Welcome to your intown sanctuary in the City of Decatur! Nestled on over an acre of wooded land, this light-filled contemporary home offers a serene retreat within the city. Fully renovated and thoughtfully updated with a mid-century modern feel, this meticulously cared-for residence boasts over 3200 square feet across two levels. The open floor plan is an entertainer's dream, with seamless flow from the updated kitchen, featuring penny tile backsplash, granite counters and breakfast bar to the dining area and multiple living spaces, all opening onto outdoor decks. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living spaces with natural light, showcasing beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a redesigned wood-burning fireplace with new mantle and tile to the ceiling. The main level hosts a large primary suite where morning sunlight streams through French doors opening onto the back deck, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with custom-built vanity, double sinks, soaking tub, and separate step-in shower. A secondary bedroom on the main level is perfect for a nursery or home office, and adjacent to a fully renovated tile bath. Descend the staircase to find a family room ready for movie nights, play space and a home gym. Two large bedrooms with ample closet space feature French doors to the downstairs patio and share a hall bath. The lower level also features a large workshop with exterior access providing space for projects, a home art studio plus additional storage. The attached 2-car garage offers secure entry into the kitchen through a spacious mudroom and is equipped with easy-to-clean flooring. Outside, a covered front porch invites relaxation while kids play in the front yard. Side yard offers a cozy space to sit around a firepit. The back steps lead to the low maintenance wooded lot ready for exploration or expansion. Take a short stroll to enjoy Oakhurst's restaurants and festivals or walk to shops and restaurants in the Decatur square. Beacon Hill Middle and Decatur High School are a ~20 minute walk. Only 1-block to the East Lake Marta Station makes commuting downtown, to the airport, and your favorite sporting events and concerts a breeze. Don't miss the chance to experience one of Decatur's most unique homes!
