Bright, airy front unit of a passive solar duplex in the heart of Candler Park. 1,265 sq ft across two stories, with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, plus generous flex space a downstairs sunroom with floor-to-ceiling glass doors on both ends, and an upstairs loft under vaulted ceilings with skylights. North-south window orientation pulls a cross-breeze through the house.
Built in 1980 by a local designer/builder, it was one of the city's first passive solar residences. The aesthetic is part Scandinavian, part chalet: white walls, natural wood trim, concrete floors downstairs (slab foundation) and wood floors upstairs. South-facing windows on both stories bring in ample sunlight, supplemented by a heat-pump HVAC and a gas furnace centrally located in the living room that radiates warmth up through the floorboards.
The duplex layout: the two units share one wall no shared floor/ceiling, so no footstep noise from above or below. I own the building and live in the back unit; we'd be neighbors with separate entrances, separate yards, and our own washer/dryers (both in-unit, downstairs). Kitchen has a dishwasher, gas stove, and ample cabinetry.
Location: Quiet residential street with reliable on-street parking. Walkable to:
0.25 mi east of Candler Park Park (public pool, tennis courts, brand-new playground)
0.4 mi east of Candler Park MARTA Station
0.25 mi west of Fellini's, La Fonda, Gigi's, Candler Park Market, Flying Biscuit, Lost in the Letters, soon-to-open Little Tart & Big Softy

Rent: $1,900/mo.
Utilites: Water/sewer split proportionally by household size (~$50/mo per household is typical). Electric is tenant's own account through Georgia Power. Optional internet share: I have AT&T Fiber at $80.35/mo, split would be ~$40/household, and there's already an extender in the front unit. Gas provider is tenant's choice.
