56 Clarendon Ave., Avondale Estates, GA 30002

A stately and regal home overlooking a greenspace in the heart of picturesque Avondale Estates. 56 Clarendon was designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, Georgia’s first female architect, for the scrutinizing buyer who appreciates craftsmanship. Truly a one-of-a-kind property unaltered by modern influences with charm and character at every turn. The floor plan and finishes of the home have been preserved and maintained with the utmost care and attention to detail. The dramatic main hallway is two-stories tall and showcases a grand stairwell. An abundance of windows and 10’ ceilings allow natural light to fill each room. Arched doorways on either side of the hall show off a formal living room and a very large den. At the rear of the home is a kitchen, breakfast room, bathroom, office/sunroom, and formal dining room. Four large bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor are accessed by a wrap-around hallway. One bedroom features built-in bookshelves and a gas fireplace with original mantel and stone hearth. What was once a horse barn is now a detached two-car garage with workshop spaces and a large, screened porch overlooking the wooded back yard. Centrally located in the heart of the neighborhood and less than ½ mile to Willis Park, Avondale Lake, and Swim and Tennis Club.
