737 Clairemont Ave, Decatur, GA 30030

This splendid 1930s brick Tudor on the sought-after corridor of Clairemont Ave near the City of Decatur's downtown square exudes charming curb appeal with historic allure and tasteful updates. Set back from the street on a deep nearly one-acre lot, you feel like you've stepped into an English garden, entering the fully enclosed front yard with its white picket fence. Greeted by an outdoor front terrace, a perfect place for morning coffee, the lovely arched brick portico entryway welcomes you into the one-level property. Fresh neutral paint, all new elegant lighting fixtures, and dark hardwoods are throughout the home. At the front of the house are several large living spaces, all light-filled by bountiful windows. These include an oversized living room with gorgeous built-in bookcases and wood burning fireplace, a large central dining room for entertaining friends and family, and an additional sun-filled office with crisp white French doors leading to a spectacular gray-washed brick sunroom, ready for afternoon tea and a good book, or wine in the evenings. Each bedroom has ample closet space for storage, and one includes an additional cedar-lined closet for special linens. The gourmet kitchen includes a 6-burner downdraft gas cooktop and convection oven, granite countertops, modern dark gray cabinetry, sleek lighting, and an extra-large kitchen island, adjacent to a beautiful lofted ceiling breakfast room with built-in bench seating. Both boast large windows and French doors looking out onto the extensive back deck, providing an easy flow for al fresco lounging, parties, and family events. If you have visions of expansion, the clean unfinished basement with over 1,000 sqft and this property's deep lot provides plenty of opportunities within the home or for a garage carriage house. Parking is not an issue, with four designated spots at the rear of the home, including room for turnaround. Walking distance from Woodland Gardens, City of Decatur Schools, downtown Decatur's shops and restaurants, and nearby the CDC and Emory, this special property won't last long!
