1267 Thomas Road, Decatur

Serenity in the city. That's what you will experience with this gorgeous, custom-designed property. Located on a quiet, shady street that feels pleasantly secluded, yet only minutes from shopping, dining, and outdoor parks and recreation. The International City Farmer's Market is only a mile by car, and Dearborn and Legacy Parks are only a short walk away. Built in 2017 by a local architect, the modern craftsman design exudes timeless elegance and style, while offering a plethora of contemporary conveniences for today's discerning buyer. Every material chosen, from the gleaming hardwood floors, to the expansive quartz counters, to the custom bathroom tile, exhibits universal and lasting appeal. A two-car street-facing garage provides convenience and security, while the covered front porch invites neighborly chats over cold iced tea. Practical amenities like an instant water heater, gas fireplace and kitchen range, an encapsulated crawl space with a dehumidifier and air purifier, and HVAC pre-filter intakes offer unseen but far from unappreciated upgrades. A first-floor bedroom with an en suite delivers flexible sleeping arrangements, while the second-floor primary suite is all that one could wish for. Double doors suggest a touch of drama, a large walk-in closet with custom shelving contributes appreciated organization, and the adjoining spa-like bathroom with free-standing soaker tub and oversized tile shower is a literal haven. There are two additional bedrooms on the second level that share a dual-entry full bath, along with a laundry room that has overhead attic access. Large windows throughout the home invite incredible natural light and provide an indoor-outdoor living experience with the backyard sanctuary. Fully-fenced with the perfect mix of mature, native plantings, flowering shrubs, and practical hardscaping, the current owners thoughtfully designed an outdoor oasis in the city. The sound of birdsong and rustling leaves contributes to the feeling of peace, while the coyote rollbars and outdoor lighting provide peace of mind. This home is a must-see, so don't wait to schedule a showing!
