About this home

Architect-owner designed home (5BR/3.5BA + finished terrace level) that pairs thoughtful details with the quintessential in-town lifestyle. A welcoming covered front porch adds to curb appeal and is a perfect setting for morning coffee, and it leads inside to a bright, open floor plan with architectural details and thoughtful flow. The dining area with modern lighting and the wet bar with cabinets transition out to a large back deck for entertaining, grilling, and unwinding. The chef’s kitchen features modern cabinetry, honed quartz countertops, peninsula seating for four, large pantry cabinets, subway tile, SS appliances, and modern lighting. Upstairs, the primary suite offers tall ceilings, abundant natural light, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a generous walk-in shower and double vanity. Two guest rooms share a bath with a tub/shower combo and subway tile, and all three full baths have heated porcelain floors. Laundry is conveniently upstairs near the bedrooms. The terrace level offers a private entrance, family room, bedroom, bath, and bonus room for guests, an office, or a media room. The large, flat, fully fenced backyard includes a deck, shed, cedar front walkway, Japanese maple, and a productive fig tree. Thoughtfully-selected materials and touches run throughout, including Canadian pine and Italian wool for sound reduction. Walk to Oakhurst Village, Oakview Coffee, Oakhurst Market, Mezcalitos, Oakhurst Dog Park, Oakhurst Park & Rec. Center, Bessie Branham Park, and Kirkwood’s dining, shopping, coffee, and parks. Enjoy front-row seats to much-loved events incl. Porchfest and the Madison Ave. Derby and participate in the community-feel of this idyllic street. East Lake MARTA is an easy walk, and Hawk’s Hollow Nature Preserve is minutes away. Zoned for coveted City Schools of Decatur.
