This magazine-worthy, 1940's brick tutor residence in the Great Lakes neighborhood of Decatur was transformed from top to bottom with a full renovation by Terracotta Design Build. It's no surprise this sophisticated home reborn with rich attention to detail and modern style received the 2022 Historic Preservation Design Award from the City of Decatur. Masterful architecture charms each passerby of this corner lot property with two elegant primary entryways including the main front entry with an arched brick portico, and a side entry with a Parisian metal awning. Inside the home, tasteful European influence and functionality are woven into each living area with plentiful windows for natural light, and upgraded modern conveniences including hidden outlets, USB ports and remote-controlled ceiling fans. On the main floor, the generously sized main living room showcases a lovely marble fireplace between arched built- in's and opens to the home's centerpiece kitchen with sleek white custom cabinetry, high-end hardware, Thermador 6-burner gas range, concealed refrigerator, pale gray smooth marble backsplash and countertops surrounding a gorgeous breakfast island. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room's vaulted ceiling, dramatic iron chandelier and tall windows line up to overlook the fully fenced in backyard with professional mature landscaping. French doors lead you onto a deck and gray paver patio, making the seamless flow to the open air perfect for entertaining and family gatherings both large and small. The refreshing half-bath on the main level lets visitors feel welcome. Down the hall from the kitchen is the serene master bedroom with windows to the greenery of the backyard and spa-like master bathroom with light quartz double vanity, oversized glass shower, separate toilet room, and custom-built walk-in closet. From the main living room up the staircase, the 2 nd floor opens to reveal an exceptional configuration of additional bright living spaces. A central open area is perfect for a home office, or playroom, and two spacious bedrooms, several storage closets, good sized laundry room with wash basin, and a splendid large full bathroom with double-vanity, custom cabinetry and modern bathtub shower combination offer a wealth of possibilities. A floored basement as well as a pull-down attic provides more storage indoors for holiday and seasonal items, and outside, a picturesque potter's shed rests at the backyard's edge, a great place for your gardening tools, bikes or kayaks. This neighborhood's fully side-walked streets allow for an easy stroll to Glenlake Park's tennis, pool and recreation areas, Clairemont Elementary, and downtown Decatur for local coffee, dining, boutiques and festivals. Also, a short commute to Emory, CDC, Midtown and downtown Atlanta, this unique property is a must-see.
