Welcome to a home defined by the human needs it satisfies. This Decatur mid-century modern gem invites you to experience a delightful blend of design, function, and sensory pleasure. Imagine a hot, sunny Atlanta summer day. You’ve just left your favorite boba shop, Tea Leaf & Creamery, when you spot a for sale sign advertising an O P E N HOUSE. With nothing better to do, you decide to check it out, hoping for some cool shade. As you pull up to 705 Willievee Dr., your jaw drops. This isn't what you expected. Majestic oak trees whisper a welcome from above. The dramatic dark siding and burnt brick, paired with the sexy angular roofline, give you butterflies. You push past the solid wood door, and your heart skips a beat. The house stands with calm authority amidst its chaotic visual context, showcasing walls of brick and glass. It's an architectural symphony. She speaks, no sings to you, a brilliant composition. A gentle push from behind indicates that you're holding up traffic at the front door. Other guests start clearing their throats... How long have you been standing here star struck? You turn into the kitchen, and it's beyond your wildest expectations. Updated and open, it boasts rich earth tones, stone floors, and wood ceilings. Visually overwhelmed, you pause to take it all in. Off the kitchen is a sun-filled den, once a weaving room. With a wall of windows facing the urban forest, you spot a wren making her way up an oak tree trunk. You've never experienced emotions this intense for a house before. You didn't plan on buying a home today, you were just looking for a fun stop to enjoy your last sips of boba. But now, here you are, head-over-heels in love. Past the living room, the master suite awaits with its curbless shower, thoughtfully laid-out double sinks, ample storage, and a garden tub perfect for weekend relaxation. The second and third bedrooms are connected by another living space, vaulted ceilings, and a light-filled bathroom. The manipulation of simplicity creates a sensation of space despite its modest scale. You lay back on the soft memory foam mattress and close your eyes. This is a space you would never want to leave. The feeling is both personal and intimate. A timeless sanctuary, a masterpiece where life and happiness intertwine. ------Don't miss the steamy video on YouTube (search 705 Willivee) Owner/ Agent-
