Walk to everything Decatur from this Leila Ross Wilburn-designed all brick Tudor Cottage. Atlanta architect Wilburn designed small affordable homes "as architecturally correct as larger ones." This one has generous common rooms and its permanent attic stairs and expandable attic lend themselves to renovation. Original side porch has been enclosed and seller has renovated the kitchen and added 2 screened porches. Vintage home - w NO historic district restrictions - has lots of possibilities. Upgraded plumbing, electrical and hot water. Sold "As Is".
