Charming home in the heart of Oakhurst at a rare price point! This 3 bedrooms 2 bathroom cottage sitting on a picture-perfect street won't last long. At a little over 1300 sq.ft, this home has the old school 1950s charm of original hardwood floors blended with updates from 2005. Three bedrooms line the southern half of the home, each offering plenty of closet space. Opposite, the living room leads to a separate sitting area, and onward to the kitchen and dining area.. A big part of this property's charm lies in the lot itself -- a massive, private back yard that offers ample space for gardening, bonfires, grilling, outdoor play & possible expansion down the road. An imaginative new owner will love its current livability and find joy in undertaking some aesthetic upgrades and capital improvements over time. In case you haven't checked the map yet, the location itself is outstanding. For such a quiet, tree-lined street, it is hard to grasp just how close to everything life at 218 Jefferson Place is. This home is located in the City of Decatur & is walking distance to all of the districted schools which are among the best in the state (Oakhurst Elementary, Renfroe Middle, Fifth Avenue's 4/5 Academy, and Decatur High). And, getting around is a cinch: College Avenue is just a block-and-a-half to the north, and if public transport is part of your lifestyle, the East Lake MARTA stop is less than a mile away. Eight minutes on a bike will land you at brunch in downtown Decatur; a 7-minute walk takes you to the eateries surrounding Oakhurst Village Square. Athletic facilities, the library, a dog park… everything is just right there. Ideal for a budding family who wants a home to grow into for the long run. $450,000. Serious Inquiries Only.
