Welcome home to a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of Decatur. Custom-built in 2018 by award-winning Terracotta Design Build and featured in Atlanta Home Magazine, no small detail was overlooked in this timeless house offering the best of Decatur living in coveted Glennwood Estates. Perfectly positioned on a quiet, tree-lined street and set back on a nearly half-acre lot with a brand new saltwater pool and spa, it offers rare space, privacy, and connection — all within walking distance to parks, festivals, top-rated schools, restaurants, and shops.
Designed for modern living with enduring beauty, the home features 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and numerous flexible spaces across three finished levels. The home exudes charm with unique architectural details and luxury finishes, including 10' ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, interior transoms, cove molding, custom window treatments, designer wallpaper, and extensive built-ins.
Inside, formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, while a casual family room opens onto the vaulted screened-in porch through 10' custom steel doors. The adjacent kitchen is immaculate, featuring soapstone countertops, designer lighting, Ann Sacks backsplash to the ceiling, and a built-in dining area with custom bench. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the 48" Wolf range with Zephyr vent hood, built-in 42" Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele steam oven, two Bosch dishwashers, spacious island with seating, and scullery complete with warming drawer, beverage fridge, and antique doors leading to the walk-in food pantry. A multi-purpose library/music room, guest suite, and mudroom (featured in "S is for Style: The Schumacher Book of Decoration") complete the first floor.
Upstairs, a light-filled loft connects to the spacious primary suite with his/hers closets and a luxurious marble spa bath with custom vanities. Three additional bedrooms share two more bathrooms with classic tile and finishes for enduring appeal. All closets feature custom shelving and built-in storage, while a centrally located laundry room with sink adds everyday ease.
The daylight basement with 9' ceilings expands your living space with a large media room with 120" screen/projector, full-size gym, play area, additional bedroom/office, full bath, finished storage, and a show-stopping 2,000-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar with glass doors.
