Rarely available unit in sought after Sycamore Square. This small townhome community is just 2 blocks from the shops and restaurants of vibrant Downtown Decatur yet tucked off one of its most historically significant and beautiful streets, Sycamore St. Built in the late 60's, this completely renovated unit has almost a loft-like feel with original exposed brick walls both in the living room and the bedrooms upstairs. The thoughtful renovations include the chef's kitchen with all new stainless appliances and quartzite taj mahal countertops, now bright and opened towards the living area. All new baths including the main floor powder room featuring limestone floors. The woodburning fireplace in the living area rests on a diagonal wall, yet another design feature from the original construction. Hardwood floors are throughout and there is a brand new HVAC system and all new windows. The renovations also included moving the main floor washer/dryer to the upstairs by creating a new laundry room. This home faces the beautiful landscaped central courtyard in front and private, quiet, enclosed courtyard in the rear, plus an oversized double garage beyond. Truly a beautiful home that can be enjoyed for years to come with no detail overlooked.
