What do No. 246, the Kimball House and The Deer & Dove all have in common? Besides being award winning restaurants, they're all walking distance to Decatur's HOTTEST NEW listing! I'm not sure it's for you, but if you're an affluent, smart, good looking individual with an affinity for opulence and history, you might want to take a moment to look at the video walk through on YouTube (search 432 E. Howard Ave #4). Just steps away from the vibrant downtown area, full of shopping, cool music venues and some of the best dining the city has to offer. Welcome home to your maintenance-free sanctuary of convenience and style. This exquisite brownstone is located in the small, quiet community of East Howard Place. These brownstones were designed to pay homage to the history and charm of historic Decatur. The interior narrates a tale of impeccable craftsmanship. With quality, from the artisanal millwork to the soaring 10' ceilings. The details resonate with your inner perfectionist while the volume of space, filled with natural light, soothes your soul. The commitment to architectural excellence sets this home apart, with unparalleled luxury thatCOs comfortable and effortless. I see you over there rolling your eyes."Enough with the fancy words!" you're thinking. "I want a single family home on Sycamore street." I get it. You've always wanted a historic home with a shady front porch and a history. But I'm here to tell you the cost to maintain, let alone heat & cool an older home will bankrupt you while the rodent infestation in the crawlspace will make you seek shelter at the Ritz. In theory a historic home is romantic, but no one ever talks about their $800/month heating bill. And by the way, 432 E Howard has never seen a utility bill over $199. With spray foam insulation in the attic, double pane windows and a built in pest control system, you're never going to have any extra living expenses (or 8-legged visitors crawling over your face in the middle of the night). The original owners spared expense, when they had this home built. They upgraded it to the hilt, with a full service elevator, a modern gas fireplace and a Bosch appliance package which includes a dual zone wine cooler and a built-in ice maker. Envision the sheer delight of entertaining all your friends this Holiday season, faces glowing in the warm candlelight, wine glasses clinking and stimulating conversation flowing. Outside, the oversized patio, ensconced in mature greenery, offers vistas of a private courtyard. The placement of Unit #4 is nothing short of prime, shielded from the urban hum, yet privy to the tranquil views of a residential tableau. This is an opportunity you've been searching for. With a walkable prime location, incredible space plus a two car garage and zero maintenance, all for under $1M. If you miss this opportunity you'll be kicking yourself for years to come.
