The screened porch off this inviting space feels like an outdoor sanctuary. The kitchen features eco-friendly flooring, a chic new backsplash, and a cleverly designed pantry. On the main floor, two generous bedrooms and a stylish full bath await, along with a delightful library filled with bookshelves for cozy reading retreats. A well-equipped laundry room with ample storage and another full bathroom completes the first level. Upstairs, discover the serene primary suite, a full bath, and an additional bedroom with the potential to add an en suite full bathroom. The detached, oversized, two-car garage boasts a finished recreation room above, perfect as a play space, media room, home gym or large office. In the backyard, the entertaining ideas enfold further with a stone patio and outdoor fireplace surrounded by charming stonework and ambient lighting—ideal for a relaxing evening...with a cocktail and a guitar. Nestled in a highly sought-after neighborhood with a vibrant calendar of annual community events and just a stroll away from Decatur Square, this gem truly offers the best of lifestyle and location.
