Find a turnkey new build that doesn’t require upfront investments to make it livable? Too bad it’s another cookie-cutter white farmhouse with a sea of beige finishes. 1391 Oldfield strikes the perfect middle ground for exhausted homebuyers searching for a home with character and modern convenience. With updated systems, thoughtful owner upgrades, and all the charm of its original 1950s design, this home offers the best of both worlds. Enter through the front door into a bright, open living and dining space surrounded by windows that fill the room with natural light. The stylish galley kitchen pairs herringbone tile floors with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and newer stainless steel appliances. The primary suite is color-drenched in a soft sage green, creating a peaceful, sanctuary-like retreat. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom round out the home, with plenty of closet space for all your worldly treasures. The standout? The wraparound screened porch overlooking the fully fenced backyard. There’s room to lounge on an outdoor sofa, dine al fresco, or even host friends for an early-morning yoga session. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to linger a little longer and might just become your favorite room in the house. An EV charger completes the home’s practical upgrades. And as if you needed another reason to fall in love, 1391 Oldfield is nestled in the heart of Midway Woods, a neighborhood known for its tight-knit community. Come Halloween, the neighborhood truly comes alive as neighbors welcome trick-or-treaters from near and far. Located in unincorporated DeKalb County, you’ll enjoy proximity to Decatur without City of Decatur property taxes. Avondale Estates, Downtown Decatur, and Legacy Park are just minutes away, with the Waldorf School of Atlanta and The Museum School of Avondale Estates nearby. Buy 1391 Oldfield, and you’re not just buying a house. You’re buying a home and a place in a community.
Midway Woods, located between Columbia Drive and Memorial Drive, is a residential and wooded Belvedere Park neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a creek-laced landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Columbia Drive corridor near Memorial Drive, where small storefronts, taquerias, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Streets curve through mature tree cover, with deep lots and carports that signal postwar design. Side roads feel tucked away, while the main arterials keep errands and commuting practical. Green space and trail time often center on nearby Shoal Creek Park and the South River corridor.
