About 26 Clarendon Ave

This isn't a fairytale, and your wait is about to be rewarded. Storybook meets extraordinary in this updated and expanded beloved brick Tudor Revival in Avondale Estates. Set back and up off the sidewalk beyond specimen azaleas and maples, as grounded as it is gorgeous, this honey of a home delivers the character you crave and the modern livability you demand. Fireplaces, impressive oak doors and flooring, finished eaves, hand-crafted newel posts, steel casement windows and carved wood are just some of the historic architectural features that seamlessly blend with the home’s clever renovations and additional space. With low-key charm and captivating curb appeal, 26 Clarendon doesn't shout. It's coolly confident, nailing the balance between timeless style and forever functionality. From the covered porch to fireside foyer entry, you're in for a treat as you approach a true dining room set up. You don’t want a formal space? Then style it with your record collection and a bad a** bar. Beyond the front rooms, the updated kitchen is the center of the home, complete with gas cooktop and breakfast bar. Open to the den, it creates flow for casual hosting and full-on parties. Don’t miss the incredible ironwork railing as you check out the kitchen’s covered side door entry by the dreamy bag drop and pantry. The upstairs primary suite offers its own sitting room, perfect for a late-night wind-down or early morning reset. Overlooking the breathtaking backyard and offering deck expansion options, the serene owner's retreat features a marble bathroom with soaking tub, spacious shower, private water closet. Creamy colored walk-in closet shelving remains. A rare daylight lower-level gives you the ultimate in multi-gen living or potential income, including a second family room, au pair privacy, or great guest space. There’s also an enormous laundry room and storage space. A stone patio just beyond the lower level exterior entry is a perfect place to park your grill and follow the action on the flat, fenced backyard, ready for whatever you’re into — gardening, ball games, and playdates on the playfort. Coveted, covered 2-car / golf cart parking adds a practical component you’ll appreciate. Wooden privacy fencing in the backyard and the automatic driveway gate provide ease and convenience for fur friends, kids, cars and golf carts.
