Charming bungalow in great location convenient to Emory, CDC, VA Hospital and downtown Decatur! Walk to Medlock Park and the PATH, as well as numerous new shopping destinations. Among its many virtues are the immaculate hardwood floors throughout, fantastic sun room and a large, level back yard. Roof has recently been replaced and systems have been updated and maintained over the years. Unusual for the neighborhood is the spacious master bath with walk-in closet space. Don't miss the bonus room, which would make a perfect office or nursery.
