404 Carter Ave., Atlanta, GA 30317

For a home combining Old World aesthetics and modern design, all within a chip-shot of some of the Atlanta area’s best outdoor amenities (including the PGA’s East Lake Golf Club), this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is hard to beat. Its charms are apparent even from the curb: the Craftsman touches, timeless shaker shingles, a shady tin-roofed porch. Inside find 10-foot ceilings, wood floors, and naturally lit open-concept living space. That space boasts a family room with barn doors, dining area and living room with a gas fireplace flanked by bookshelves. Bay windows offer lovely landscape views, and a back deck gets you even closer to nature. The kitchen offers a large island, granite counter, blue tile backsplash, stainless appliances, gas range with Viking hood, and walk-in pantry. Downstairs is a finished basement with media room, bedroom and a full bath – ready for guests or independence-minded teens – and access to the 2-car garage. The top floor holds 4 bedrooms, including an owner’s suite with an en-suite bath with double vanity, glass shower and jet tub. Outside find an exclusive community park and gazebo. Charlie Yates Golf Course and East Lake Park are nearby, and you can just as easily hit all the amenities of downtown Decatur or downtown Atlanta.
