Prized estate home on stunning, flat, private lot. Perfectly situated on the bend of a beloved quiet street, this historically inspired home is a charming and gracious 3-story masterpiece. Drive under the porte cochere to see the breathtaking, very rare flat walk out backyard on this 0.6 acre parcel. Detailed architectural and landscape pool plans are fully in place and waiting to be enacted. This was the largest lot in phase two of historic Glenwood Estates, originally built in 1947 as a charming cottage, and amplified in 2004 by a builder-owner for their personal home. The large keeping room kitchen flows seamlessly both visually and physically to the covered back veranda, granite patio, and fire pit. Stroll past the large flat grassy yard to find a wooded area to explore, complete with a shingled workshop/toolshed and additional party patio. This home features top quality interior craftsmanship and finishes. Kitchen features Parisian limestone tile, honed granite countertops, Ann Sacks accent tile, La Canche double oven stove, professional grade hood, and a Herbeau porcelain farm sink on the central large kitchen island. Large living room opens nicely to the kitchen with a smooth limestone wood burning fireplace for the cool nights flanked by soapstone-topped built in firewood-storage benches. The first floor has two additional rooms- great for main level guest bedroom, offices, or tv room/den, and a full bathroom. Architecturally stunning stairs winding from the main floor to the third floor are centrally located in the home, allowing natural light to bounce through the levels. The second floor landing graciously welcomes you with access to 4 bedrooms; 3 guest bedrooms access a double full bath with separate sink/toilet areas, and the primary bedroom suite has peaceful backyard views, a large walk in closet, and private ensuite bathroom. Continue on to the third level to two additional rooms great for playrooms, offices, or additional bedrooms. Beloved neighborhood adjacent to Glenlake Park, schools, pool/playground, trails, downtown Decatur and more. Such a rare opportunity in City of Decatur!
