With freshly finished hardwood floors, new windows throughout and a kitchen with a view that will make your jaw drop.

Downstairs you will find a surprisingly large master suite that features His & Hers walk-in closets, a fabulous travertine bathroom complete with spa-inspired shower, double vanity and water closet. You'll feel like you're on vacation 24/7. Best of all is the location, right around the corner from Sprouts, Whole Foods 360 and a super short 2 mile commute to CDC & Emory. Don't miss all the amazing storage space in garage and huge walk-up attic, that could easily be turned into a 5th bedroom, office or bonus play space. But the best part of this home is definitely it's 268 foot deep lot with privacy galore, mature Japanese maple trees and indigenous perennial gardens, it's like having your very own private park in the heart of Decatur. Don't miss the tiny house all the way in the back of the backyard. Perhaps you need more space for an art studio? Maybe you've recently taken up meditation? Whatever your new hobby might be, this little house is the perfect place for it! All your dreams are waiting to come true at 218 Willow Lane!
