Historic Tucker Farmhouse on Nearly Half an Acre - Originally built in 1866 this remarkable Tucker farmhouse is a true piece of local history. Expanded over generations and thoughtfully updated over time, the home retains the craftsmanship, warmth, and character that make historic homes so special. The original two fireplace rooms remain part of the home today, with additional rooms added in the 1870s as the property evolved through generations. Inside, oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, reclaimed architectural details, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors create warmth and character throughout. Every space feels collected, artistic, and authentic. Original 1866 icebox has been repurposed into the primary bathroom vanity, reclaimed doors sourced from historic h omes nearby add another layer of thoughtful character. Renovated kitchen, completed in 2022, serves as the heart of the home and features all new appliances, a large center island with seating, extensive storage and prep space, and an open flow into the breakfast nook and dining areas. The spacious layout includes a large primary suite with generous closets and an updated bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and several inviting living spaces including a living room, den, sitting room, and dining room. A detached heated and cooled studio offers the perfect space for a workshop, office, gym, or creative retreat. Situated on nearly half an acre, the property feels like a private garden retreat tucked into the heart of Tucker. Outdoor spaces include a large fenced yard, covered front porch, gazebo, multiple gathering areas, and a pergola draped in mature wisteria and honeysuckle that becomes especially beautiful in bloom each spring. Established landscaping includes mature trees, asparagus, blueberry bushes, wild blackberries, and cherry tomato plants. Significant improvements over recent years include interior painting, a new fence (2023), majority Hardiplank siding replacement in 2020, full HVAC replacement in 2019, and a Tesla EV charger. Conveniently located near Decatur, Emory, CDC, and downtown Tucker, this special historic property offers the feel of a country farmhouse with easy access to intown Atlanta amenities.
