The home at 1982 Cambridge Avenue in College Park is one of the best examples of a renovated 1950s-era home you will ever see. The interior space of the home has been transformed into a marvelously open floor plan with modern fixtures and finishes , while retaining all the charm of a traditional bungalow. This home has been given a new lease on life to continue to proudly represent the Historic College Park community.
The overall impression of southern comfort is immediate. The moment you step up the stacked-stone front steps to the rocking chair front porch, a casual and relaxing ambiance begins to wrap you in warmth. Natural wood grain columns and railings and dual porch fans allow you to observe the world seemingly from a distance while protected on your own private perch.
When you enter the home the sheer openness of the floor plan is striking. Your eyes are immediately drawn across the dark hardwood floors to the free-standing stacked-stone fireplace, which is the only element separating the great room from the dining room and kitchen. The main living areas of this home are open and flowing, offering attractive views from every vantage point.
Beyond the fireplace lies the dining room, kitchen and a small den. Adjacent to the kitchen an unassuming staircase leads to the terrace level below. A door at the end of the open hallway leads to a covered, elevated porch on the rear of the home with a natural grain tongue-and-groove ceiling. Large windows in the dining room, aided by perfectly placed windows to the front and rear, allow natural light to traverse the entire main level of the home.
The kitchen features custom cabinets and a large central island with quartz countertops and an arabesque tile backsplash. Professional-grade stainless steel appliances perfectly blend modern appeal with the traditional design of the home.
Three of the five bedrooms in this home, including the master suite, are on the main level. The bright and spacious master suite features plush carpeting and a sitting area. The master bathroom provides dual vanities in an “L” shaped quartz countertop and an artistically tiled shower enclosed in glass.
Following the stairs to the terrace level brings you to a carpeted office and terrace level rear entrance. Through this door lies a second covered porch. A mudroom with a tile floor and shiplap-paneled wall provide a pleasing transition from the private, fenced backyard when entering the home from the detached garage. Perfect for entertaining, the terrace level boasts a wet bar in a light-filled alcove with custom cabinets and quartz countertops, as well as a large den. Two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the terrace level.
Simply put, this home is inviting. The designers made optimal use of every square foot of the existing structure and then raised the bar. The full, finished daylight basement is an uncommon feature of homes from this period and makes this home deceptively spacious. Charming and uniquely appealing, this home incites on so many levels. You simply must experience the brand new, yet sixty-year old, historic home at 1982 Cambridge Avenue in College Park, Georgia.
