possibilities this little gem. A few updates and a coat of paint and you can move into

treehouse. There is vintage charm in the cozy breakfast nook, hardwood floors, original
bathroom fixtures, and basement workshop and garage. While modern convenience is
in the newer appliances, basement laundry room, and plenty of storage. Or take on
that big renovation and build your dream house. The attic provides loads of extra
storage yet is easily expandable for additional bedrooms and bathrooms (and don’t
forget to add that rooftop deck to savor the stunning sunset views). Whatever you
decide, you can relax on the large back patio that is ready for Decatur’s three-seasons
of outdoor dining and enjoy the generously sized backyard with loved ones. The location boasts lovely neighborhood walks to Hidden Cove Park and Westchester
Elementary School and a back road commute to CDC and Emory that avoids the traffic
of Decatur’s main roads. All this and it is still wonderfully walkable to Downtown
Decatur with its world-class dining, shopping, libraries, parks, playgrounds, and
excellent neighborhood schools. Don't miss out on this golden opportunity and
schedule a showing today to explore the potential of this classic home in a terrific
neighborhood in the City of Decatur.
