Located on one of Oakhurst’s most beloved streets, the property features four bedrooms and three baths in the main residence, plus a private carriage house with its own bedroom and bath above the garage. As you enter, you are greeted by a stylish foyer anchored by a wood burning fireplace. A comfortable living room and dedicated office provide additional flexibility, while custom built-ins enhance the home’s character. On your way to the kitchen and dining room, you will pass by a main floor bedroom and full bathroom, perfect for hosting guests. The updated kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with plenty of storage and an oversized pantry. It flows seamlessly into the dining area, where large windows fill the space with natural light and frame views of the enchanting backyard. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch and adjacent back deck create an effortless transition to outdoor living, ideal for quiet mornings, al fresco dining, or gathering with friends. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath, while the primary suite serves as a treetop retreat. Highlights include generous closets, a reading nook with sunset views to the west, another gas fireplace, a well-appointed bath, and a balcony to take it all in. In the upstairs hallway, a ladder leads to a cozy hideout. Out back, the grounds feel like a hidden garden. Mature trees anchor the landscape creating privacy, while flowering plants, two stocked koi ponds, a firepit, and even a chicken coop create an atmosphere that feels both peaceful and alive. When everything is in bloom, it’s nothing short of magical. The 800-square-foot garage accommodates two vehicles and includes a workshop that could easily transform into a studio, home gym, or creative space. The property also features plenty of off-street parking. Above the garage, the spacious carriage house includes a kitchen and living room in addition to the fifth bedroom and fourth bathroom. Whether welcoming visitors, hosting extended family, or generating rental income, this space adapts with ease. Life here extends well beyond the property line. Top-rated Decatur schools, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and a local market are just moments away. Annual traditions like the Mad Ave Derby, Oakhurst Porchfest, and the Oakhurst Wine Crawl bring neighbors together and make this community unforgettable. More than simply an address, Maxwell Street offers a lifestyle rooted in connection, comfort, and possibility.
