Description

Built in 1910 and designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, one of America's first female architects, this Melrose Avenue home makes an impression from the curb, with a wrought iron fence, established garden, and soft pink exterior. A classic Southern front porch runs the width of the home, made for slow afternoons and conversations with passing neighbors. Inside, the historic detail is everywhere you look: original pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, and craftsman windows that...Built in 1910 and designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, one of America's first female architects, this Melrose Avenue home makes an impression from the curb, with a wrought iron fence, established garden, and soft pink exterior. A classic Southern front porch runs the width of the home, made for slow afternoons and conversations with passing neighbors. Inside, the historic detail is everywhere you look: original pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, and craftsman windows that pour light into every room. Three bedrooms, one bath, and two living spaces leave room for a proper living room and a formal dining room, or whatever configuration suits you. Out back, a quaint covered porch overlooks a large, fully fenced yard. It's quiet, private, and made for everyday use. Melrose is one of the most coveted streets in 30030, and the location lives up to it. You're on a quiet block within walking distance of downtown Decatur and some of Atlanta's best restaurants and coffee shops like Brick Store, Iberian Pig, Jeni's, and B Side Coffee among them. Inman Park, BeltLine access, and Emory are all less than a ten-minute drive.
