There are certain pockets of Decatur that even longtime locals don't fully know about, and the M H Womack neighborhood is one of them. Tucked away just off the energy of it all, it offers a quieter, more residential feel while still keeping you remarkably close to the heartbeat of Decatur Square. This 1926 brick home fits that setting beautifully. It carries the kind of presence you hope for in a home of this era, with a welcoming front porch, solid masonry construction, and hardwood floors that have held up over time. Step inside and the living room immediately centers around a classic brick fireplace, the kind that gives the space a sense of grounding even as the layout flows easily from one room to the next. The primary bedroom sits just off the living room, tucked away with its own ensuite bath finished in marble tile and a glass-enclosed shower. It feels private without being disconnected. The dining room opens up beyond, positioned in front of French doors that lead out to a back deck that is, quite honestly, larger than most people expect to find in a setting like this. The kitchen strikes a thoughtful balance between old and new, with white cabinetry, dark stone countertops, an induction cooktop, and plenty of workspace. It connects naturally to the rest of the home while still offering its own defined area. On the opposite side, a smaller bedroom works well as a den or office and leads down a short hallway to the third bedroom and full bath, creating a layout that gives everyone a bit of breathing room. And then you step outside. The backyard is something special. Designed and cultivated by Ryan Gainey, it feels less like a yard and more like a private garden retreat. Mature trees, layered plantings, and quiet sitting areas create a space that invites you to slow down. Morning coffee by the bird feeder, a quiet start to the day watching the light come through the trees, it's the kind of setting that stays with you. There's also a secondary deck that once held a hot tub, offering flexibility for how you might want to use the space moving forward. Below the home, a partially encapsulated basement provides solid storage now with the potential for more down the line. The practical pieces are in place as well. HVAC and tankless water heater are both new as of 2026. The roof is approximately 10 years old. And then there's the location. From Ponce de Leon Court, you're a short walk into Decatur Square, where everything that makes Decatur Square so loved is right there. Local restaurants, independent shops, festivals, live music, and a sense of community that feels real and not manufactured. It's lively without being overwhelming, and it's one of the reasons people stay in Decatur once they find their way here. This is the kind of home that doesn't try too hard. It simply offers what it has, and what it has is a lot.
