Nestled in the heart of Avondale Estates, where tree-lined streets invite evening strolls and neighbors still wave from front porches, 88 Clarendon Avenue feels like a little slice of classic Southern living. This charming four-sided brick ranch welcomes you with its nostalgic open porch overlooking a lush front yard, the perfect perch for morning coffee or an end-of-the-day hello. A mini orchard of apple, pear, peach and nectarine trees, grape vines, plus a large fig, adds to the charm.
Inside, freshly refinished hardwood floors set the tone for a home that feels both spacious and cozy. The front living room, with fireplace and built-in bookshelves, is made for settling in, while the adjoining open living space gives everyone room to spread out while staying connected.
The kitchen balances classic and updated with its timeless black-and-white palette, ceiling-height cabinetry and smart storage. A breakfast bar and open layout make everyday living and entertaining easy, while abundant windows and generous countertops leave plenty of room for holiday cooking or baking your grandmother’s chocolate cake.
And then there is the sunroom. Terra cotta tile and a wall of windows overlooking the greenery create a private cocoon among the trees, filled with beautiful natural light. Use it for curling up with a book, as a den, rec room or play space. Step outside to the multi-level deck with built-in lighting, perfect for dining, grilling and lounging. Beyond, the expansive fenced backyard offers wonderful privacy, room to garden and play, plus a side putting green for a little friendly competition.
The primary bedroom has multiple closets, one cedar, and its own en suite bath. Both secondary bedrooms feature architectural corner windows with leafy views, cedar closets and share the hall bath. A one-car garage with workshop space adds function to all that charm.
Beyond the gem of a home, the Avondale Estates lifestyle is hard to beat. The community pool, tennis courts and local parks are nearby, along with the reimagined village and its lively collection of places to gather, including Book Bird, Galette, Santo Cantina and more. Catch live music at The Avon, make a quick jaunt to Your DeKalb Farmers Market, or simply stay home and enjoy your own peaceful corner of this special community.
Warm, welcoming and full of personality, 88 Clarendon is the kind of home that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile.
