Charming original details in this beautifully updated home, within walking distance to downtown Decatur. The home was fully renovated (to the studs) in 2012, with all new everything (except the old-world charms of a 1940s cottage). Original hardwoods line the floors, with original wood-burning masonry fireplace in the living room, complete with original mantle piece. The fireplace draws as good as any weve ever seen. Original hardware garnish the solid core doors, with glass handle knobs and brass finishings.The main living and dining areas are lined with windows, and open to the up-to-date kitchen. The well-equipped kitchen has solid surface (granite) countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, butcher block island, and gas range (with hood). The kitchen is also filled with windows, which overlook the expansive, well-landscaped backyard. (Perfect for opening and yelling at children that its time for dinner). There is a laundry closet with full-sized washer and dryer. The approximately 1-year-old washer and dryer go with the house, unless you dont want them.Two main floor bedrooms are well proportioned with nice size closets and windows letting in great light. The downstairs bathroom has the original, pinwheel white and black tile. There is a coat closet just off the hall.Upstairs is the owners suite. The attic staircase turns slightly into the dining area, with an original block-wood newel postold world craftsmanship thats hard to recreate.The owners suite is filled with light, windows looking onto the backyard. A well-placed oak tree greets you each morning. The sunlight coming in through the leaves. Cardinals, songbirds, and squirrel friends can be seen feet away. The owners suite has three large closets, with wood shelving. The bathroom is fully renovated with a double sink, a large shower, and built-in cabinetry. An upstairs attic space lines the home, with plenty of room for storage. (There are also two additional storage spaces under the home!)The outdoor areas may be the key to this charming home. There is a concrete patio, with built in picnic table. The oak tree provides shade, making this space useable year-round.An extra bonus in this back yard is the concrete block studio. The original owners used it as a wood shop. The current owners affectionately call it the School Shed, where their children spent the pandemic virtually learning. How will you use this space? A workshop, home office, greenhouse, art studio, childrens play place, or storage? There are lots of things you can do with this extra space!The fully fenced in backyard is large (approximately 160 feet x 60 feet). It has a fescue lawn, flagstone firepit, and giant boulder wall. The Tennessee granite boulders are massive, with places for plantings in between and a great natural play area for children. Native plants line the back yard, with jasmine bushes, rosemary, and tea olives filling the yard with lovely scents year-round. Not to be outdone, the front yard has a large porch, perfect for the placement of rocking chairs. There are two magnolia trees whose year-round green foliage and large blooms sit next to dogwoods and azaleas. Theres simply no way to be in this home and not feel Southern charm and peace from nature.The neighbors in the community are friendly. Many have children and gardens. The sidewalk lined streets will be filled with folks walking and talking. Youll make new friends in no time. We look forward to being one of them.
