House Hunt
Each week we showcase area homes for sale that are worth looking at -- or strolling through.
Let's talk location (You know: "Location, location, location"?).
Because I moved years ago from Decatur to West End, putting me on the far side of I-75/85, I have to come up with good reasons to make the cross-town trek to Your DeKalb Farmers Market. Judging by the numbers of people whom I have to circumnavigate whenever I do get to shop at DFM, I'm not alone in my devotion to it.
An Avondale Estates home, 449 Kensington Parc Drive, has the manifold advantages of being a mere half mile from the farmers market, a mile (or so) from the Village at Avondale, and only a couple of miles from downtown Decatur. Also nearby is the bike trail that lets riders two-wheel their way, almost free of motor traffic, nearly to Freedom Park. This two-story brick house has three bedrooms (all upstairs) and two-and-a-half bathrooms.

No. 449 also has an integral two-car garage, a master bedroom with a trey ceiling and a roomy closet, and a great room with a working fireplace. Underfoot, it has a mix of carpeting and hardwood flooring.
Despite being located near one of metro Atlanta's busiest intersections, 1041 Scott Blvd. exists within its own little enclave of greenery. Situated far back from the road, this brick house even comes with a swing. The property seems like a dream of being far from the madding crowd ... right next to the common commute. That placement also means a short drive to I-285, a slightly longer one to I-85 (and Buckhead, just the other side of that freeway), and a moderate walk to Decatur Square.

No. 1041, once a bed and breakfast, stands on one acre at the edge of the Great Lakes neighborhood. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a lower-level in-law suite with its own immediate parking space.
