    What's special

    Southern charm at its essence. 3-story custom brick perched among the trees on serene Seneca St, overlooking Waddell Park and nestled in the heart of the City of Decatur's coveted Great Lakes neighborhood & award-winning school district. A hidden oasis in the city, this treehouse is a tranquil retreat steps from the many conveniences of city living. Walk Everywhere¬--Downtown Decatur, Glenlake Park (w/playground, pool, tennis & dog park), Decatur Cemetery (58 acres of greenspace), Clairemont Elementary, public transportation (including MARTA) & endless dining/retail options. An entertainer's dream unlike anything you've seen, this home offers 3,480 sf of architectural distinction in an airy, light-filled sophisticated setting with elegant moldings, newly refinished hardwoods & custom built-ins throughout.

Impress dinner guests with the dining room view while effortlessly moving through the adjoining butler's pantry, wet bar & updated eat-in chef's kitchen. Watch jaws drop when guests glimpse the thick-slab Carrara marble bar & countless kitchen/family room delicacies. Open the French doors and step into your exquisitely landscaped backyard sanctuary, where you'll entertain with ease under the cathedral-shaped pergola. Partake in fall's finest, from watching football on the stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, to grilling brats on the Green Egg in your custom outdoor kitchen. Transform yourself to Cashiers in the rear garden with its pristine pondless waterfall & firepit. Inside, you'll find 4 upstairs bedrooms including a luxurious owner's suite with spa-like bathroom & large WIC. Finished basement with den & private in-law suite steps off the 2-car garage/workshop.
