The lush front garden and rocking chair front terrace with a raised garden bed create an immediate sense of warmth and home. Inside, the abundant natural light and cozy fireplace in the living room offer a perfect retreat. The flow into the dining room and out to the private outdoor covered porch is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The modern, renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, with ample counter space and stainless steel appliances. Two well-appointed bedrooms and a beautifully upgraded shared bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite is a true sanctuary, with a sitting area, oversized window, skylight, and a large, gorgeous, renovated bath with double vanity and marble tile and countertops. The two-car garage offers ample storage and potential for expansion, while the current owners' thoughtful transformation of half the space into a professional gym showcases the home's versatility. Located within walking distance of downtown Decatur, MARTA rail, and top-rated schools, and directly across from Decatur's 77-acre Legacy Park, this home offers an unparalleled lifestyle. Recent upgrades, including a new sewer line, water line, and whole-house wildlife exclusion, provide peace of mind for years to come. This home is truly special and is priced below the appraised value.
