Beautiful Midway Woods cottage in sought-after Decatur area. Gorgeous hardwood floors, lots of natural light and a large, fenced back yard are some of the highlights of this home. An added bonus you don't often see in homes in this area and timeframe is a large, separate laundry room. It's big enough to serve as a laundry room/mudroom combo, with outside access from both the front and back exteriors of the home. Roof and all gutters replaced in 2023. This home has all the charm of an intown bungalow, but with modern conveniences like an enclosed one-car garage with automatic door opener. There's not much to dislike about this charming home convenient to downtown Decatur and Avondale. It also has easy access to major roads while still being tucked away on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood. The floor plan has three bedrooms, but along the way one of the bedrooms lost its closet to add a small en-suite bathroom to what is now the primary bedroom. So please be aware that one of the rooms being used as a bedroom does not have a closet.
