If the house doesn't sell you, the neighborhood certainly will! This 4 bedroom and 2.5 bath home is ready for new homeowners after being lovingly cared for by its current owners for more than 35 years! With a new roof and recent HVAC and water heater, the bones are in great shape and ready for specific updates a buyer might want to make on their own. Features to this great home include: 4 generous sized bedrooms on the upper level with a separate home office, a separate living room, dining room and family room on the main level and hardwood floors throughout. The full basement has great storage and a workshop but could easily be transformed into new livable space to suit ones needs. (i.e. his space, her space or kids space!) The wonderful neighborhood has friendly neighbors and is more of a front yard community where everyone meets up and hangs out together. Living in this home you're a stone's throw from your neighborhood church, Laurel Ridge Elementary and Druid Hills Middle schools, and a short walk to Publix Grocery. All this conveniently located to Emory, CDC, Downtown Decatur and all Atlanta interstates.
