Quiet, cheerful artist/filmmaker’s home away from home in lovely Decatur/North Druid Hills. Tucked into a wooded hillside that’s private yet very convenient to all the pockets of goodies that Decatur has to offer. All major grocery stores, shopping center chains, and the like are within a mile or two. If you’re like me when on an out of town job, you rarely have time to cook. Every imaginable nationality and ethnicity of food delivers here — you will not be disappointed. Or it’s a weekend and you wanna make dinner or have guests over? The fully equipped kitchen is right at your fingertips — you can dine inside or out on the screened in porch. Feel like going somewhere special? Dozens of options in both directions, several less than 5 minutes away. On niche.com the neighborhood features an A+ Safety rating, an A+ Nightlife rating, and it gets an A for both Families and Diversity.
The charming house was built in 1959 and sits atop a heavily wooded lot. Two ample parking places under the carport also access the backyard, deck, and screened in porch.
Inside, a 1950s wood panelled office features Hitchcock vibes with a large tanker desk, roomy closet, and vintage love seat. Wireless printer with backup ink and an erasable wall calendar help to keep you on schedule.
Two comfy bedrooms, one inspired by Rudyard Kipling with a playful animal decor gets morning light through sheers. The other by Wong Kar Wai — with blackout curtains for those sometimes challenging production hours — and a half-bath steps from the bed. Both bedrooms have new mattresses and new bedding with still-packaged additional backups in the linen closet, located in the Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired bathroom. New towels and soaps, loofah, tissues, and other toiletries are yours as needed.
Living room features a comfy new sectional sofa, vintage lighting, Pedro Almodovar inspired decor — via local artisans and shops — and a large SmartTV. Dining room has cowboy doors into kitchen and back porch, and a stairwell leading down to a large flex space. Need more office space? Storage? Make this area your own while you’re here. Washer and dryer in adjacent room with wash sink and laundry counter. Additional storage beyond if needed to accommodate those longer stays. Closets in every room of the house are ready for your use, hangers and laundry bags provided.
