1402 McLendon Dr, Decatur, GA 30033

Yes, Georgie, you CAN afford to live here, because this contemporary, picture-perfect ranch in HOT HOT North Decatur has an in-law suite that makes a perfect INCOME property! (yes, we know that it's baking hot outside right now - that's not what we meant!) Of course you're tired of driving through Decatur as you trek to the burbs, wistfully looking at all the cute neighborhoods and thinking, "If only I could already BE HOME!" Now you can! From the minute you reach the rocking-chair front porch and open the door to see the large living room with vaulted ceilings, you'll want to grab that mint julep and sit down for a sip of comfort as you take in the modern, open space separated by a beautiful fireplace and decide where you will place all your favorite art on the expansive walls. On your right, you'll find a large bedroom, just perfect for someone you love! It's just a step to your left to your own sweet retreat: Enjoy total privacy in the primary bedroom with a waltz-in closet and ensuite bath. You could stay here forever - even set up your home office - but you've got to eat! If you love to cook, you'll love this kitchen: it's time to break in that stunning new gourmet 6-burner gas range. As you flip through recipes, you can water the plants and herbs growing in the bay window above the sink. Once dinner is ready, where will you eat? Will you join your partner, who kept you company from the barstool seating of the beautiful new quartz counters; or will you have a table next to the huge picture window overlooking the back yard? This home also has an area once designated the "dining room," - but maybe that's your hobby station. Do you prefer to dine al fresco on the large, low-maintenance Trex Deck (maybe not in July or August - but soon, Georgie, soon). Your fur kids will love the easy steps to the back yard. If they are not escape artists, you can watch them whoop and play in the large back yard (mostly fenced); or, you can sit with them in the fenced side yard. Who gets the other large bedroom? They will love the bathroom - it has a tub AND shower - a fully-tiled, stepless shower, designed for anyone, and accessible for everyone! The bathroom features a wide door and enough room for a wheelchair. As you sip that julep at the end of the day, you might not hear the wheels of finance turning or know if anyone else is home, but the terrace-level apartment is your moneymaker. It's almost a second house: two bedrooms, living room and large sit-in kitchen, spacious bathroom, private deck and a separate entrance. Who gets this space? Whether it's your brother or best friend, local barista or visiting profs, the rent you collect will make that mortgage payment easier! Air BnB was started to enable hospitable homeowners share their homes with paying visitors. That's right, Georgie, INCOME PROPERTY! When you get up in the morning and want to shake off the heavy dinner and wine, it's just one block to the Corner Cup Coffee shop. ITP is a GREAT place to call home, and now, Georgie, you CAN.
