This Eco-Friendly Prairie Modern, 4 bedroom, 3 bath home rebuilt from the foundation just 10 years ago by Stryant Construction has both amazing character and functionality for modern living. The passive solar design floods the home with natural light making it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer! It has a High efficiency Trane HVAC system, Rheem Marathon Water heater, a whole house dehumidifier, high performance /low flow plumbing fixtures, and a fully encapsulated crawlspace. The new owners also added super energy-efficient 1" thick casement windows with insulated sashes and screens to make the home even more energy efficient and comfortable to live in year round. From the charming front porch to the open, light-filled interior designed with passive solar in mind, every space has been thoughtfully designed for everyday living, comfort, and entertaining. | INSIDE THE HOME | Step inside to an open floor plan where the kitchen, living, and dining areas flow together seamlessly. The kitchen combines abundant polished concrete counter space for cooking and baking, a large island, and room for a full dining table - ideal for hosting guests. A newly built coffee bar adds a daily touch of luxury, while natural light pours in throughout the main living space. The owner's suite is a true retreat, offering a peaceful private oasis away from the main living areas. Storage is no afterthought here, with multiple closets, a carport closet, and a shed providing space for it all. | OUTDOOR LIVING | Out back, a private deck overlooks a leveled backyard featuring a Japanese-inspired garden and mature landscaping - a peaceful setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation, with frequent visits from local birds and wildlife. Major drainage improvements ensure the outdoor space stays beautiful and functional year-round. | UPGRADES YOU WILL APPRECIATE | This home has been thoughtfully upgraded with energy efficiency and comfort in mind: nearly all windows have been replaced with energy-efficient, 1" thick pane, casement windows; a fully encapsulated crawlspace and radon mitigation system provide added peace of mind; and dehumidifiers on every level - including the crawlspace - keep the home comfortable and humidity-free year-round, even without running the heat or air. A new shed / workshop round out the recent improvements. | LIFE IN MIDWAY WOODS | Midway Woods is known for its strong sense of community, with an active neighborhood alliance, regular events, and neighbors who look out for one another. Sidewalks throughout the neighborhood connect to surrounding streets, making it a wonderful area to walk, with mature trees and abundant wildlife - birds, chipmunks, and rabbits - adding to the area's natural charm. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being just one mile from Dearborn Park and within biking distance of both Legacy Park and Downtown Avondale and The Avondale Town Green, while DeKalb Farmers Market is less than a 10-minute drive away. The home is eligible for the award-winning Museum School lottery and located outside the City of Decatur tax district, so the property taxes are super reasonable!!! | LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION | Quiet, walkable, and full of character, Midway Woods offers an unbeatable combination of neighborhood charm and easy access to Decatur, Avondale Estates, and the greater Atlanta area. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that truly has it all - don't miss it.
