The brick fireplace is enhanced with gas for cozy comfort.

No need to stress over laundry days because the spacious laundry room is conveniently located on the same floor as all the bedrooms. For extra storage, the attic has been additionally floored.

 Lastly, the backyard is fenced and professionally landscaped with a charming brick patio perfect for your grill. The beautiful pink dogwood in the backyard makes the springtime even more enjoyable.

Welcome to 2010!  This is our first listing of the New Year to hit the market!  And, it’s a great one!  There is a reason our listings don’t last.  From marketing to pricing to staging, we know how to get homes sold in the least amount of time for the most amount of money. Run, don’t walk!  It’s sure to go fast… 

Modern Day Luxury Renovated to Original Craftsman Charm

Old is new again. Originally built in 1930, this immaculate renovation reminds us of a much simpler Decatur. The custom paint and trim fit perfectly and help restore the home to original cottage charm. But don’t let this little trip down memory lane fool you!  This Decatur home, nestled in historic Decatur Heights, is equipped with everything and more that you’d expect from a brand new home, at a fraction of the price.  Within easy walking distance of downtown Decatur, all your favorite hot spots are at your back door.  Also, since you have easy access to Ponce de Leon, the main thoroughfares and public transportation are convenient.  The fenced corner lot provides great privacy and enhances the overall function and curb appeal of the home, and you are districted for the desirable Winnona Park Elementary School within the City Schools of Decatur cluster.

An open floorplan in a 70 year old house? Absolutely! You will love the natural light, flow and openness created in the main living room, dining room, and gourmet kitchen running the length of the home. The rich original hardwood floors and warm custom paint finishes tie everything together. The original fireplace has been brought back to life with modern day gas logs. The tiled kitchen features the granite countertops and counter space you have been looking for with a complimenting tile backsplash and extra outlets for convenience. In addition, the custom cabinets are painted to accent and give the kitchen an ultra updated appeal. The home includes three separate bedrooms along with two separate bathrooms. The updated motif is continued in the baths. No more perfect example than the crisp and clean master bathroom including tasteful tile and an oversized master shower complete with two shower heads. The guest bath includes modern designer light and bath fixtures and includes a classically unique antique slipper tub.

If you’re considering a Decatur relocation or an Atlanta relocation, this may just be the home for you!  What a perfect commute to Emory, Agnes Scott, Decatur Square, CDC, Downtown Atlanta, Midtown Atlanta, Buckhead, or Brookhaven.  This home is also nearby entertainment, shopping, and restaurant destinations such as DeKalb Farmer’s Market, Eddie’s Attic, Watershed Restaurant, Brick Store Pub, Wahoo! A Decatur Grill, and Fernbank.

Your home is waiting. Time is not on your side. This beautifully updated charmer will not last long, and once you see it, you will understand why.  Click on the flyer below for the full PDF image.
