Property Description
Welcome to this magnificent 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom historic home nestled in the heart of Decatur, Georgia. Built in the 1930s, this classic all-brick residence exudes charm and character at every turn.
As you approach, the curved roof in a storybook style sets the tone, leading you through the original arched door into a living space filled with timeless features. From the custom-crafted mantel to the light fixture from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, crown molding, original glass door knobs (even have many of the skeleton keys), clawfoot tub, and gleaming hardwood floors, every detail reflects a blend of elegance and history.
The main level boasts a peaceful screened porch overlooking a professionally landscaped yard, ideal for enjoying the scent of seasonal gardenias. The dining room with its crystal chandelier and arched entryway perfectly complements the charm of the home.
The chef's kitchen is a dream with high-quality wooden cabinets, a Five Star gas range, pot filler, and a convenient wet bar. A breakfast room or versatile office space adds functionality to the layout.
On the ground floor, three bedrooms and two baths include a potential main floor owner's suite with a spacious walk-in closet and private bath. The other two bathrooms are connected by a bathroom. Upstairs, the oversized owner's suite is a sanctuary with five distinct spaces, including a reading area, dressing room, walk-in closet, and a large, renovated spa-like bathroom filled with natural light from 10 custom skylights built into the brand new roof (early 2024)! Across from the owner's suite is another spacious bedroom with a built-in window seat.
Outside, a brand-new 2-car garage offers parking and workshop space, while the serene, fenced backyard boasts, green space, blackberries, and blueberries. With its historic charm, modern amenities, and prime location, this home offers a unique opportunity to experience Decatur living at its finest.
