There is an undeniable allure to City of Decatur living, and this striking 2016 reinvention captures that essence effortlessly. Originally built in 1941, a comprehensive, down-to-the-studs reconstruction has transformed the main and upper levels into a modern masterpiece defined by scale, symmetry, and abundant natural light. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a seamless open-concept design. Sunlight fills the expansive living room, anchored by a warm fireplace. Glass doors open to a serene screened porch featuring its own outdoor fireplace—an idyllic setting for morning coffee or crisp autumn evenings. A main-floor guest suite offers complete privacy and flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, complete with a dedicated sitting room, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities, heated floors, a walk-in shower, and a meticulously refurbished antique clawfoot tub. Two additional bedrooms boast custom built-in window seats with integrated storage, sharing a refined hall bath with a double vanity. Unmatched versatility elevates this property into a rare offering. The terrace level features a private exterior entrance, creating an ideal layout for an au-pair suite, multi-generational living, or rental income with the capacity to easily integrate into the main structure via a future interior staircase. Completing the estate is a detached two-car garage topped by a fully independent carriage house. Featuring two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living space, and private laundry, it represents the ultimate luxury of flexible, elevated living in one of Decatur’s most coveted settings.
