There’s something instantly captivating about 982 Cardova Drive—a home that feels as though it were lifted from the pages of Architectural Digest, yet lives with the ease and comfort of a modern storybook cottage. Nestled in highly sought-after Martin Manor, this 1950 charmer has been artfully reimagined, blending timeless character with thoughtful, designer-curated style. Inside, the vaulted, beamed ceiling in the family room makes a stunning first impression—an architectural centerpiece that feels both dramatic and inviting. A second living area just beyond the family room offers versatility and charm, easily serving as a dining space or cocktail lounge. Off the dining area, a door opens to the backyard, where you’ll find a newly stained deck that expands the home’s entertaining footprint and overlooks a large, private backyard—perfect for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or fall celebrations. Featuring carefully chosen details that make everyday living feel elevated, the renovated kitchen showcases classic marble countertops, open shelving, stainless-steel appliances, a gas range, and a cozy breakfast nook. Flawless flow connects these spaces beautifully, making it ideal for hosting—from intimate dinners to lively gatherings. Down the hall, a touch of wallpaper adds warmth and personality, while two bedrooms share a timelessly updated bathroom accented by a marble-topped vanity, subway-tiled shower, and a linen closet for extra storage. One of the guest bedroom closets has been cleverly converted into a desk area, perfectly suited for working from home. Laundry is conveniently located in the hallway, and a one-car carport adds practicality without compromising curb appeal. Recent updates bring peace of mind and lasting value: a new roof, gutters, and water heater (all completed in 2021), plus a new HVAC system installed in 2020. Beyond its charm, this home offers unbeatable convenience. Martin Manor is one of Atlanta’s most connected neighborhoods, providing easy access to Buckhead, Midtown, and every corner of the city. Local favorites like Taqueria del Sol and Little Bangkok are just moments away, with parks, trails, and city amenities close by. Charming, elevated, and entirely one-of-a-kind—982 Cardova Drive is more than a home. It’s a place to fall in love, to gather, and to make memories for years to come.
