1440 Vista Leaf Drive, Decatur

Tucked away in the quiet part of the neighborhood, now priced below the appraised value, this may be one of the most enticing properties you'll find on the market today. Through thoughtful detailed renovation the homeowners have transformed a lovely, but dark, classic Leafmore ranch into a wide open light-filled retreat that feels like home the minute you walk in. Opening up the closed-in spaces was certainly a big part of it, but they didn't stop there. A show stopper of a kitchen with all the bells and whistles was a must-have, and knowing how enjoyable it is gazing out at the back yard birds and butterflies, why not triple that view? The next stroke of genius was to do away with the antiquated garage laundry closet by creating a bright mud room entrance from the carport with space for a full size washer and dryer, a handy utility sink, an extra fridge, and the perfect spot to tuck coats and shoes neatly out of sight. With three graciously sized bedrooms and two beautiful baths, the home is nearly perfect on its own, but when you add the park-like back yard with its meandering walking paths and landscaping designed to bloom in all seasons, you're bordering on perfection. With its nearly stepless entries and level lot, you really owe it to yourself to check it out in person. You won't be disappointed.
