Some of the features include the gracefully arched doorways, 2 fireplaces with their original stonework, the vintage tilework in the bathrooms, the original dining room chandelier, a relaxing screened-in porch, and much more.

Some of the features include the gracefully arched doorways, 2 fireplaces with their original stonework, the vintage tilework in the bathrooms, the original dining room chandelier, a relaxing screened-in porch, and much more. Permanent staircase leads to a huge attic that could easily be converted into additional living space. Everything has been done so that you can move in with total confidence and peace of mind. This beauty has been updated with newer windows, electrical panel, insulation in both the attic and basement, new paint and so much more. Please read the recent updates and upgrades completed by the current owners listed at the back of the house pictures. The attached 2-car garage, with a Kirk driveway, is a rare find. Private backyard has a large deck. The full unfinished basement is great for storage. Close to Agnes Scott College, CDC, Emory, and downtown Decatur with access to major highways.
