About this home

This is the kind of home that makes you want to leave the car in the garage. Walk out your front door and head to Dancing Goats for coffee, meet friends for dinner at Chai Pani, Farm Burger or Taqueria del Sol, stroll to the park or Venetian Pool, walk to school, or simply wander downtown and wave to the neighbors. Surrounded by mature trees and the easy friendliness of a small town, yet just steps from everything that makes Downtown Decatur special, 435 Nelson Ferry Road puts you right in the middle of the life you want to live. Built in 2019, this exceptional home brings together the charm and character of a traditional Decatur home with the comfort, sophistication and efficiency of modern construction. Thoughtfully designed from top to bottom, the home offers soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, generously proportioned rooms, and a floorplan that gives everyone space while still creating wonderful places to gather. At the heart of the home is an inviting open-concept kitchen and living room, designed for both everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen features a professional-style RISE JennAir appliance package, including a 48-inch dual-fuel professional range with grill, 36-inch French-door counter-depth refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. A waterfall-edge island, beverage cooler, motion-lit pantry and custom shelving add both beauty and function. The main level continues with thoughtful details throughout, including wainscoting in the primary bedroom and dining room, custom blinds and draperies, custom bookcases and seating nooks, and a custom stair runner. The primary suite features custom closet shelving, a hidden jewelry box and mirror, creating a space that feels both luxurious and incredibly personal. There is room for family, friends and whatever life brings next. The finished terrace level provides an additional living and entertaining space complete with a wet bar and beverage cooler, television, and plenty of room for guests, recreation or a home office. The terrace level also connects to the two-car garage, where custom cabinetry and an EV charger add another layer of convenience. Step outside to the screened porch and you may find yourself spending as much time here as anywhere else. With its own fireplace and views of the professionally landscaped, low-maintenance yard, it is an inviting space for morning coffee, game days, dinner with friends or quiet evenings at home. And while the home feels warm and inviting, its systems are thoroughly modern. Solar panels, a Tesla whole-home battery backup system with solar-powered 24-hour coverage, an Aquasana Rhino whole-house water filtration system, Nest thermostats, security doorbell and outdoor cameras, and an irrigation system provide comfort, efficiency, security and peace of mind. Fresh interior paint and refreshed exterior paint make this beautifully maintained home truly move-in ready. Then there is the location. Toy Park, The Marlay House, Dancing Goats Coffee, Your Cleaners, Farm Burger, Chai Pani and Taqueria del Sol are all just steps away, with Downtown Decatur's restaurants, shops, parks, schools and community gathering places practically at your doorstep. There are plenty of beautiful homes in Decatur. There are far fewer where the house is exceptional and the neighborhood becomes part of your everyday life. 435 Nelson Ferry Road is one of those rare places where you can have the modern luxury, space and craftsmanship you want, while still enjoying the trees, neighbors, walkability and small-town spirit that make Decatur feel like home.
