They just don’t make them like this anymore! Originally constructed in 1935, 1377 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive is an all brick Tudor bungalow full of character and craftsmanship. The front entrance and covered side porch are adorned by graceful archways, and the front porch is covered in original terra cotta tile. The sleek dark trim and architectural wood door bring this classic home into the modern age.
While this home and its surrounding neighborhood are rich in history (baseball legend Hank Aaron once lived right next door!), entering the fully renovated interior feels like a fresh start, full of flexible space with endless options to make it your own. The expansive great room is anchored by a huge picture window that drenches the space in natural light. The light, airy feel is amplified by the blonde oak hardwood floors that continue throughout the main level. A decorative fireplace adds even more aesthetic interest to the space.
The highlight of the home just might be the stunning chef’s kitchen, which features sleek stainless steel appliances, designer tile backsplash, and a custom island. Open shelving is complemented by more discreet kitchen storage in the spacious pantry.
The main level is completed with three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large laundry area and back mudroom, and a bonus room - perfect for use as a bright and beautiful home office, a luxurious dressing room off the primary suite, or even a conversion into a formal dining room.
The upper level, complete with a partially finished half bath ready to be transformed into a full bath, offers endless potential – envision a private primary suite, a cozy media room, a quiet work-from-home space, a kids’ playroom, or an expansive storage space.
The interior charm extends outdoors, where you’ll find a grassy backyard and an oversized deck with built-in bench seating, the perfect sanctuary for summer barbecues and relaxing evenings.
And the care invested in this home goes well beyond its beautiful renovation. Meticulously maintained over the years, it offers the kind of updates buyers appreciate most, including a newer roof and HVAC system that are both just over two years old, as well as a recently stabilized foundation that offers peace of mind.
