Beautifully renovated mid-century modern living in the heart of Decatur. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, pairing clean mid-century lines with fresh, modern finishes, plus a versatile flex space, a rare find at this price point. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a full hallway bath, and a well-appointed half bath rounds out the living space, alongside a flex space perfect as a home office, den, or guest room. Step outside to a large deck perfect for entertaining, overlooking a big, flat, usable yard with a shed, a rare combination in this part of Decatur. Ideally located just minutes from Emory University, downtown Decatur, Midtown Atlanta, downtown Atlanta, Oakhurst, and Avondale Estates, this home puts some of the metro's best dining, shopping, and green space within easy reach, all while offering the quiet, established feel of a classic Decatur neighborhood.
