This unique and pleasing retreat was designed and built in 1936 by architect Mr. Myers as his personal home. The textured brick exterior, walkways, patios, partial copper roof hint at what is inside. The first space you pass is the gatehouse, a 13.2x11.2 party room or "she shed" with brick floor; neither heated nor cooled but could easily be done. Then stroll through the covered walkway past the relaxing garden patio to the front entrance. When you step inside you will notice the vaulted ceiling, wooden circular staircase to the master bedroom loft, and marble tile floor in the dining area and kitchen, and the updated cabinetry and granite counter tops in the kitchen. Master bedroom loft is spacious with split bathroom. The basement is mostly finished with a bedroom and family room, full bathroom, and walk-in cedar lined closet. Tile flooring in the kitchen, dining room, and half bath is imported marble. Wood flooring in the master bathroom is bamboo. Replacement windows.
One block from Lake Decatur. Front of home overlooks open park property with walking path. Nearly 3/4 acre lot. Master bedroom (loft) is open and overlooks living room. Offers Privacy. Large walk in dressing area. Lower level theatre room. Newer sliders and deck off kitchen. Most windows replaced. Much of house updated in 2008. OTHER room is 3 season room with brick flooring located off courtyard. Fenced yard
