2551 Glenwood Ave., Atlanta, GA 30317

The exposed beams, wrought-iron railings, ship-lap siding and full-width porches hint at the modern designs you’ll find inside this modern farmhouse in Decatur’s East Lake neighborhood. This new home boasts 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, on an elevated lot literally across the street from East Lake Golf Club. Through the glass front door find a spacious living area with 10-foot ceilings supported by hardwood beams, and finished wood floors underfoot. Access to the kitchen and mudroom is steps away, as is a home office. The kitchen boasts stainless appliances and marble counters and island. Also on the main level: a family room with a fireplace for cool evenings, a side door to the back yard, access to a garage, and stairs to a full in-law suite. Upstairs, the master suite features a wide, gabled private balcony with views of the golf course’s sprawling lake and fairways. There’s an en-suite bath with glass shower, a separate tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet. The upstairs landing doubles as a roomy lounge area or family space. And there are two additional bedrooms here, sharing a full bathroom. All that’s to say nothing of the neighborhood amenities: Carefree access to the links, area parks like East Lake Park, and great dining and shopping within walking distance.
