Welcome Home to your adorable ranch home in desirable North Decatur! Step through your front door to enjoy hardwood floors stretching out before you as your eyes are drawn to a charming original window in the light filled living area. An arched opening connects your living area with the dining area where cozy banquet seating invites warm gatherings with friends and family. You can move right in and relax as your kitchen and bathroom have been beautifully updated and your other big ticket items in home ownership have been taken care of with a new Roof and HVAC in 2022 and a new Water Heater in 2025. You'll be amazed by the peace and quiet of this friendly neighborhood while being minutes from Emory University, the CDC, the VA Medical Center, Fernbank Science Center, the Decatur Square and all the fun Atlanta has to offer. The exciting new retail and restaurants slated for the Lulah Hills mixed-use development are less than a mile away and there are tons of cozy local restaurants and parks nearby. Don't be surprised if you'd rather just stay home! Your back patio is the perfect place to relax with a cool drink or you can perfect your Frisbee Golf game or throw the ball for your dog. Your fully fenced backyard is perfect for all of that! Welcome home to 1244 Sparrow Lane!
