A Decatur Design Award-Winner, this newly-renovated home is just steps from Downtown Decatur. The interior rivals location with built-ins and a fireplace in the light-filled living room. A separate dining room adjoins an eat-in kitchen open to a screened porch overlooking the fenced, level backyard with cobblestone patio, potting shed, and beautiful landscaping. Dual master suites deliver comfort on both levels with a lux marble bath and walk-in closet on the main. 3 additional bedrooms, a laundry room, and a family room complete the upper level of this home.
