Set on one of the most distinctive lots along Willivee Drive, 1436 Willivee Drive is a rare opportunity to own a home with history, flexibility, and long-term value in this highly sought-after Decatur corridor. Owned by the granddaughter of the original owner, the home sits gracefully at the curve near the end of the street—creating a sense of privacy and openness that’s increasingly hard to find intown. The deep, usable lot offers exceptional potential for outdoor living, future expansion, or simply enjoying the quiet, established setting. Inside, the home blends original character with thoughtful updates and a layout designed for real life. Natural light fills the main living spaces, while the flow feels both functional and inviting—ideal for everyday living and easy entertaining. The finished basement adds remarkable versatility and truly sets this property apart. Featuring a fourth bedroom, half bath, recreation room with exterior entry, and a dedicated workshop, the lower level is well-suited for an in-law suite, guest space, creative studio, or rental opportunity. Conveniently located near parks, trails, and the shops and restaurants of Decatur, with easy access to Emory, downtown Decatur, and intown Atlanta, this home offers a lifestyle rooted in space, flexibility, and connection. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property with room to grow, adapt, and be enjoyed for generations to come.
