Whether you want your days bathed in natural light or your evening bristling with entertainment – inside or out – this 2-story, 4-bedroom traditional home in Glenwood Estates makes every day feel like a getaway, just 6 blocks from Decatur Square. Hosting a party? Choose your gathering space: a dining area with picture windows and skylights, a huge wraparound deck, a basement with wine cellar, gym, and media/lounge area, a fire pit across a creek near the back of the 0.8-acres. After solace instead? Hang out near the fire pit or traverse the woods to a trail tying to nearby Glenlake Park and Decatur Cemetery then come back for a bottle of wine and a soak in the owner suite tub (in a luxurious bathroom that also offers walk-in shower and dual pedestal sinks). The kitchen is a spacious, with stainless appliances, oversized fridge, stone counters, and wet bar sink with wine chiller. A Florida room, aglow with daylight, has seating enough for even the biggest family’s Sunday brunch. Find other luxury treatments throughout, like wainscoting and tile in the home’s 3½ bathrooms, the built-in owner suite wardrobe, a sunroom-style foyer framed in picture windows. All this is just a 10-minute walk from all the shopping, dining, and other wonders of downtown.
