Here is the sweet 1950s Decatur bungalow you ave been searching for! Originally the 2/1 floor plan Decatur was known for, this home was lovingly transformed into a right-sized 3/2 to include a more open, modern floor plan and true owner’s suite, while not losing any of its charm. When you drive up, notice the low maintenance, mostly native, fully landscaped yard. This yard is a show-stopper of blooms from Spring through Fall! Next, take a seat on the front, sitting porch, and enjoy the birds and the friendly neighbors before heading inside. The large living room welcomes you home with its gorgeous natural light pouring in from two sides. To your right, there is a spacious dining and kitchen combo soaked in more natural light, also with two walls of windows, adorable tile flooring, charming kitchen and a door to the side yard & driveway. Beyond the living areas are the original 2 bedrooms and full bathroom. The bathroom is updated with a shower/tub combo, has beautiful tile and pedestal sink. The beds flank each side of the hallway that marks the way to the wonderful addition. One of the bedrooms was built without a closet in 1950 and could also be used as a great office space or flex space as well. The addition includes a side by side laundry & storage closet and the owner’s suite. 3 walls of windows in this private bedroom, gracious closets and an attached bathroom with beautiful tile and a large shower – the perfect escape after a long day! Beautiful hardwoods, drool worthy natural light and easy flow from indoor to outdoor living is note-worthy through-out this home. French doors off access to the private back deck in bedroom #2, the hallway and from the owner’s suite! Plenty of room for grill ’n and chill’ n and stairs down to the beautiful, fenced backyard, which is a playground to be coveted! This home is easy walking distance to everything City of Decatur, including schools, Marta, the square, parks, shops, restaurants, cafés and the Stone Mountain bike trail.
