About this home
This property can be purchased in combination with the vacant lot next door. There are addresses, and then there are addresses. 120 South Candler is the latter. Set on one of Decatur's most storied corridors, this home sits directly across from Agnes Scott College, brick towers, magnolias, and a century of Southern academic gravity right outside your front door. It is the kind of view that doesn't depreciate. Out the other direction, Downtown Decatur is right down the street: the restaurants, the farmers market, the energy, and yet the home's deep setbacks pull it back from all of it, preserving a sense of quiet that feels almost impossible this close to the center of things. The house itself reads like a time capsule. A single-family home that has spent years as a duplex, it has been maintained with the kind of care that preserves rather than erases, original hardwood floors intact, heavy trim undisturbed, high ceilings still drawing the eye upward the way they were meant to. The front porch anchors the street presence with the ease of something designed before porches became an afterthought. At the rear, a sun room catches the light in a way that feels deliberate, generous, almost indulgent. The bones are exceptional. The opportunity is wide open. Bring it back to the single-family home it was born to be, or reimagine it entirely. This is a property that rewards vision. The history is already here. The rest is yours to write....
