Gorgeous, spacious home in heart of Oakhurst! Do you like a front porch view of the annual Madison Ave Soap Box Derby? Do you like your neighbors coming together on Halloween for a perfect night of trick or treating? Do you like the best bands of PorchFest coming to your street each year? Then this is the house for you! If you don't like those things, then just be a curmudgeon with a beautiful bungalow and no friends. Doesn't matter to me! This updated 4 br/2.5 bath features a flowing floor plan with separate living, dining and entertainment space. The large updated kitchen overlooks sunny entertainment area and idyllic screened porch with adjustable shades. Host cookouts on the large attached deck as well. Green and landscaped backyard with detached shed that makes for a perfect art studio, work from home office, or workshop. Large walk-in basement space with room for a the man cave or she shed of your dreams. Walk to everything Oakhurst has to offer: City of Decatur schools, dog parks, playgrounds, shopping and dining. Also less than 10 min walk to Kirkwood Village, Bessie Branham Park, Hosea + Second, MARTA, and my friend Ali's house (always has beer.) Actually, come quick as I may move in myself. This one's a winner!
