The Midcentury Home You been Waiting For!
905 Vistavia Circle | 6BEDx3BATH | $849,000
| Every once in a while, a home comes along that captures the imagination, exceeds all expectations, & sets new standards of design, function, & luxury. That home is 905 Vistavia Cir. An original Midcentury Modern residence which was purposely built for the Healey family. Mr. Healey was a celebrated professor at Emory. His daily walking commute to Emory took him through the rear gate of his property & into Lullwater Preserve. From there he continued his walking commute to his office at Emory. Lullwater Preserve is the home of the residence for the President of Emory University. The home has been transformed into a sprawling 6BEDx3BATH Midcentury Atomic Ranch. 4BEDx2BATH up & 2BEDx1BATH down. The property could easily function as a multi-generation home. The current designer-owner made it her mission to maintain the original MCM feel while updating every system & adding new levels of thoughtful design & modern convenience. A *very MCM* shed-roof 2 car-carport greets you at the top of the drive. Walk through the front door and you’ll enter a room bathed in dappled sunlight from every wall. The original wood burning fireplace adds character & texture. The chef’s kitchen is designed to impress while also being fully functional. A gas 6-burner professional range is complemented by a custom-designed island which is capped by beautiful “leather” solid surface stone. Clerestory windows allow even more light to wash over the kitchen & den. Dual glass sliders welcome you out onto the pvt rear deck. There is a feeling of quiet serenity that is almost impossible to achieve while being *this close* to everything in Atlanta. Original tongue & groove ceilings, casement windows, custom tiled baths, gleaming oak floors, & hand selected finishes & hardware will impress you at every turn. Finally, if location is everything, then the location for 905 Vistavia couldn’t be better. Situated literally only minutes from Emory, the CDC, Downtown Decatur, Midtown Atlanta, Buckhead, & Toco Hill, you’re never far from unlimited shopping, dining, & entertainment options. This home won’t last long and another one like it won’t come around soon. Don’t let it slip through your fingers. | ||
About the City of Decatur
Decatur is a city in, and the county seat of, DeKalb County, Georgia, which is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. With a population of 24,928 in the 2020 census,[3] the municipality is sometimes assumed to be larger since multiple ZIP Codes in unincorporated DeKalb County bear Decatur as the address. The city is served by three MARTA rail stations (Decatur, East Lake, and Avondale). The city is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of Downtown Atlanta and shares its western border with both the city of Atlanta (the Kirkwood and Lake Claire neighborhoods) and unincorporated DeKalb County. The Druid Hills neighborhood is to the northwest of Decatur. The unofficial motto of Decatur used by some residents is “Everything is Greater in Decatur.”
We invite you to discover Decatur, online and in person. You’ll find a traditional small-town atmosphere–and the sophistication and excitement of a college town–along with all the benefits of living in a major metropolitan area.
