244 Winnona Drive

THIS is “Old Decatur”… rocking-chair front porches overlooking shady streets, waving HI to neighbors as they pass. Homemade lemonade stands. Slip-n-slides with all your friends. Backyard cookouts with hot dogs and hamburgers, and homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert. And THIS is a beautiful 1936, cute-as-can-be bungalow that lives surprisingly large, with plenty of room to spread out, both inside and out. Come inside to a welcoming living room with fireplace and built-in shelving that practically begs for overstuffed sofas and good storytelling. The spacious kitchen, with countertops galore, keeps everyone part of the action and offers storage aplenty, plus a dedicated beverage station for entertaining or your morning joe. The nearby dining room brings everyone together for homework, meal prep, family dinners or simply a piece of chocolate cake. Note the nostalgic telephone nook in the hall on the way to the flexible bonus room that works beautifully as a den, office or fourth bedroom, complete with an en suite full bath and a larger-than-you’d-think closet. From here, enter the screened porch that is truly an entity all its own. With its dramatic pitched ceiling and leafy green views on two sides, you just may find yourself living out here nine months of the year. Upstairs, the exceptional primary suite offers two large closets, one with a door to additional unfinished storage, and a spacious en suite bath with long double vanity, soaking tub and generous shower. Laundry is conveniently located on this level, along with yet another flexible room ready to become a bedroom, office or cozy den. Across the street sits a beautiful, community green space that houses a tranquil creek and trails, ensuring forever private and serene vistas. THIS is what people mean when they talk about Old Decatur. A house with charm, a porch with a purpose, room to live, and a neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood. Something like this doesn’t come around very often. Be sure not to miss out…
