Tucked along one of Oakhurst's most storied streets — platted in the early 1900s as one of Decatur's first planned communities — 221 3rd Avenue carries the neighborhood's spirit in every detail. This fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with intention. Historic hardwoods run throughout, 10-foot ceilings open things up, and upgraded lighting sets the tone in every room. The chef's kitchen features a generous island with bar seating and flows into a dining space that seats 10+ — ideal for the way people actually gather — before opening into a living room with custom built-ins that spills directly onto a screened-in deck perfect for grilling and unwinding. The primary suite is a true retreat with a rain shower for two and a walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms and a flex room offer space for guests, a home office, or a homework haven. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped .18-acre lot with a backyard fire pit, play area, and a dedicated pad ready for a future garage or carriage house — a rare find in Oakhurst. Walk to schools, the park, and Oakhurst Village, and claim a front-row seat to Porchfest every September. An unbeatable location, thoughtful renovations, and room to make it your own — this Oakhurst gem is one you won't want to miss.
