Discover the epitome of Oakhurst living at 208 Mead, where walkability and charm converge in this vibrant Decatur neighborhood. If you could conjure the ideal childhood setting, Oakhurst would undoubtedly be it. Dubbed "Where Mayberry meets Berkeley," Decatur stands as one of the most coveted small cities to call home. Come inside this quintessential Oakhurst craftsman home, mere steps away from the historic Oakhurst Elementary School, and see for yourself why this community is so beloved. Preserving all the allure of the 1920s Craftsman era, 208 Mead welcomes you with its picturesque arched front porch, original hardwood floors, and even some vintage doors and handles. In 2014, a thoughtful upstairs addition by renowned local builder Hammertime seamlessly integrated with the home's original style. Approaching the residence, you're greeted by a charming front porch, perfect for indulging in morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening cocktails. Step inside to an open concept floor plan, where a cozy sitting area beckons to the right and the living room, dining room, and kitchen seamlessly intertwine. Nestled beyond the stairs, two secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom await. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a retreat with a sprawling walk-in closet and a bathroom boasting a soaking tub and shower. Two additional bedrooms, a shared jack and Jill bathroom, and a versatile sitting area complete the upper level, ideal for an office, homework nook, or play area. Outside, the backyard oasis invites you to unwind with a fire pit, grassy area, and a lower yard perfect for a hammock or lounging. Invite your envious suburban friends to park in the driveway or carport and join in the festivities of Oakhurst PorchFest. Stroll to Oakhurst Village or Downtown Decatur, where endless dining and shopping options await, along with year-round festivals and events. Need a quick dinner plan? Oakhurst Market is just blocks away. Indulge in weekend donuts at Revolution Donuts or peruse the local produce at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays in Oakhurst Village. Spend your weekends feeling that Oakhurst vibe on the patio at Universal Joint, Steinbeck's, Mezcalitos, or Ford's BBQ. When you feel the need for a nature fix, head down to the Wylde Center or any of the lovely public parks Decatur has to offer. Make commuting downtown or to the airport a breeze with East Lake MARTA less than a fifteen minute walk, and Dekalb Avenue routing you via car. With schools within walking distance, children can enjoy a hassle-free commute, while residents can bask in the nostalgic joy of watching kids trek to and from school daily. Experience the best of Oakhurst living at 208 Mead, where cherished memories await in this idyllic Decatur retreat.
