The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features a spacious living and dining room adorned with custom built-in cabinetry, granite countertops, and a wine chiller. Beyond lies the inviting family room on the main level, complete with a large adjacent deck overlooking the expansive backyard, evoking the tranquility of a treehouse retreat. The backyard is a highlight, boasting a sizable custom-built flagstone patio and fire pit, ideal for evening gatherings with friends and neighbors. The kitchen has been tastefully updated, while the primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet, an adjoining bathroom, and a washer and dryer conveniently situated in the adjacent hallway, positioned perfectly between all three bedrooms. One of the most remarkable features that captivated the seller is the expansive full terrace level, providing ample space for you to add your personal touch and unleash your creativity. The sellers are enamored with the tight-knit community and sense of belonging in Westchester Hills, a mere stone's throw from Westchester Elementary School and Hidden Cove Park, epitomizing the quintessential urban lifestyle, with a commute to CDC and Emory that avoids the traffic of Decatur’s main roads. Their affection for the neighborhood is intense as they reluctantly bid farewell to the vibrant community filled with young families and children, reminiscent of carefree childhood days spent with best friends. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this nostalgic haven your own. Don't miss the chance to make this nostalgic haven your own. With its appealing curb appeal and proximity to downtown amenities, including restaurants, playgrounds, shopping, and festivals, this home offers the quintessential urban lifestyle. It also provides easy access to the highly ranked City Schools of Decatur, with pleasant neighborhood strolls to Hidden Cove Park and Westchester Elementary School. Despite its downtown proximity, it remains wonderfully walkable to Downtown Decatur, renowned for its dining, shopping, libraries, parks, playgrounds, and exceptional schools.
