Property Description

Welcome to 2142 South Lumpkin Street, a 1930 Craftsman cottage tucked away in 5- Points. This home is situated between Lumpkin Street and Old Princeton Road, providing an excellent location that still feels private. The 1600 square feet and multiple outdoor living spaces are absolutely filled with character, with fun and intricate architectural details around every corner. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warmth of heart pine floors, high beadboard ceilings, built-in cupboards, beautiful chandeliers and handpainted artwork adorning walls. Multiple period-style fireplaces add to the home's historic allure, creating cozy focal points throughout. Even the foyer is charming and includes a built-in desk area that is flooded with natural light. The recently remodeled bathroom features black and white floor tile, tile wainscotting on the walls, and a beautiful clawfoot tub/shower. The bath is both an ensuite and accessible from the foyer. The kitchen is both cute and functional, with new appliances and floating shelves added in 2022, and it leads to the convenient laundry room with included pantry storage. The floor plan unfolds in a manner consistent with many homes of this era, with a large central hallway and two rooms on either side. Two large bedrooms, including a primary suite, are located on the right side of the hall, while the left includes a spacious living room and huge dining room. One of the unique features of this home is its seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. A covered front porch overlooks Lumpkin Street, while the back entrance off Old Princeton Road leads to a private oasis complete with a large wooden deck, terraced garden area, painted mural and stone path, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. The home isn't just about aesthetics; it's also move-in ready with updated infrastructure. A recently pressure-washed metal roof is in great condition, new gutters were installed in 2022, a Trane heat pump HVAC system was installed in December 2023 with a Wifi- enabled thermostat, the entire inside and wood-sided exterior were recently painted, and a current termite bond ensure peace of mind for years to come. Location is prime with the back entrance to Memorial Park right down the sidewalk, the center of 5 Points a mile away, South Campus of UGA just 1.5 miles, and Beechwood Shopping less than 2 miles away. Don't miss your chance to make 2142 South Lumpkin Street your own little piece of history!
