Thoughtfully curated with native plantings and seasonal blooms, from camellias and cherry blossoms to hydrangeas, roses, and berries, a peaceful and ever-changing backdrop! The firepit area invites gathering, while the expansive yard offers space to play, garden or expand. A rare bonus is the detached, rear studio with an additional +200 sq ft of finished space! Updated with new flooring and electrical, currently used as a home gym but easily adaptable as a private office, creative space, man (or lady) cave or teen hangout - make it your own! Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a newer HVAC system, updated electrical and lighting, newly painted exterior, and more. The home also offers a massive walk-up attic, ready for storage now or the opportunity to expand and significantly increase future value.

Just minutes from Emory University, CDC, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Agnes Scott College, this is where small-town charm meets big-city access, offering the very best of Decatur living with easy connectivity to the greater Atlanta area. Another perk is the pedestrian entrance to Glenlake Park at the end of the street, providing easy access to the community pool, playground, dog park, tennis courts, walking trails, and downtown Decatur.
