About this home

Welcome to 1170 Walker Drive, a thoughtfully updated 1951 home nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Forrest Hills neighborhood in Decatur. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends timeless charm with modern updates, featuring beautiful hardwood floors on the main level and matching LVP upstairs for a cohesive feel throughout. The main living area flows naturally into a dedicated dining room complete with stunning built-ins, offering both character and functionality, while the updated kitchen showcases custom finishes and stainless steel appliances alongside renovated bathrooms that elevate everyday living. Just off the dining room, step into a screened-in porch that seamlessly connects to a brand-new deck—creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxing. The layout offers two bedrooms and one bath on the main level, with an additional bedroom and full bath upstairs, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. One of the standout features is the expansive garage and flex space, with one bay for traditional use and an additional finished area already in place, plus stair access to the attic—offering incredible potential for a future home office, gym, or even an ADU. Situated on a beautifully landscaped, manageable lot with a flat backyard and firepit, the outdoor space is ideal for both play and entertaining. The location is truly exceptional—walkable to downtown Avondale Estates, Avondale Lake and Legacy Park, with quick access to downtown Decatur, all while being in unincorporated DeKalb County and eligible for The Museum School lottery. Forrest Hills is known for its strong sense of community, beloved local traditions, and access to neighborhood favorites like Walter’s Woods and the East Decatur Greenway. With its blend of character, updates, flexibility, and an unbeatable neighborhood setting, this home presents a rare opportunity to become part of one of Decatur’s most cherished communities.
