Property Description
If you've been dreaming of a home that feels like a peaceful retreat while still being in the heart of the city, this darling Winnona Park bungalow is just the one. Full of charm you simply can't recreate today, this 1930s storybook cottage sits on an incredibly private, over half-acre lot complete with its own spring-fed babbling brook. Just beyond the backyard is a 3-acre land trust, creating a rare, park-like setting that truly feels like your own nature escape. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel the warmth and history that make this home so special. Beautiful original details have been lovingly preserved, from the arched front door and crystal doorknobs, to the rich moldings, original refinished hardwood floors, and even the original kitchen sink tucked into the laundry room. The cozy wood-burning fireplace adds even more character, while the bright sunroom overlooking the lush, native landscaping is the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, with one currently used as an office, giving you the flexibility to create the spaces that fit your lifestyle. Major updates have already been taken care of, including HVAC systems less than three years old, new Pella windows upstairs, a tankless water heater, and updated green thermostats on both levels. Need extra storage or room to expand? The full unfinished basement with driveway access offers endless possibilities. Winnona Park is one of Decatur's most beloved neighborhoods, known for its friendly community feel where neighbors know each other by name and kids still play outside. You'll love the easy access to top-rated City of Decatur Schools, the PATH, Dekalb Farmer's Market, and all the shops and restaurants in Downtown Decatur. This is the kind of home that feels special the second you see it -- perfect for buyers who want the energy of city living but the peace and beauty of a private nature retreat.
