Luxury meets the elegance of history in this storybook home located across from Sycamore Park in the historic district just moments from Decatur Square. This fully restored home brings the pinnacle of 1930’s beauty to the modern era. The brick driveway and meandering garden paths lead you to your large front porch adorned with stately white columns, rocking chairs, and porch swing. The classic front door greets you and transports you and visitors alike to a magnificent Southern oasis. All are welcomed by fresh designer-selected paint and custom wallpaper, refinished gleaming hardwoods, high ceilings, grand fireplaces, renovated baths, and large windows adorning each living space giving way to plenty of natural light expertly paired with new recessed lighting across the home, neatly appointed guest suites, and so much more. The main level includes a large formal living room adorned with a fully functional grand fireplace, spacious corner study, and formal dining room accented by glass paned French doors and new chandelier. The gourmet chef’s kitchen boasts top of the line appliances, a 6-burner gas range, ice maker, beverage cooler, separate vegetable sink and prep area, plus a newly minted pantry with custom built-ins. White glazed tile backsplash, new customized pull out shelves within all lower cabinetry, and black granite countertops that surround an expansive kitchen island make cooking a dream; perfect for wine tastings or morning coffee. Through a lovely archway, the kitchen opens onto a substantial window-lined great room with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and wide-ceiling beams. Venture through the great room’s French doors to an idyllic screened side porch overlooking the home’s private lush gardens anchored by a wrought iron gate and designed by Award-winning landscape architect, Dottie Myers. The greenery boasts blooming pink evergreen camellias, conifers, boxwoods, Japanese maples, magnolias, and countless others. Dine al fresco or enjoy being the host(ess) to many a garden party on your two additional porches. Cool down back inside with your newly re-designed HVAC system created to maximize air flow. New duct work and a whole house filter met with new open cell insulation elevates the energy efficiency of this historic home. Ascend the central grand staircase to find two bright bedrooms with lovely customizations and new designer carpet that share a cheerful full bath. From the upper landing it is impossible to miss the breathtaking Primary Suite with glorious lofted ceilings, drop chandelier, custom-designed closet systems with island, and limitless space and storage. The spa-like en suite bathroom presents luxurious neutral stone with large jetted soaking tub, step-in full tile shower, dual vanities, new luxury faucets and hardware throughout, and separate water closet. Explore additional living, playing, and multi-generational space by taking a walk through your new fully fenced yard to the two car garage with built-in storage, work space, and above garage flex space. With a lovely porch, fresh paint, and new carpet this oversized bonus area provides room for you to make your vision a reality - a music room, home office, guest retreat, fitness area - your options are limitless. Situated on a picturesque street just a few blocks from award-winning schools and Decatur’s most notable restaurants, this Southern dream is beckoning with all the access to the city accompanied by the tranquility of a remote estate.
