Located in Druid Hills’ charming Ridgeland Park, this Craftsman-style home invites with a welcoming front porch with ceiling fans, space for rocking chairs and hanging plants and overlooks the level front yard. Enter through the period-style wooden door into the foyer, where pristine hardwood floors flow into the flanking office/playroom with built-ins and the formal dining room with a coffered ceiling. A useful butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the gourmet kitchen. This incredible space features a large island with seating, abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen spills into the sun-drenched casual dining area and adjacent fireside family room with built-ins on either side of the fireplace. A convenient mudroom with cubbies and a built-in desk leads to the back porch, while a French door off the family room opens to the tranquil screened porch with a beadboard ceiling, a TV hookup and a ceiling fan- both overlooking the fenced, level backyard. The hardwood floors continue in the upstairs primary suite, which includes a spacious bedroom with a tray ceiling, a sunny office space with a French door for privacy, two walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom with a granite-topped double vanity, a soaking bathtub and a seamless glass shower. Three additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms with classic monochromatic design choices and a laundry room with shelving, cabinets, a sink and a countertop for folding completes the upper level. An incredible bonus with this home is the three-inch plantation shutters on every window – a timeless addition to each room. Venture outside to the sizeable paver-clad patio with a firepit – excellent for entertaining. A turfed play area with a swing set and a flat, gated driveway are perfect for play. The two-car garage includes a guest suite above with a large studio/bedroom with hardwood floors, board and batten wainscoting and a full bathroom. Located in sought-after Ridgeland Park, this home offers proximity to Glenlake Park and all the attractions of Downtown Decatur, including fantastic restaurants, boutiques, gyms, seasonal events and a MARTA rail station.
