardens and front porches facing the street. The Flying Biscuit Cafe and La Fonda Latina act as familiar local anchors for casual meals. The Candler Park Golf Course and the Freedom Park PATH trail add daily outdoor cadence, while MARTA at Edgewood/Candler Park keeps the area connected.
