Nestled in the heart of Oak Grove on a rare and private .66-acre flag lot, this beautifully renovated home offers exceptional indoor and outdoor living with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Tucked away among mature trees with an expansive backyard, this property combines privacy, functionality, and luxury in one of Decatur’s most desirable neighborhoods. The fully renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring an oversized island, dual sinks with touch faucets, two dishwashers, a smart double oven with phone connectivity, and an expanded walk-in pantry complete with a custom coffee bar and built-in shelving. The adjacent screened porch features new flooring and overlooks the serene backyard, while the rebuilt deck and newly installed concrete patio create seamless outdoor entertaining spaces. The primary suite has been transformed into a true retreat with a renovated spa-like bathroom featuring heated tile floors, heated towel racks and a built-in lighted magnifying mirror for make up. There is a soaking tub overlooking the backyard, as well as custom-designed closet systems. The daylight basement was recently renovated and opens directly to the backyard, adding substantial flexible living space ideal for a media room, gym, guest suite, or playroom. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the rare 3-car garage setup, including an oversized bay designed to accommodate larger vehicles and wired for 240-volt electric vehicle charging. High lift garage doors were installed to accommodate a car lift. In addition, the home includes a separate boat garage with direct basement access, offering exceptional storage and versatility rarely found in Oak Grove. With extensive renovations, premium upgrades, abundant storage, and one of the more private lots in the neighborhood, this move-in-ready home offers a unique opportunity in the heart of Oak Grove.
North Druid Woods, located between North Druid Hills Road and Clairmont Road, is a wooded and residential North Decatur neighborhood with mid-century ranches and winding, canopy-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Druid Hills Rd & Clairmont Rd crossroads, where a steady stream of local errands and café stops sets the daily rhythm. Architectural lines lean brick-and-ranch with generous lots, while pockets of newer builds appear along the edges. Mason Mill Park and the South Peachtree Creek Trail shape an outdoors-forward routine with shaded paths and creekside greenspace. Community staples such as Sprig Restaurant, The General Muir, and Kudzu Antiques anchor nearby dining and browsing.
