This turn-key craftsman home, nestled in Oakhurst, boasts a host of exquisite features that earned it an EarthCraft Platinum rating for sustainability and energy efficiency during its renovation and construction. The residence is a testament to custom design, evident in every meticulously crafted detail that enhances the ambiance of each well-lit room. The living spaces are adorned with continuous hardwood floors, and the living room is graced by built-in bookcases flanking an energy-efficient wood-burning fireplace. Zoned to distribute heat into three separate rooms, this fireplace is not only clean-burning but also features custom-made tiles and a mantle. The original living room mantel has been repurposed to become a distinctive element in the primary bath's water closet. The kitchen is a marvel of completeness, featuring a 60" gas range, dual fuel ovens, a striking copper vent hood, a hand-wrought pan rack, a built-in wine cooler, and an antique cast iron sink with integrated drain boards. Solid walnut countertops and a stone-surfaced island that seats four add to the kitchen's allure. The adjacent dining room opens onto a screened porch overlooking a beautifully landscaped backyard with an oversized garden, stone surround, and farm fencing. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers an en suite bath and a walk-in closet, accompanied by three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a conveniently located laundry. Ample storage space has been cleverly integrated into every available nook, with two bedrooms featuring built-in platform beds with new mattresses. For added whimsy, all three secondary bedrooms come equipped with removable hanging swing/hammock chairs. The property caters to hobbyists with a fully functional workshop space boasting a separate entrance and abundant electrical supply, including two 220 outlets. Located within the City of Decatur School district, the home is just a short distance from the Oakhurst 4/5 Academy and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, parks, and shopping. In summary, this residence stands as a testament to meticulous design, sustainability, and functionality, making it an ideal haven for those seeking a distinctive and well-appointed home in Oakhurst. It is worth noting, the Seller specializes in architectural salvage and antiques and carefully curated the many historic features of this home.
