227 E Hancock Street

Stunning Renovated Bungalow in City of Decatur - RARE Rental Opportunity in Decatur: Secure Your Home Before the School Year Begins. It's not dif?cult to see why Robert Frost enjoyed this California-style single-level bungalow on his annual trips to Atlanta: Agnes Scott College, where he gave rambling standing-room-only lectures, is just across the street, not much farther than that to Decatur Square; perpetually quiet, oak-lined avenues that aren't much different from how they were then. Great for meandering. "Roads less traveled," and all that.

Though, the years have brought some changes. The City of Decatur has built a reputation for its exceptional K-12 public schools (not to mention a lauded restaurant and entertainment scene and a central location only minutes to Emory and CDC for easy commuting). And the Atlanta area has grown — quite a bit: rental properties like 227 E. Hancock, which has undergone an expansive renovation since Frost's days, are a coveted rarity.

The home itself, and the oversized, wander-worthy lot it sits on, are gems as unique and timeless as its conversation-starting past. Inside, original nuances of the wide-open ?oor plan — time-hewn hardwoods, latticed windows, that two-sided ?replace — have remained effortlessly intact—still, plenty of consideration has been paid to preferences that have evolved over the decades. On the off chance that the kitchen wasn't the centerpiece before, a spectacular Jones Pierce renovation–complete with a 48-inch range and Subzero fridge has solidi?ed this status.

Three large bedrooms and separate of?ce, tastefully appointed and dotted with gentle homages to its history, along with modern aesthetics like a California Closets-designed open-plan closet in the primary bedroom.

Now, imagine yourself enjoying the open and covered back decks and fire with a glass of wine and a good book. Available January 1st for well-quali?ed residents - $4495/month
