Step into history at 2020 Park Ave - one of The Carpenter's Cottages, a trio of homes built in 1917 by the same craftsmen who worked on the Monument Avenue mansions. Their artistry shines through every detail, from the ornate moldings to the rich hardwood floors. The light-filled living room features beautiful millwork, large windows, and a wood-burning fireplace, flowing naturally into a formal dining room with a classic chandelier. The retro-style galley kitchen retains its vintage character while featuring a new Frigidaire refrigerator and GE gas range (2021). A morning room-currently used as a breakfast nook-offers access to the backyard and could easily serve as a mudroom or cozy reading spot. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a stained-glass window and new ceiling fan, while the second bedroom serves as a bright art studio. The third bedroom offers a cozy flex space ideal for a study or closet area. A full bath, recently refreshed with a new vanity, completes the second floor. In the basement, you'll find laundry (Samsung washer and Whirlpool dryer), a second refrigerator and plenty of storage space. Outback, enjoy a private fenced yard and off-street parking in the rear alley. This timeless Fan home is perfectly positioned near neighborhood parks, coffee shops, and local favorites. Additional updates include a new metal roof (2022), tankless water heater (2021), lead water line replacement (2021), sewage line replacement (2024), New cedar siding and paint at rear (2023) and rear fencing (2025) and brick stair and retaining wall repointing.
