Welcome to 884 Vistavia Circle, a rare midcentury modern Decatur property that gives you all the beauty of living in the woods without the hassle of maintaining a yard. The custom dryscaped front yard is thoughtfully designed with stone, slate, and plantings that thrive with little care. No grass to mow, no weekend yard work, just pure curb appeal. Inside, light-filled living spaces flow easily from the updated kitchen to the dining and living rooms, all opening onto a treetop deck perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. The primary suite is a serene escape with its spa-like bath, and two additional bedrooms share a beautifully finished hall bath. But the real bonus? A fully independent lower level apartment with its own exterior entrance. It includes a full kitchen, dining area, living room, laundry, one bedroom, and one bath, ideal for house hacking, short- or long-term rental income, or private guesta quarters. The unfinished portion of the basement offers even more possibilities: connect it to the main house to expand your living space, add a second bedroom to the apartment for more rental revenue, or create the ultimate workshop, gym, or studio. With three levels of decks and patios, this home is designed to connect you to its wooded surroundings at every turn. Updates include a new roof (2022), multi-zone HVAC (2021), Tesla charger, and mudroom with built-in storage and dog door. Just steps from Lullwater Nature Preserve and a block from W. D. Thomson Park, you're minutes from Emory, CDC, and Toco Hill shopping while feeling worlds away from the bustle. This home is a true opportunity: low-maintenance living with built-in income potential and endless ways to make the space your own.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
