Step inside this cottage-style home to an inviting mix of originality, desirability and accessibility. Warmth and comfort and vintage charm will embrace you as you create lasting memories with loved ones. Watch the world go by from your covered front porch, high above the street below. Or enjoy the tranquility of the backyard oasis, a shady retreat after a long day. A beautiful original granite fireplace anchors the front living room. The adjoining kitchen leads to a vaulted addition, currently used as a dining room and music listening area but could for sure be a family room. A bedroom at the top of the stairs would make a great office — like working from a tree house! Two main level bedrooms benefit from beautiful natural light. The back bedroom features a built-in window seat to soak up the sun and watch the birds flit around the backyard. An additional room, currently used as a home office, is also on the main level—stackable washer/dryer are conveniently located in a closet in this room. A fully accessible bathroom with curbless shower adjoins this room and also opens to the front hall. In the backyard, a covered deck with a potting shed overlooks the home place sanctuary. You can almost hear the fire cracking in the fire pit on chilly spring nights. Terrific location with easy sidewalk strolls to the top-notch City Schools of Decatur (Winnona Park Elementary, Beacon Hill Middle, Decatur High) as well as to Oakhurst Village and downtown Decatur.
