Inspired by the minimalist principles of Japandi design, this exceptional new construction home offers a thoughtful balance of warmth, simplicity, and modern functionality in the heart of Winnona Park. Tucked discreetly at the rear of a private lot and surrounded by forest views, the home delivers an ideal blend of design and livability, featuring an open floor plan, dedicated dining space, main-level guest suite, screened porch, flexible unfinished lower-level room, upper-level retreat, generous laundry room, and a serene primary suite designed for everyday luxury. A modern interpretation of the Charleston door welcomes you onto the piazza—open to invite connection, closed for privacy. Inside, clean lines, natural materials, and understated details create a calming atmosphere throughout. The custom kitchen pairs walnut-stained and painted cabinetry with quartz countertops and an oversized island, creating a striking focal point for gathering and entertaining. The dining room enjoys a defined presence while remaining connected to the kitchen and living spaces. A dramatic wall of sliding glass doors extends the living room onto the screened porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Beyond, the backyard is framed by mature hardwoods, offering a peaceful natural backdrop rarely found this close to the city. The main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a spacious retreat offers the perfect setting for a media room, playroom, or lounge, complete with an oversized walk-in storage closet. Two secondary bedrooms, a beautifully appointed hall bath, and a thoughtfully designed laundry room with cabinetry and workspace complete the level. The primary suite feels like a true sanctuary, with floor-to-ceiling windows capturing treetop views and abundant natural light. The spa-inspired bath features an oversized vanity and a beautifully designed wet room with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. An unfinished lower-level flex space offers room to grow—ideal for a studio, gym, office, or creative workspace. Covered parking is provided by a two-car carport conveniently located just outside the rear entry. Thoughtful sustainability and modern conveniences are integrated throughout, including NGBS Bronze certification, EV charging capability, an induction range, and 7.5-inch brushed white oak hardwood floors. Adding to the home's unique setting, adjacent city-owned greenspace connects directly to the Path trail network, leading toward Agnes Scott College and Decatur Square in one direction and Oakhurst Village via wooded trails and stream views in the other. A quiet retreat immersed in nature, yet moments from everything that makes Decatur special.
