Just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Decatur, this classic brick bungalow in sought-after Ponce de Leon Heights captures the best of in-town living. Enjoy tree-lined streets and crisp autumn evenings spent with friends in the spacious backyard. Brimming with character, the home features new windows, upgraded lighting, and a renovated kitchen. Don’t let this Decatur charmer fool you, though; it’s equipped with an EV charger for driveway charging, whole-house water filtration, surge protection, and wiring for AT&T gigabit fiber service. Additional details like built-in Bose 721 stereo speakers and an over-the-air antenna bring convenience and comfort to everyday living. Permanent stairs lead to a walk-up attic, offering easy potential for future expansion. With its timeless charm and walkable location to Decatur’s favorite shops and restaurants, this home perfectly blends classic appeal with modern practicality.
