This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on an expansive .4 acre private lot, offering ample space for a future pool or outdoor oasis. Surrounded by mature trees and a thoughtfully designed butterfly garden, the yard provides a peaceful, nature-filled retreat while still being in the heart of it all. Inside, you're greeted by a bright and open living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances with views of the relaxing screened-in porch. Just off the main living space, the sellers transformed an existing space into a second formal living room or versatile bonus room with a pocket door, perfect for a home office, playroom, or cozy den. This freshly painted area features hardwood flooring, a new light fixture, and plenty of natural light streaming through multiple windows. The expanded owner's suite offers a private retreat complete with a sunroom, currently used as a home office, and a private en suite bath. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full guest bath complete the layout. With nearly new HVAC and roof, this home is move-in ready while retaining its classic charm and character. Located in the highly sought-after City of Decatur school district, this home offers a prime, walkable location just minutes from Downtown Decatur's restaurants and shops, Oakhurst Village, PATH, Emory, CDC, Marta, and more!
