1365 Dorothy Drive

Description

Welcome home to 1365 Dorothy Drive — a 4 bedroom, 3 bath Prairie Modern retreat and an entertainer's dream, where thoughtful design, nature, and comfort come together in a way that's genuinely hard to find. Rebuilt from the foundation just 10 years ago by Stryant Construction, this home has both the character of an established neighborhood and the bones of modern construction. The passive solar design keeps the home naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, and from the charming front porch to the open, light-filled interior, every space invites you to slow down and settle in. | INSIDE THE HOME | The open floor plan connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas seamlessly — perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen is a genuine standout: polished concrete counters, abundant prep space, a large island, room for a full dining table, a luxurious coffee bar, and newer stainless appliances including a convection oven and dishwasher. The owner's suite is a true oasis: a private, peaceful retreat away from the main living areas where you can decompress and recharge. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs, which gives a lot of flexibility for using the rooms in a variety of ways. Storage is everywhere you need it — multiple closets throughout, a carport closet, and more. | OUTDOOR LIVING | Step outside and you may never want to leave. The private deck overlooks the backyard with a Japanese-inspired garden, mature landscaping, and a steady parade of wildlife, including birds, owls, squirrels, and chipmunks. Whether you're having morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the backyard feels like a nature sanctuary tucked right behind your own door. Major drainage improvements keep everything looking beautiful year-round. The detached shed adds serious utility: built-in workbench, dedicated storage for tools, lawn equipment, and bikes — everything has a place. An EV charging outlet near the carport rounds out the practical extras. | UPGRADES YOU WILL APPRECIATE | Nearly all windows have been replaced with energy-efficient 1" thick casement windows with insulated sashes and screens. A fully encapsulated crawlspace and radon mitigation system provide peace of mind. Dehumidifiers on every level — including the crawlspace — keep the home comfortable and humidity-free year-round, even without running the heat or air. Additional upgrades include a high efficiency Trane HVAC system, Rheem Marathon water heater, high performance low-flow plumbing fixtures, and fresh interior and exterior paint. | LIFE IN MIDWAY WOODS | Midway Woods is known for its strong sense of community, with an active neighborhood group, regular events, and neighbors who look out for one another. The neighborhood is a wonderful place to walk or bike, with mature trees and abundant wildlife adding to the area's natural charm. The home is eligible for the award-winning Museum School and is located outside the City of Decatur tax district, resulting in notably lower property taxes! | LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION | Outdoor lovers will appreciate being just one mile from Dearborn Park and within biking distance of Legacy Park, Downtown Avondale, and the Avondale Town Green, while DeKalb Farmers Market is less than a 10-minute drive away. Quiet, walkable, and full of character, Midway Woods offers an unbeatable combination of neighborhood charm and easy access to Decatur, Avondale Estates, and the greater Atlanta area — with the peace of a quiet side street to come home to.
