Welcome to this circa 1921 bungalow just steps from the Decatur Square in the Clairemont Historic District. Leila Ross Wilburn designed this handsome brick home to provide a large front porch entry with heavy cornice brackets and brick balusters. The home is still as inviting as it was when built, with a formal entrance hall with an elegant glass door with transom windows and sidelights. Columns in the central hallway separate the spacious living room with fireplace and original built-in bookcases. From the gracious foyer you can see through the triple windows along the rear of the home and into the large fenced in backyard. The breakfast room includes the original butler's pantry and leads to the kitchen that has been expanded. Graceful driveway leads to a large backyard with plenty of parking and turn around space. Don't miss this piece of Decatur History that is waiting for you to make your own.
