1041 Scott Blvd., Decatur, GA 30030

Behind a front yard of mature trees, this graceful home in Decatur’s Clairemont-Great Lakes neighborhood looks like a small, charming brick cottage but unfolds to a bevy of space, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms over three levels. Enter a spacious family room with a cozy fireplace and see gorgeous hardwood floors, a large dining room, and a warm sunroom immersed in natural light from three sides – a space ready as play room or home office. The kitchen’s nicely updated with granite countertops, stainless appliances, copious cabinets, and a back door for direct access to the shady backyard with its wide stone patio. Completing the main level is a bedroom and full bathroom, and upstairs are two additional large bedrooms, including an owner suite with beaucoup closet space and a private bath. The next surprise is downstairs: a full in-law suite awaits, with a full kitchen (also finished with stainless appliances and granite counters), living area, bedroom, bath, and even its own washer and dryer. Of course, it being Decatur, you’ll find a lovely walkable neighborhood outside the door. Woodlands Garden’s 7-acre preserve is a block away, Glenlake Park is an easy stroll, and all of Downtown Decatur’s unforgettable amenities – the dining, the shopping, the MARTA access – are at Decatur Square, just 1½ miles south.
