Some homes are simply built. This one was conceived. Designed and developed by two architects for their own residence, 316 Madison Avenue is a rare expression of modern design, sustainable living, and intentional community, set on one of Decatur’s most beloved streets. From Porchfest to the Madison Avenue Derby, this address puts you at the heart of everything that makes Decatur extraordinary. The main level opens as a light-filled, architecturally refined open plan, designed the way architects actually live: with flow, function, and beauty in harmony. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient design are woven throughout, reflecting a genuine commitment to responsible building. Upstairs, the primary suite and two guest bedrooms offer a classic, livable layout elevated by quality at every turn. The lower level delivers rare flexibility: two rooms with independent exterior access that can serve as a guest suite, teen suite, home office, or potential efficiency apartment for rental income or multi-generational living. Outside, a large fully fenced yard offers privacy on a quiet dead-end street. Two blocks from MARTA, a dog park, and a short stroll to Oakhurst Village, Kirkwood, and East Lake Village, with top-rated Decatur City Schools rounding out an address that truly has it all.
