Conceived by the owner's love of classic architecture, designed by Eric Rothman and built by master craftsmen on a 1.4 acre lot, 712 West Ponce delivers the essence of a manor home. Slate, Limestone, wooden beams and weathered slabs of concrete set the tone for this formal, but extremely livable home on Decatur's Grand Ave, an easy stroll to the City Centre. Through the double oak doors, into the open foyer, you are drawn to the 2nd floor by the curve of the stair, and to the hearth of the home by a simple step down. Nothing left to chance. No disappointment. Welcome.
