Centrally located in the beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood of Lake Claire, this timeless Craftsman, built by esteemed Atlanta builder John Willis, blends architectural integrity with livable luxury. Set at the end of a private rear-entry cul-de-sac, the home enjoys an uncommon sense of privacy and calm. The drive ends at the detached garage, creating a tucked-away setting that also serves as a fun, secure space for kids to ride bikes or play safely away from the street. A stone wall and mature landscaping frame the front lawn, leading to a wide, rocking-chair front porch that perfectly captures the warmth of Southern design. Inside, 3,590 square feet of refined living space unfold with thoughtful craftsmanship and enduring materials. Hardwood floors flow throughout, and every room feels both elegant and comfortable. The main level offers distinct formal and informal spaces, including a separate dining room, a classic living room, and a welcoming family room centered around a fireplace. A flexible room currently serves as a home office, with an adjacent full bath allowing it to function beautifully as a guest suite. The chef's kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a bright breakfast area that opens to the deck for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite feels serene and spacious, with a renovated bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, and the laundry is conveniently located on this level. The finished lower level adds versatility with two bedrooms, a full bath, and an additional living area ideal for guests, media, or a studio. Behind the main residence, a detached two-car garage includes a two-level private loft apartment with one bedroom and one bath, approx 700 SF. Currently rented for $1,650 per month, it offers excellent income potential or an elegant retreat for guests or extended family.
