Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street in Springdale Heights, this beautifully updated five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home offers an exceptional combination of space, style and indoor-outdoor living on a rare .42-acre lot. Thoughtfully expanded and updated, the home offers a flexible floor plan designed to adapt easily to everyday life, entertaining, working from home and hosting family and guests. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout light-filled living spaces, including a gracious dining room with fireplace and millwork, an inviting family room addition overlooking the backyard and a beautifully appointed kitchen with abundant cabinetry, center island and a dedicated beverage/coffee station. The kitchen also features a reverse-osmosis system for drinking water and ice. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, with a vaulted ceiling, beautifully renovated bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed shower, plus an impressive custom-designed walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms provide tremendous flexibility for family, guests, home offices or whatever life requires. Outside is where this home becomes something truly special. The expansive, professionally landscaped and fully fenced backyard centers around a large heated saltwater sport pool with tanning shelf and tranquil water feature. An extensive paver patio creates multiple areas for lounging and entertaining, while the covered outdoor living and kitchen area—with ceiling fans, sink, grill and outdoor refrigerator—makes the backyard as functional as it is beautiful. Professional landscaping and drainage improvements complete this thoughtfully designed outdoor retreat. Additional features include a well-equipped laundry room, professional custom garage shelving and a floor plan with remarkable versatility. All of this is just minutes from Decatur Square while remaining outside the City of Decatur tax district, with access to sought-after Fernbank Elementary.
