Property Description

Tucked nearly 300 feet off the road, this one-of-a-kind custom home by PerchBuilt is thoughtfully designed for a life in harmony with its natural surroundings. Woven into a mature deciduous forest, the structure gently twists and turns to preserve adjacent specimen trees while giving a babbling spring-fed creek along the frontage the space it deserves. It expresses a gentle modernism that quietly complements the landscape? fitting for a retreat nestled in the woods, yet still in the city. The clapboard exterior, accented by weathered steel, sets the tone for what awaits inside: a striking yet calm modern retreat. That sensibility continues indoors, where floor-to-ceiling windows orient toward the surrounding canopy and flood the living spaces with leaf-dappled light. The open-concept main floor is designed to encourage gathering, with an open kitchen at its heart serving as a central anchor for both elevated entertaining and everyday living. Finishes draw inspiration from the clean lines of Art Deco, including stunning fluted floating bathroom vanities that elevate each en suite. All five bedrooms feature private baths, complemented by multiple flex spaces that can adapt to a variety of lifestyles. The ground floor, with both interior and exterior entry, offers exceptional versatility?ideal for a private nanny or in-law suite, theater, home office, or creative studio. Outdoor living is equally intentional, with two side terraces providing usable yard space while preserving the integrity of the wooded setting. Located in the highly desirable Dearborn Park neighborhood, just minutes from the heart of downtown Decatur, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, community, and convenience. This is more than a house?it is a way of being connected to the natural environment. There is still time to make final selections and truly personalize this extraordinary residence, but that opportunity will not last much longer. Come see it for yourself.
