Medlock Park, located between Clairmont Road and Scott Boulevard, is a residential and park-centered North Decatur neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a creekside greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Medlock Park itself, where ballfields, tennis courts, and shaded trails set a steady, outdoors-forward rhythm. Brick ranches and split-levels sit under mature tree cover, with sidewalks that link back to the park and South Fork Peachtree Creek. A short drive away, the independent screens at Plaza Theatre and the live-music calendar at Eddie’s Attic act as cultural touchpoints. For coffee and a local hangout, Dancing Goats Coffee Bar at Emory Point adds a polished, everyday stop.

Ready to reimagine and create a mid century modern ranch home in Hot Medlock Park by Emory and City of Decatur? Bring your contractor, engineer and take care of your scope of work before submitting the contract please. No blind offers. Seller prefers seasoned investors who understand how to prepare their budget and scope of work ahead of time and are ready to go in As Is and move to close. This home has a unique layout that you have to experience first hand to see how this has potential for being a design/build playground with its 2 story room with fireplace and jacuzzi in the back overlooking the woods, trap door down to a private screened porch and loft bedroom on one end of the home. The other option is to tear down for new construction. Fun fact. This is the former home of the Real Doc Hollywood. Here you have a very deep, wooded lot in the back to expand the home design back or make room to build a new, larger home. Notice the true log cabin with fireplace in the back yard that needs a little TLC, but has a previously patented pulley system to move the roof from the main cabin to the porch and back. Bring your contractor or builder and create your own vision. And, as location is everything...this location is close to Emory, City of Decatur (without paying the city taxes) and walkable to Medlock Park's pool, playground, and baseball fields. And, if you love to take walks in the woods, look no further. Medlock Park neighbors enjoy the use of South Peachtree Creek Trail, a paved greenway connecting Medlock Park to Mason Mill Park, and various unpaved "social trails". The South Peachtree Creek Trail is part of the PATH Foundation network and features a boardwalk section. You also have direct access to Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve and trails. Intown living that is steps away from nature. Fryer Law Firm Decatur location is the preferred closing attorney. Property priced below appraised value.
