416 2nd Avenue Decatur GA 30030 MLS #7571814

Representing the best of the American Bungalow style, this brick beauty with its welcoming front porch and protective porte cochere is drenched in sunlight and natural beauty. Thoughtfully expanded by its current longtime owners, the home has been enlarged at a proper scale to meet modern living without sacrificing its architectural integrity. Much strategic planning created a true indoor/outdoor existence to maximize multiple zones for entertaining and leisure. The seamless addition follows the original floor plan featuring double cased openings between the public rooms, uninterrupted sightlines from front door to rear gardens, warm hardwood floors and lovely matching trim. 2 decorative fireplaces anchor both the living room and front bedroom. Original hall bathroom was renovated to honor and reflect the home’s vintage. Both secondary bedrooms are centered by the hall bath. The kitchen/family room is a true delight!  Generous cabinetry plus separate food pantry, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops are accentuated by recessed lighting and charming Craftsman pendants above the breakfast peninsula. Extensive shelving straddles the kitchen and family room, visually separated by the discreet entrance to the primary suite. Prairie-style french doors beckon all to the quaintest screened porch in Oakhurst!  The Primary Suite is a true sanctuary! Comfortably separated from the other bedrooms, this also connects to the screened porch with its own set of  Prairie style double doors. The SPA quality bathroom features an enormous ‘wetroom’ shower/soaking tub with high-placed natural light for privacy, oversized sink counter and storage, heated floors and large walk-in closet. Both front and back yards have been beautifully curated over the years. Newly refreshed for the next proud owner, wonderful stone and pebble paths lead to multiple garden spots, stone terrace off the porch, tidy green lawn area and the fire pit zone at the rear of the property, all visible from back half of home as this is a hard to find, walk-out backyard! You’ll never get bored living in this home, but when you decide to venture out, dinner, drinks, coffee and a thriving social scene is just steps away. Oakhurst Village offers a variety of amenities to help you leave the car home. ‘Sister’ district HOSEA & 2ND is just a couple blocks south.
GOODNESS IN EVERY DIRECTION! Open Sunday May 4.. 12noon to 2pm.
