Property Description

Welcome to a rare Leila Ross Wilburn-designed 1915 duplex with a 2 car garage, carriage house, 2 car carport, and basement. This exceptionally well maintained home oozes vintage character with modern updates, offering endless versatility while being 3/4 of a mile away from award-winning City of Decatur schools, MARTA, and Downtown Decatur. Whether you're dreaming of passive income, a house-hack haven, or creating a single-family masterpiece, this stately all-brick home delivers on every front. Each level features a thoughtfully renovated 2 bed, 1.5 bath layout with beautifully preserved architectural details, including original hardwood floors, tall baseboards, solid wood trim, and two working fireplaces. The upper unit boasts a sleeping porch and a private back deck-perfect for relaxing mornings with coffee or unwinding after a long day. The lower unit includes an eat-in kitchen and was recently set up as a 3 bedroom unit using the large, formal dining space. Both kitchens and baths have had significant updates, bespoke cabinetry, and new appliances that blend seamlessly with the home's period character. There's even a spacious basement and a fully floored attic for storage rarely found in modern houses. Each unit has its own laundry. The installed Ring automation package provides security for the property; it's just one of the many thoughtful tech upgrades you'll find throughout the house! Live in one unit and rent the other, convert the home to a gracious single-family residence by opening the existing interior staircase, or maximize income with a full rental strategy that includes the detached garage apartment. Currently used as an office, this space is primed to become a charming studio apartment or full ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) with a kitchen addition-ideal for in-laws, short-term guests, or added income. The large storage space above the two-car carport, plus the large conditioned garage below provide tons of flexibility, whether you need a home workspace, creative studio, or storage galore. Located in one of Decatur's most desirable neighborhoods, this home is a short stroll to Oakhurst Village, the East Lake MARTA station, and Decatur's vibrant downtown scene. Zoned for top-rated City of Decatur schools, it offers the rare blend of urban connectivity and historic charm that today's buyers crave. Some photos are virtually staged.
