Decatur Retreat

There are homes near downtown Decatur, and then there are properties that capture the grandeur of its most established residential corridors. Set along West Ponce de Leon Avenue’s celebrated “Golden Corridor,” 724 W. Ponce is a distinctive private retreat where resort-style living meets the energy and convenience of downtown Decatur, just minutes away.

Built in 2001 and extensively renovated and expanded around 2015, this remarkable property was thoughtfully designed for a family of six, blending sophisticated details with an easy, casual elegance. The approximately 3,700-square-foot main residence offers five bedrooms and 4.5 baths, with the primary suite and an additional bedroom upstairs and three more bedrooms on the main level.

But the real magic lies in how the property lives. Set on approximately 0.70 acres, this is less a traditional residence than a private compound, with nearly 5,000 square feet of combined living and entertaining space and multiple destinations to enjoy throughout the day. The pool and spa anchor the outdoor environment, creating a natural gathering place between the main home and the approximately 1,000-square-foot pool house.

Designed as a true extension of the residence, the pool house features a dramatic vaulted great room with fireplace, a full bedroom, 1.5 baths, and a beautiful office or artist studio that can open on three sides to embrace the outdoors. An additional outdoor fireplace creates the perfect setting for evenings by the pool, while a putting green brings a little friendly competition to the backyard. A secluded meditation garden offers a quieter place to pause and recharge.

Throughout the property, Pennsylvania bluestone lends a timeless, cohesive character to the front walkway, steps, porch, pool surround, backyard paths, and pool house porch. Artificial turf in the backyard keeps the grounds looking pristine, while an extensive underground water-management system reflects the thoughtful planning behind the beauty. From discreet privacy film on select main-level windows to countless carefully considered details, the owners have invested in making this property as functional as it is beautiful.

The result is a rare combination: the privacy and amenities of a resort, the flexibility of a second living space, and the warmth of a home designed for real life. Here, everyday routines can feel a little more like a getaway, whether gathering with family and friends, working from the garden-side studio, enjoying a quiet moment in the meditation garden, or ending the day beside the outdoor fireplace.

Along one of Decatur’s most established residential corridors, 724 W. Ponce offers a compelling alternative to the ordinary: an estate-like retreat with room to spread out, spaces to gather, and a setting that makes coming home feel like arriving somewhere special.
