Welcome to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick ranch, nestled in the sought-after Medlock Park neighborhood. With its unbeatable location, just a half mile from the Emory University Clairmont Campus and just steps from the picturesque South Peachtree Creek Trail, which connects to both Medlock Park and Mason Mill Park. Medlock Park has a playground, pool, and ballfields, and Mason Mill Park has tennis and pickleball courts. It is a peaceful lot and home in the city, but doesn't feel like it is in the city! You can even hear the owls at night! Inside, natural light floods the living room through a large, south-facing window, highlighting the gorgeous hardwood floors. A versatile bonus space off the living room is perfect for an office, study, or creative nook. The kitchen features timeless hardwood floors, ample cabinet space, and opens to a spacious breakfast room with access to the deck and fenced backyard—ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The home’s two original bedrooms (not pictured because they are being used as storage) feature original hardwood floors in good shape, while the third bedroom (also not pictured because it is being used as storage) offers an en-suite bath and private entrance, making it perfect for guests, a home office, or even an AirBnB rental. The first full bath, the hall bath, is partially updated and super functional, and the laundry room doubles as a convenient pantry for extra storage. A new HVAC was installed in 2023 and new ducts under the house. The roof was installed in July of 2011. Outside, enjoy a large, level front yard and a fully fenced backyard with a storage shed. A generous driveway and parking pad provide ample off-street parking. While this home has been lovingly cared for, it’s ready for your personal touch and updates to make it your own. With its fantastic location and endless potential, this property won’t last long!
