Charming brick bungalow located in one of Decatur's best neighborhoods, Forrest Hills! Sitting between Avondale Estates and Midway woods, this home is minutes away from all that Avondale Estates has to offer (including the soon to be finished Avondale Town Green), as well as the East Decatur Greenway, with its own edible berry patch maintained by locals. With its proximity to Downtown Decatur, Oakhurst, and Legacy Park, this location is seriously amazing! New landscaping, with peach trees, blueberry bushes, and 3 raised beds, as well as the fully fenced-in front and back yard, this is an oasis you'll enjoy year around. Inside, you'll find fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, and the new updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances. The large, bright sunroom off the back of the house is great for an office, family room, or playroom. Workshop or carport under the sunroom. Providing even more flexible space, is the large renovated attic, with a full bathroom. Can be used for Master Suite, office, or even a kids playroom! This home is a must see!
