This gorgeous 3-bedroom brick home features the charm of bygone days with quality and comforts you expect from a modern house. From the curb of a quiet, tree-lined street in Decatur’s strollable Chelsea Heights, it sits atop a terraced and landscaped front lawn. Tucked beside it at the end of a private drive is a fully finished carriage house offering an additional bedroom and bath and 1-car garage, for a total of 4/3. Stunning detailing throughout: wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, lovely crown molding, glass doorknobs. Outdoor lovers will pine for the sun room, the screened back porch, or the open patio in a private back yard. A kitchen apportioned with high-end stainless appliances and marble counters joins the dining room via a breakfast bar. The charming master bedroom boasts two closets and french doors leading to a large en-suite bathroom with double vanity, walk-in glass shower, private water closet, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms here share a hall bath. Best bonus: The 2-story carriage house with 1-car garage, workout studio, storage space and full bathroom on the ground floor, and a large open area for home office or fourth bedroom above. The main house also features a partial basement and attic, both with stairs, that offer more storage options.
