Outside, an impeccably maintained brick exterior conveys a sense of mid-century charm. It’s a fairly private little place, too: a large front yard provides separation from what is already a quiet little street; out back, the gently sloping, oversized yard is dotted with old-growth trees. Throw in a concrete terrace and a full privacy fence for an ideal grilling spot and plenty of room for the dog to sniff around.  

Functional Kitchen

Inside, flow-through modularity is the name of the game. The front of the home has a western exposure, allowing natural light to flood indoors from the living room, through to the dining space (the French doors are a great touch), and into a thoroughly functional, stainless steel-equipped kitchen. A pair of bedrooms, accompanied by a shared full bath, round out the downstairs.

Light-filled Bedroom

Upstairs? This is where the imagination can run a little wild. The master bedroom is on the second floor, and with a neighboring full bath, evening rituals can stay streamlined sans staircase. Also upstairs, an L-shaped additional space, which occupies half of the entire upper level. With three beds and two baths already taken care of, this room elevates this starter home to another level entirely. These days, an oversized, fully functional home office for two is a natural starting point. But, have you ever wanted... a photography studio? A library? A home gym? Heck, an extra wall can easily divide this space into two additional rooms (still with plenty of closet space left to spare). It’s all about where your passions lay. 

Flexible Upstairs Space

Summary

Combined with a location just minutes away from Decatur (close to the action, but far enough away to still have the tranquility of a quiet neighborhood), 1200 Walker Drive strikes a pretty appealing balance for those investigating that elusive “elevated starter home with room to grow into” category.
