Description

One of a kind Mid-Century Modern masterpiece, custom restored with attention to detail and design. This incredible private retreat is nestled on an almost acre wooded lot near Emory, CDC, CHOA, VA hospitals, DeKalb Tennis Center and Mason Mill Park (with extensive walking trails) and downtown Decatur. This incredible home has a unique layout, soaring ceilings and lots of natural light from 76 oversized windows and skylights. The iron pivot front door welcomes you to the vaulted foyer with an accent wall and skylight. Off the foyer is flex space with a fireplace can be used as an office or guest bedroom, with an adjacent half bath. Enter the open concept dining area with board-and-batten accent wall from the foyer. A sunken living room with a wall of windows and a convenient wet bar adjoins the dining area. The modern chef's kitchen features a large central island, quartz countertops, wine cooler, high tech refrigerator and walk-in pantry. The spacious owner's suite is located in a private wing of the main level of the home. It features a fireplace, sitting area, beamed ceilings, dual closets, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the wooded front yard, and a walkout deck perfect for enjoying the expansive private back yard. The spa-like bathroom has a rainfall shower, separate soaking tub and skylights. The terrace level includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and ample additional space (with exterior entrance at driveway level) that can be used as a den, living room, exercise space or whatever your imagination conjures up! The top level of this home has an additional bedroom with ensuite full bath w/glassed walk-in shower. Completing the interior spaces is a private area with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases, custom seating and its own balcony, ideal for a library or media room. The outside space of this urban oasis is as stunning as the interior. An enormous custom wraparound deck covers the entire backside of the home, with grand views of the in-ground teardrop pool, poolside deck (perfect for grilling, al fresco dining and entertaining), and a fully fenced wooded back yard that extends as far as the eye can see. The property includes a two-car garage with plenty of additional storage room, and ample driveway parking as well. Dual HVAC systems are approximately 4 years old. Owners have completed about $100K in upgrades and improvements since they purchased in 2023 -- including complete roof and skylight replacement, flagstone footpath to pool, complete fencing of back yard, improved drainage system for terrace level and new water heater.
