Welcome home to this beautifully restored 1920s bungalow in the heart of Decatur, where original charm meets thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you arrive, you will appreciate the timeless character, including original heart pine floors, detailed moldings, antique doors, and carefully preserved architectural touches throughout. Recent improvements include a fully renovated chef’s kitchen, updated electrical panel, new lighting, fresh interior paint, and a crawlspace drainage system with sump pump and new vapor barrier for peace of mind. Relax and unwind on the dreamy screened-in front porch - the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, or an afternoon nap. The professionally landscaped front garden features drought-tolerant perennial plantings, while the backyard offers raised garden beds ready for spring planting, blooming perennials, and a spacious deck ideal for grilling and dining al fresco. A separate laundry/mudroom adds everyday convenience. The stunning chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, completely remodeled with a vaulted ceiling, designer lighting, quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and a custom-built island incorporating an antique cabinet with an expansive pine wood countertop. Premium stainless steel appliances include a Wolf 36” four-burner gas range with infrared griddle, Wolf convection steam oven, Miele warming drawer, Miele dishwasher, and KitchenAid refrigerator. With generous prep space, storage, and room for dining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room featuring shiplap accents and Rejuvenation lighting. The flexible third bedroom is currently used as a cozy den with a restored fireplace, new gas log insert, and built-in cabinetry. The spacious primary suite features custom closet organization, dual sinks, designer tile, and a large soaking tub. The second bedroom includes a charming decorative fireplace. Rare for this location, the property offers off-street parking with a long driveway wide enough for side-by-side parking, plus a one-car garage. Ideally located in the Lenox Place neighborhood in the City of Decatur, this home is walkable to Downtown Decatur shops and restaurants, just across the tracks from Oakhurst, and convenient to MARTA, local schools, neighborhood parks and the Path.
