Home Details for 2871 Tupelo SE Street

Renovations were kind to 2781 Tupelo Street. Positioned on a corner lot in a quiet enclave of East Lake, the home itself was originally built in the 1940s, which means there is plenty of functionality… with just enough wiggle room for the types of mildly eccentric flourishes that make a space one-of-a-kind. How so… If someone were to ask what your new place was like, you might say something like “Fairhope Bungalow,” or “It reminds us of that converted guest house we summered at in the Hamptons back in ‘09.” The sort of home where the living room doubles as a window-lined sunroom; where the kitchen generally has a bottle of white condensating on the granite breakfast bar; where site finished oak hardwoods finish off the echo from the high ceilings; where a wraparound cedar deck leads out to that firepit-ed little sitting area on the emerald lawn. The result isn’t traditional; then again, ‘cozy’ isn’t jargon here, either. A couple, or a family of three, will find themselves most suited to their tenure at 2781. A pair of bedrooms downstairs serve their intended purposes admirably, sharing a separated full bath between them. Upstairs, a sitting area can pull rank as a home office, or perhaps a bedroom for someone of, say, high school age — it’s a bit on the small side, sure, but access across the landing to a dedicated full bath does lend more of a “private apartment” vibe (which, c’mon, when you were 15, would have been super cool). And with excellent access to surface streets. Memorial is only a block away and not much farther to Candler. But even skipping the main thoroughfares, locales that make East Lake so desirable — Oakhurst, Downtown Decatur — are walkable.
