Sweet brick ranch on one of Clarkston’s favorite streets that has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 50 years. Full of unique features to make this home special and an easy renovation/expansion for it's next owners. Walking up, you'll be greeted by a lovely, enclosed front porch that overlooks the expansive front yard and offers the perfect spot for nature watching. Enter the living room featuring arched entryways, wood burning fireplace and original solid oak hardwood floors sourced from Pullman sleeper train cars. To the right, you’ll find two bedrooms with a shared classic hallway bath with original tiles in excellent condition. To the left is the dining room with built-in hutch, bonus room perfect for a den or office, and original kitchen. Rear enclosed porch is a perfect space to finish and include as part of the living space. Carport off the back could easily be added as well - everything is under a newer metal roof. Situated on a half-acre lot, you can enjoy both a large front and backyard full of cultivated plantings. In addition to the attached carport, the backyard features a detached carport, parking pad, three outbuildings (a greenhouse and two sheds—opportunity for an ADU) and plenty of greenspace. An all-brick exterior and a metal roof make for lower maintenance. Enjoy a peaceful setting while still being “intown.” Conveniently located near I-285, North Decatur Road, downtown Clarkston, Avondale Estates, Decatur and Emory/CDC, as well as the PATH which connects to miles of Atlanta trails.
