Early 20th Century DecaturTudor Surprises with Style (Previously Listed) -

Perfectly positioned at 705 E Ponce de Leon Avenue in Decatur, Georgia this 3,000+/-square-foot gem was built in 1938. Exhibiting a seamless merge of then and now, the upgrades applied to the interior spaces flawlessly fuse together the early 20th-century charm of the home with modern-day niceties. Tudor, often referred to as “storybook style.”

The high-peaked sloping gables, arched front doorway and dormer window, visible on the fascia, are a few of the defining aspects, as well as the inviting front-side porch – which further classifies this home as distinctive of the period. Inside, an implied foyer hallway introduces the attractive hardwood flooring that lines the main level and brings the footpath directly into the living room, where an elegant fireplace occupies the space between two sunny windows. A broad archway to the right of the foyer signifies entry into the formal dining room that basks in the gentle natural lighting of two front windows and offers access to the porch.

Spanish quarry tiles drape the outside porch floor, complementing the arched brick frame that provides a cool, semi-private enclosure while still allowing for views of the surrounding neighborhood. A breakfast nook sits within a pseudo-turret-shaped space behind the porch with a bright window situated between built-in display cases. A second window affords a view to the porch delivering a shady low-light and softening the cozy space.

The updated kitchen features granite counters, matched to the tiled backsplash, and custom wood cabinets that charmingly frame the stainless steel appliances, including a commercial-grade Wolf oven/cooktop and pot filler. A second display cabinet hangs over a wet bar, complete with prep sink, wine cooler and ice maker.

The master bedroom is the picture-perfect example of this style of home. The intimate sleeping quarters are bordered with a uniquely patterned ceiling decor, while a mini-cathedral ceiling defines a reading nook at the back of the room. In the master bath, more romantic spaces await with sloped ceilings, the interior side of a dormer window and a claw foot tub, while a portion of the brick chimney cuts through the wall leaving beautiful exposed brick. Modern updates include tile flooring, dual sinks set with a Granite and wood cabinet vanity and recessed lighting with separate tiled shower. The bonus area is both spacious and airy with the glass walls, sky lights and plethora of windows.

Out back, a brick paved courtyard and fenced-in grassy lawn with professional decorative landscape, provides ample space for outdoor activities. A detached garage adds even more charm to this one-of-a-kind home and is easy in-and-out access with the entrance on Glenn Court, the side street of this generous corner lot.

This home will definitely choose its buyer, beckoning to whomever is fortunate enough to be nominated to take up residence at 705 E Ponce de Leon Avenue in historic Decatur, Georgia.
