Live the in-town dream! This ranch is walking distance to Emory University, CDC, Hahn Woods Park, the Toco Hill Shopping, and popular places of worship. Beautiful mid-century modern brick work. The master bedroom with double French doors leads to the deck overlooking the large private fenced in green space. Very large galley kitchen with double sinks, tons of cabinets. Floor plan puts the kitchen off to both the family room, large eat-in kitchen space and large separate laundry room. Hardwood floors throughout the main level. Wall of windows produce tons of natural daylight in the living room (separate from the dining room). Large covered front porch. Toe Kick and crown molding in most rooms. HV/AC replaced July 2022. There are 2 very large storage rooms under the house. This home can also make for an excellent investment-rental property due to its location and flat lot. Very close walk to places of worship and Emory University.
