4 bdrm, 2 bath in Dearborn Park

Four beds and two full baths round out the cottagey, mid-century charm of 2465 St. Patrick Street — with one big surprise, to boot.

But first the location: a quiet, tree-shrouded lane that’s literally as close to the city limits of Decatur as you can possibly be, and only about a dozen lots in from the convenience of Candler Road (Memorial Drive is just as close). This already puts 2465 at the top of the list for a commute-conscious family.

Through the gabled entryway, a sweeping living/dining area is punctuated by irreplaceable hardwoods. The stainless-equipped kitchen, with stone tops, tiled floors, and custom cabinetry, seals in chef-friendliness.

A trio of bedrooms, anchored by a full bath (and a separate washer/dryer space) each offer their own ample closet space. Bedroom No. 3, in the south-center of the home, is ideal for a home office — with extra room to spread out and a backyard-facing window, function culminates with under-stairs storage for seasonal gear.
And upstairs, that surprise: the massive, wide-open primary suite, which stretches the entire length of the home. Bed and dresser over here; ultimate vaulted reading nook over there… It’s as flexible as you want it to be. The en-suite and dedicated walk-in closet fill in the rest.

In all? If location is key for a family of four or five who wants a touch of untraditional — but always practical — style to their home, 2465 is one of the best under-$2,500 deals on the market.
