161 Ridgeland Avenue

WELCOME TO 161 RIDGELAND AVE +++ 5BR / 4BA IN THE CITY OF DECATUR +++ TOTALLY REBUILT IN 2016 & BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED +++ MOVE-IN READY This stunning EarthCraft home delivers the space, flexibility, and finishes that are hard to find at any price. What sets this home apart is how well it lives: a main-level bedroom with French doors works beautifully as a guest room or home office; the dining room is spacious enough to convert to a second sitting area; and the finished basement adds multiple flexible rooms, a full bath, a sauna, and a massive storage room that doubles as a storm shelter or wine cellar. From the screened porch to the primary suite, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained. +++ MAIN LEVEL: The open-concept kitchen and living room is the heart of the home — 6-burner gas stove with pot filler and vent hood, oversized island with prep sink and dishwasher, walk-in pantry, and generous counter space make this a kitchen worth cooking in. The living room features a gas fireplace, built-in storage, and doors opening to a screened porch ideal for entertaining or a quiet evening. Also on the main level: a bedroom with French doors, full bath, breakfast nook, and a mudroom with extra storage. +++ UPSTAIRS: Vaulted primary suite with oversized walk-in closet and spa-like bath — standalone soaking tub, massive walk-in shower, dual vanity, and private water closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms, each with large French door closets, share a jack-and-jill bath with dual vanities and a private toilet/shower room. Generous laundry room with utility sink and storage. +++ BASEMENT: Two finished rooms with multiple closets, full bath, and sauna — perfect as a guest suite, gym, playroom, in-law/au pair suite, and/or second living space. Large storage room doubles as storm shelter or wine cellar. +++ OUTSIDE: Screened porch with outdoor TV, covered carport with EV charger, fresh exterior paint (2026), mature trees, and beautiful landscaping. +++ THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Ridgeland Ave is a quiet, low-traffic street with a genuine sense of community — neighbors who know each other by name and look out for one another.
