About this home

Well-maintained and charming brick ranch in tranquil Forrest Hills--this home is a nature lover's dream. Convenience meets seclusion in this idyllic location, surrounded by greenspace but just a short distance to Downtown Decatur, Avondale Estates, local parks, and walking trails. Recently renovated with newer systems, appliances, and ductwork. Beautiful, light-filled living room and kitchen with a breakfast bar and tons of storage. Picture-perfect original hardwoods all throughout. This home offers three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a half bath for guests. Bonus room is a perfect office or a second living space for entertaining. Step onto the side porch and take in the sight of meandering Shoal Creek, complete with a variety of native flora and fauna. Plenty of side yard and fenced backyard space for pets, gatherings, & gardening--including irrigated garden boxes and a coop for up to six hens. No need to worry about future construction as the adjacent and rear lots are part of the East Decatur Greenway, a nonprofit initiative that connects to the Avondale Marta Station, with the immediate greenspace stewarded by the neighboring Friends School of Atlanta. Wonderful community-focused neighborhood with optional association. Welcome home.
