Built in 1910 and designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, one of America's first female architects, this Melrose Avenue home makes an impression from the curb, with a wrought iron fence, established garden, and soft pink exterior. A classic Southern front porch runs the width of the home, made for slow afternoons and conversations with passing neighbors. Inside, the historic detail is everywhere you look: original pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, and craftsman windows that pour light into every room. Three bedrooms, one bath, and two living spaces leave room for a proper living room and a formal dining room, or whatever configuration suits you. Out back, a quaint covered porch overlooks a large, fully fenced yard. It's quiet, private, and made for everyday use. Melrose is one of the most coveted streets in 30030, and the location lives up to it. You're on a quiet block within walking distance of downtown Decatur and some of Atlanta's best restaurants and coffee shops like Brick Store, Iberian Pig, Jeni's, and B Side Coffee among them. Inman Park, BeltLine access, and Emory are all less than a ten-minute drive.
