Beautifully renovated home in the sought-after Forrest Hills neighborhood welcomes you! Renovated in 2021 including new electrical, siding and roof. The kitchen was updated with stainless steel appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and quartz counter tops. The eat-in island offers views of the dining area and living space. A new primary suite was added, expanding the foot print with a spacious bedroom, walk in closet and a luxury bath. The primary bathroom features honed marble counter tops over the double vanity and real wood cabinets with lots of storage. There is a dedicated laundry room with lots of additional storage. The two bedrooms work for a roommate or guest separate floor plan. The guest bath has new tile floors, subway tile surrounding the tub and a new vanity. You will love the choices they made and be ready to step into the back yard and relax. The welcoming covered patio and fire pit area makes for a great cook out opportunity. The back is fully fenced (wooden fenced yard), making it a great space for pets or kids to play. Located just outside of Avondale Estates (in unincorporated Dekalb with low taxes), this home is walkable to The Museum School, Willis Park, and all that downtown Avondale has to offer.
