General overview

Beautiful, fully-renovated mid-century ranch home in north Decatur, Georgia, a town known for its trees and brewpubs! Huge home that sleeps 6 with a private, grassy backyard. Located close to downtown Decatur, Atlanta, Tucker, Stone Mountain, and easy access to 285 and 85 to get anywhere in the city. 45 mins from the mountains. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/decatur-georgia-guide-32252318 Sarah is a hobby woodworker and built a lot of custom features in the home--all of the barn doors, a mudroom cabinet, a built in desk, wood art, the front porch and the backyard deck.

The space

Some of the highlights include: - 4 bedrooms; 1 King in the Master, 1 King daybed in the Guest Room, and 2 rooms with Twin beds - 3 full bathrooms (en suite in Master bedrooms and one of the twin bedrooms, guest/hall bath), include 2 bathtubs and 2 separate showers - Separate office with dual monitors you can connect to and high-speed wifi - New hot tub outside in a private, spacious yard that seats 8 - Beautiful huge new kitchen with all standard appliances plus two dishwashers, a full-size farm sink, a separate prep sink, a large beverage fridge for wine and beer, and the world's biggest island (I think ;) - A large, furnished patio and deck overlooking the private yard (6 foot privacy fence surrounds) - 5 TVs (in Master bedroom, Master bathroom, Living room, Family room, and Guest room) - Swing set - Laundry room - Driveway parking - Deck access from Master bedroom - Hardwood floors throughout

Guest access

Entrance in back has only one small step up through double doors. Keys provided in a combination lock. Security cameras at entrances. Closets/dressers will not be available; clothing racks will be provided.

Notes

We have a Pomeranian mix dog, Teddy. His coat is shaved and there is no shedding in the house. Some exchanges will be easier if you're willing and able to take care of him. He has a dog door and auto-feeder but needs insulin shots twice a day. Dog sitting is not at all required for an exchange. Stays longer than 4 days will need to tend to the hot tub (add chemicals with instructions, if you're using it). No firearms of any type permitted on the property. There is room for more than 6 guests on air mattresses. Will consider larger families, if interested.

Sarah

Hi PLUers! We are a family of four who are ready to see the world! Our kids are now 6 and 10 and we have done a lot of travel in the US but we're hoping to do more international travel in the next few years. We live in the lovely town of Decatur, Georgia--a city adjacent to downtown Atlanta but with a small town feel! Downtown Decatur (5-10 min drive) is a cute, walkable town with a lovely Square, lots of great bars and restaurants, and some shopping. There is easy access to the MARTA train from Decatur into downtown Atlanta, or you can drive there in 15-25 mins. We are very close to Emory University and the main CDC campus (10 mins). Nearby sights include: Stone Mountain Park, Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, Piedmont Park, Civil and Human Rights Museum, MLK Memorial Cemetery, and so many more things to do in the area. We're about a 45 min drive from the North Georgia Mountains, but there is so much nature and hiking even closer (walkable from here if you're energetic). Atlanta has more than 300 miles of bike and walking trials called the PATH that goes around and through the city, with easy access from near our house. We're about 30 mins from the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, depending on traffic. We have a beautiful forever home that we LOVE dearly and remodeled down to the studs in 2020! Everything in the home is new and custom--even the backyard that was landscaped in 2022! Sarah is a federal scientist, public health researcher, and college professor that works from home-- but can only work remotely inside the US. Andrew is a stay at home dad. Our kids are currently in 1st and 5th grade, and we need to travel around the Georgia school calendar (August-May). We are clean, respectful, non-smoking guests, and hope for the same from our guests! Andrew is allergic to cats but we could care for a small dog. We have an adorable and sweet little Pomeranian. We are excited to explore the world and share our home with like-minded people!
