This farmhouse has the kind of charm and space that just feels good to come home to. With standout curb appeal and a setting tucked back from the road, it offers a little extra privacy while still being minutes from Oakhurst, Downtown Decatur, Kirkwood, I-20 and 285. Inside, the layout flows easily, with an additional living area open to the kitchen that naturally becomes the hub for everyday life and gatherings. There is a third bedroom that would work perfectly as a home office nursery, yoga room or anything else your lifestyle needs. The huge fenced backyard is a rare find, with room for pets, gardening, play, or even chickens, plus a rear deck ready for cookouts and relaxing evenings. A long driveway provides plenty of parking and easy turnaround. Major updates are already done, including a roof under three years old, new HVAC, new hot water heater, new kitchen appliances, fresh paint and a new shed. A great mix of character, usable space, and a location that keeps you close to everything.
