About This Home

As of July 2025

From the moment you arrive, this beautifully and thoughtfully designed storybook bungalow will capture your heart. 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.
