349 W Parkwood Rd., Decatur, GA 30030

It’s mid-century design done right in this charming creek-side brick ranch that’s next to Parkwood Park and just 1 mile from Decatur Square. Its simple design offers comfort that’s hard to match in more showy homes, but there’s plenty of sparkle, too, from a Sputnik-style dining room chandelier to the sliding glass doors in the library/study. It’s 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, with an open floor plan with fireplace and finished with hardwood floors and a lovely gray-and-white chef’s kitchen. That kitchen boasts quartz counters, large island with seating, pro-style ZLINE range, stainless appliances, lighted glass-door cabinets, and tile backsplash. The study can double as home office, with built-in bookcases and access to both the single-car garage and the 700-square-foot back deck (finished with hog-wire fence for unobstructed views of the wooded half-acre property set on Peavine Creek). The owner’s suite offers sliding barn door access to a private bath with a standing shower. Two more bedrooms on the main level each feature a closet and share a hall bath. Head downstairs to find a finished basement with extra bedroom, media room with wet bar, full bath, laundry room, and more. Parkwood and Deepdene parks are incredibly close, and you’re just 1 mile from all the amenities of downtown Decatur Square.
