1220 BLUEBERRY Trail, Decatur, GA 30033

1220 Blueberry Trail has got some playful authenticity to it. A sweeping, lovingly manicured lawn connects the tranquil street to a shutter-punctuated brick facade that’s backdropped by trees, trees, trees: a casual slice of Americana (with easy access to 285, to boot). 

In brief, if you’re hunting for an easygoing just-north-of-Decatur midcentury with the soul of a bungalow, oodles of un-cramped privacy, hardwood floors, and enough character so practicality isn’t sacrificed? Walking through the front door of 1220 will likely make you feel (literally) at home. To get to that front door, you’ll probably park under the 2 car carport, taking a moment to rest your groceries in the covered, brick-lined front porch that’ll quickly become the morning coffee spot. Inside, a pair of living areas give freedom to burn the midnight oil with some solitude, while the rest of the crew is chilling out with a movie. The high-windowed dining area lends a California kick — privacy with an abundance of natural light. The flagstone’d kitchen offers plenty of flow to go along with vintage custom cabinetry and stainless appliances (one look at that range is bound to spur a gastronomist’s imagination.

Three beds, two full baths, and about a half-dozen closets round out the sleeping spaces — on the bedroom front, there’s an easy option for conversion if a fully functional home office is on the horizon. For big-ticket items that stay outside, there’s a hefty storage room in the carport, too.

Oh, and the backyard is seriously cute: privacy fenced with ample space for a big dog to merrily frolic; enough terrace to host without crowding; and some foliage-dotted sitting areas that’ll go great with some candles at twilight. It’s green out here.
