Drive slowly, waving at the dogs and friendly neighborhoods, as you pull up to this adorable, lovely home. Notice the mostly native easy-to-ignore-and -care-for landscaping designed for busy people and pollinators. Walk down the covered front porch into a welcoming entry, where you can drop muddy boots, scarves and coats without getting the beautiful original hardwoods dirty. To your right is one of two large screen porches, where you can hang out and enjoy a morning cup of coffee outside, even if it’s raining. To your left, the large dining room has gorgeous, custom built-ins, including a custom-made table and seating bench. It’s the perfect place for dinners, games and/or homework assignments. From here you are open to both the kitchen and the family room and can see out into the front and backyards, so enjoy all of this natural light! The family room also provides many custom built-ins and a sound insulation wall behind the TV mount. Cozy and warm, this is where you will hang to watch movies, read books and celebrate holidays. The kitchen is a dream kitchen! Flooded with light and open to the dining room, it has more storage than you will know what to do with! The gorgeous island is the heart of the house, measuring 8 feet long it can easily sit 4 – 6 of your favorite people. From here you can watch the backyard’s activities and abundant bird life while chatting with guests in the dining room. This home has the perfect entertaining flow complete with SS appliances, miles of quartz countertops (to avoid stains), timeless white & gray cabinets and Carrara marble backsplash. Down the hall is a private half bath, laundry and a master-on-the-main owner’s suite. This sanctuary offers 2 walls of windows, allowing for great natural light, and more beautiful, original hardwood floors. 2 closets, large double vanity, stylish tile and shower/tub combo with a nice, deep tub! Upstairs you will find more gorgeous hardwoods and tons of natural light in the 3 secondary bedrooms; one can be used as a flex space offering more wonderful custom built-ins. This room has been everything from a movie room, teen hang out, bedroom and office. The old 1950s charm, with interesting design and dormer windows, make the upstairs special. The full upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combo with the original cast iron tub. When you enter the private, fully fenced backyard, you will find a spacious storage shed and the 2nd large screen porch. This porch is great for movies and entertaining! The large yard has room for roller skating, tables, chairs grills, play set, chalk art, kiddie pools, badminton, cornhole, soccer and chilling. Enjoy the gorgeous stone fireplace, where you can cook smores and enjoy cool evening. The plants include a young weeping cherry tree, blueberry bushes, camellias, rosemary, pollinator attractors, and pecan and apple trees. This location is the best of all worlds! It is quiet but close to everything “City of Decatur,” Marta and the Stone Mountain bike path. You can be downtown in minutes in the middle of all the action or tucked quietly into your home on this tight-knit, dead-end street. Enjoy! Owner is a licensed Real Estate Agent.
