About this home
Classic Rowhouse Character in the Heart of Decatur Reminiscent of the timeless architectural character of a Brooklyn rowhouse, this distinctive brick townhome pairs traditional craftsmanship with the understated elegance and leafy tranquility of an established Decatur neighborhood, all within an easy, leisurely walk of vibrant Decatur Square. From its striking bay windows and intricate dentil molding to its transom windows, hardwood floors, and thoughtfully proportioned interiors, the home offers architectural details seldom found in newer construction. The main level flows from a light-filled front room through a centrally situated galley kitchen with white cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances to a generous living room anchored by a gas fireplace. French doors open onto a secluded deck framed by mature trees, creating a peaceful extension of the living space. Upstairs, the primary suite features newly installed hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, a private balcony, and a spacious bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. A second bedroom with its own en suite bath and expansive bay window completes the upper level. The versatile lower level offers a third bedroom, full bath, one-car garage, and additional storage or workshop space. The home's classic appeal is complemented by substantial recent improvements, including a new roof, HVAC system, water heater, attic insulation, and other thoughtful updates that offer the reassurance of modern comfort within a traditionally styled residence. Perhaps most compelling is the setting: a quiet, tree-lined residential enclave just a short stroll from Decatur Square, where independent shops, caf s, neighborhood bars, and acclaimed restaurants, including Michelin Guide-recognized destinations The White Bull, Kimball House, and The Deer and the Dove, create an exceptionally walkable urban experience. Nearby City Schools of Decatur campuses are also within walking distance, while convenient access to both the Decatur and Avondale MARTA rail stations connects the neighborhood to the broader Atlanta area. A distinctive combination of architectural character, modern convenience, and urban walkability, with the privacy of a traditional residence and the added freedom of no HOA.
Old Decatur Historic District, located between Decatur Square and Agnes Scott College, is a historic and walkable Decatur neighborhood with a courthouse-centered downtown and tree-lined residential streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Decatur Square at N McDonough St and E Ponce de Leon Ave, where patios, indie storefronts, and late-night marquees set the pace. Brick storefront blocks and preserved civic buildings frame a streetscape that reads like a small city center. Community pillars include the DeKalb History Center, Eddie’s Attic, and the Decatur Arts Alliance. Nearby greenspace at Decatur Cemetery and the PATH corridor adds a calm counterpoint to the café-and-theater rhythm. Side streets shift to early-20th-century homes, porches, and pocket gardens.

Welcome to this enchanting and private retreat in the middle of a picturesque, tree-lined street just moments from Decatur Square. Can a townhome close to the thriving City of Decatur be private? Your answer lies within the walls of 233 Sycamore Place. As you enter, the light-filled dining room will charm you with its bright bay window overlooking the mature green scape of the neighborhood. You can picture all of the lively gatherings in your future. Adjacent is the galley kitchen - with white cabinetry, light-speckled stone countertops and stainless-steel appliances - that opens to the living room and extends the full length of the back side of the home. The white stone fireplace is the sentinel of the room and is flanked by full-length windows and French doors that lead to the large deck with a woven, wood-stained privacy fence and more lush, green views above. Upstairs, find the oversized primary suite with its very own private balcony. The primary bathroom has a double vanity, a large soaking tub and an adjacent glass shower. The secondary bedroom has its own en suite bathroom and nicely-sized walk-in closet. As you go down to the terrace level, the third bedroom could also be a perfect office, home gym or studio, with its sweet street view. An updated, full bathroom is just across the hall. A one-car garage and a storage/workshop area complete the level. And with NO HOA, do you keep it for yourself or make it the perfect investment property? What a haven this home is in the heart of the City of Decatur.
