Great size? Great location? Great price? The mythical unicorn does exist! Only 1 block from Glen Lake Park and Pool, less than half a mile from the Decatur square, and across the street from Clairemont Elementary School. This home began as a small 1940 bungalow. An addition/renovation designed by architect William Carpenter in 2006 brought this home into the 21st century. What is behind these walls is almost as exciting as the location. Upgraded spray insulation, upgraded electrical, surround sound and much more. Bring your design ideas and make this your dream home!
