About this home
Set in the heart of Glennwood Estates, this striking Craftsman contemporary offers the kind of space, light, and flexibility that makes everyday living feel easy. Just minutes from Decatur Square, neighborhood parks, and all of Decatur's favorite local spots, the location brings both privacy and connection. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the expansive main level, where large windows fill the home with natural light and thoughtful details like custom built-ins and unique fixtures add warmth and character. The living room is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace, creating a cozy focal point, while the open flow into the separate dining room makes entertaining feel effortless. Originally built in 1945, the home's plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems have been fully updated, blending classic architecture with the confidence of contemporary infrastructure. The kitchen is spacious and inviting, with a large center island, naturally finished wood cabinetry, a wine fridge, and abundant storage. Windows throughout keep the space bright and connected to the surrounding greenery. Just off the main living area, a flexible den or office can easily serve as a guest bedroom or work-from-home space. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with its own private balcony overlooking the trees, a large walk-in closet, and a spacious en-suite bath featuring dual vanities and a large frameless glass shower. Additional bedrooms offer room for family or guests, while the layout feels both open and functional. Above the detached two-car garage, a well-lit carriage house apartment adds incredible versatility with its own kitchen and spacious living area, perfect for long-term guests, a private studio, or potential rental income. Outside, the large private yard offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, and enjoy the peaceful setting. With timeless style, flexible living spaces, and one of Decatur's most loved locations, this home is a special find....
