This retreat in a quiet, woody pocket in Valley Brook Estates in North Decatur has niceties only hinted at from the curb, with its shaker shingles and wide front porch. More treasures are inside this 5-bed, 3-bath wonder. Walk into an open floorplan main level, with a kitchen -- finished with stainless appliances and Bianco Carrara marble backsplashes -- divided from the living space by a peninsula counter. The area spills through French doors to a roomy back deck, where you'll find views of a large, fenced yard dotted with trees and boulders. A door from the living space connects to the owner suite, with walk-in closet, a private door to the deck, and spa-style bathroom, finished with Carrara Chateau marble, double-vanity and a large spa shower. The second floor's surprises include a wet bar (easily made into a kitchenette to create a full suite for in-laws or au pair), an open living space, bathroom, two bedrooms, plus an enormous walk-in closet. The home's basement level boasts even more finished space, including a spot perfect for a media room, craft space, or yoga studio. The enclosed garage adds even more square footage for your whims, or it can easily be converted back to a garage, offering additional parking to the carport. And it's all on the edge of Decatur's many charms and pockets of good restaurants, like Corner Cup Coffee, Pea Ridge Kitchen, and Madras Mantra Decatur, all less than a mile away.
