The the right, you'll find the secondary bathroom, and beyond that, the other secondary bedroom. Pass through the secondary bedroom's walk in closet (don't miss the extra attic storage door, which could easily be finished to create an even bigger closet!), and you find a huge flex/bonus space! This room has been used as a bedroom, but could easily be used as a media room, office, gym.... you name it! This home offers incredible space, flow, natural light, and has been meticulously cared for by the seller - the original owner! Close to shopping, restaurants, amenities, and only minutes from downtown Decatur!
