The Atlanta Regional Commission recently forked over $100,000 to the City of Decatur as part of its Livable Cities Initiative Grants to "develop conceptual plans for development at the East Lake MARTA Station."
This five-bedroom property was built two years ago, and its 4,000 square feet boast a few touches that set it apart from other large new homes in the same vein. Lovers of white-and-grey motifs and Carrara marble won’t be disappointed.
According to the listing, the dwelling is located "only steps from Oakhurst Village Center" and features large living spaces on the main floor with a "dramatic front dining room and open chef’s kitchen," as well as master bedroom suite.
Listed since July at $950,000, this handsome, 4,238-square-foot goliath plays it safe from a design perspective, incorporating the coffered ceilings, open kitchen, and white-gray aesthetics that’ve proved successful for developers in recent years.
Porchfest started as a wild idea among a few Oakhurst denizens, but by showtime last year, it was being called "the largest organic, free-range, crowd-sourced music festival in the state of Georgia." This year it happens on a Saturday.
