Property Description
Versatile and move-in ready, this carefully restored home on a level 0.3+/- acre lot is a rare opportunity to live in the unparalleled Decatur community, known throughout Georgia as the perfect cross between city living and laid-back small-town America. Beautiful front and back landscaping reinforce the atmosphere of an English cottage. The owners lovingly updated this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home while preserving the original charm with a custom archway, moldings, trim detail and hardwood floors throughout. A new rocking-chair front porch with plenty of room for potted herbs and flowers precedes the main level entry. Natural light fills the living room featuring a gallery wall for your favorite artwork, a fireplace with a marble surround, a new mantle and glass shelving with a mirrored back. With an easy flow from the kitchen to the family room, it is the perfect space to entertain. A delightful kitchen boasts painted cabinets, a new faucet, a tile counter with a mosaic backsplash, a pantry, a gas stove, a breakfast bar and a dining area. A separate den/family room is perfect for watching your favorite game or TV series and could also be used as an office. The main-level bedroom is a masterpiece that took the owners one year to design and hand paint. The classic bathroom features original black-and-white tile, updated hardware and a linen closet. A second bedroom or office space completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers plenty of space for a sitting area or office and features generous built-ins, an exposed brick chimney, new floors updated in 2019, recessed lighting and a full-tile bath. With a walk-in closet/laundry space that could also be converted into a nursery, there is plenty of room to grow! The expansive, fenced backyard with a new deck and stone patio offers plenty of shade and is perfect for entertaining. This property also features a must-see climate-controlled and insulated workshop/storage space with gas and water available to make it the perfect "she shed" or "man cave." Updates include new windows throughout, a new roof replaced in December 2021, a new hot water heater and new stair treads.
