431 Landover Drive, Decatur

Just from this home’s exposed-beam front porch – complete with swing – and lovely craftsman front door, it’s clear this is no austere mid-century Decatur living space. Open the door and find more proof: the exposed-beam treatments continue through an expansive living room brimming with natural light from three large windows. It’s a place built on the strong bones and unassuming design of a bygone era but full of wonderful surprises. Space has maximized, including a finished second story that’s undetectable from the exterior. In all, find 4 bedroom, 3 baths, 2-car garage and an in-ground pool out back – all just a few quiet blocks from retail centers on Decatur Road. Stainless appliances and stone counters and backsplash finish the kitchen, adjacent to a dedicated breakfast with bench-storage seating beneath a picture window. The primary suite is on the main and includes a cozy reading nook to let you ease into the day before making your way into the large bath with two vanities, glass-wall shower, and spa tub. Upstairs, the landing is a roomy common space lit by skylights, great as a reading room or TV space. A full bath is here, serving the two upstairs bedrooms. Overlooking the large backyard and pool is a deck, ready for evening grilling and entertaining. And all the features of Decatur living are close at hand to this choice location, including grocery stores, Decatur’s YMCA, varied casual dining, and the trail-laden Woodlands Garden sanctuary all just an easy walk or bike ride away.
