No. 5 — $899,000 · 244 Winnona Dr, Decatur, Georgia
Directly across the street from a community green space with a creek and walking trails, a 1936 bungalow in Decatur’s Winnona Park is the oldest of the five homes and sold for $899,000. It is brick on all four sides and has four bedrooms, three full baths and 2,282 square feet of living space on 0.27 acres.

Two bedrooms and a full hall bath are on the main level. Past an old telephone nook is a flexible room with its own bath and a generous closet that can be a den, an office or a third main-level bedroom, and it opens directly to the screened porch. That porch has a pitched ceiling and green views on two sides.
Upstairs, the primary suite has two large closets, one leading to unfinished storage, and a bath with a long double vanity, a soaking tub and a large shower. The upper floor also has laundry and another room that could be an office, a den or a further bedroom. The property last sold for $650,000 in 2015.
