Description

Walk into a modern aesthetic featuring open-concept living, vaulted ceilings, two sets of French doors, a bar, and a larger-than-expected kitchen space. Exuding a lofty, mid-century vibe, this home features some whimsies as well: a wooden spiral staircase leading down to a basement area that could easily be a 3rd bedroom, home office, or game room; a hand-carved decorative wood beam in the master; and a "lodge spa"-like master bath under a half-moon window. House does have A/C but lower-than-market-value...Walk into a modern aesthetic featuring open-concept living, vaulted ceilings, two sets of French doors, a bar, and a larger-than-expected kitchen space. Exuding a lofty, mid-century vibe, this home features some whimsies as well: a wooden spiral staircase leading down to a basement area that could easily be a 3rd bedroom, home office, or game room; a hand-carved decorative wood beam in the master; and a "lodge spa"-like master bath under a half-moon window. House does have A/C but lower-than-market-value price factors in need to replace current non-working unit as well as a few other repairs. FULL size laundry and 2nd FULL bath in basement! Stellar location: 10 min to downtown Decatur's fabulous shopping & restaurants, 5 min to Toco and Druid Hills, 10 min to downtown Tucker, and only 20-25 min to midtown and Buckhead. Valley Brook Estates is a fun, friendly, active neighborhood with NO HOA! Come by the VBENA Spring Fling Saturday afternoon (5/14) which will feature homemade BBQ, drinks, music, and games in the Dove Way cul-de-sac from 4-8:00. VBE is also invited to join nearby Lindmoor Woods' tennis and pool community membership for summer fun!
