Welcome to 8 Exeter Road in historic Avondale Estates, a charming cottage nestled on one of Avondale’s most coveted streets. Built in 1926, this home blends timeless historic charm and modern conveniences. From the moment you enter the living room through the original front door, you’re greeted with loads of natural light. The original windows operate with rope weights, which heightens the charm factor. Original hardwood floors (yes, that’s right, beautiful and pristine after 99 years) offer solid footing as you move room to room, appreciating the period-appropriate details, thoughtful renovations, and airiness throughout the home. The approximately 1,800 square feet lives large, due in part to the 9' ceilings and intricate moldings, and with 11' ceilings in the attic, there is potential to expand upward, increasing accommodations from the current 3 bedroom/2 bath floor plan, if you so desire. No doubt about it, this cottage is a true unicorn! The large dining room and wide galley kitchen offers ample space to host friends and the outdoor space provides endless possibilities: enjoy gardening, entertain on the two levels of deck space, or cozy up with a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise. Being so close to Town Green, you can relax outside and listen to the summer concerts in the comfort of your back yard or screened porch. Updates you will appreciate include a tankless hot water heater; roof; complete rewiring electrical from knob-and-tube; new ductwork throughout the home; and blown insulation in the attic, all done in 2017. Enjoy the dry basement thanks to an AquaGuard drain/sump pump system and waterproofing installed in 2018, and in earlier this year the screened porch had new screening installed. Have you dreamt of a small community lifestyle where you are a short stroll away from coffee and pastry shops, dining (including a Bib Gourmand award recipient), eclectic shops, parks, a pool/tennis club, and a lake? This Avondale original can make your dream come true.
