Tucked away on one of Glennwood Estates’ most desired, lightly traveled streets, this modern cottage offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and walkability in the heart of the City of Decatur. Set on a deep, wooded lot, the setting feels peaceful and tucked in — yet you’re just minutes from the Square and everything that makes Decatur so loved. A welcoming front porch leads into a fireside formal living room, where old-world character meets thoughtful updates. Just off the main living space, an office or library opens to a cozy screened side porch — the kind of spot made for slow mornings and coffee in hand. The renovated kitchen is bright and beautifully appointed with classic shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a 36-inch gas range, and generous island and peninsula seating. It flows seamlessly into a comfortable living room with a converted gas fireplace, tray ceiling, and built-in cabinetry — an easy, elegant space for everyday living and entertaining. Refinished hardwoods run throughout the main level, connecting each room with warmth and continuity. The open dining area showcases detailed woodwork and original built-ins, honoring the home’s character. The primary suite on the main level feels like a retreat, complete with separate closets, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. A secondary bedroom and full bath also sit on the main floor, offering flexibility for guests. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a thoughtfully updated bath with double vanity — plenty of room to grow, study, or host friends. The terrace level adds even more versatility with a recreation space and built-in loft bed, perfect for movie nights or play. It can easily convert back to garage space if desired and includes additional storage plus a walk-out crawlspace. And then there’s the back deck — expansive, covered, and complete with a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the fenced, wooded backyard. It’s the kind of outdoor living space you’ll use year-round.
