Completely renovated top-to-bottom 1950s home is a hidden sanctuary but in the middle of it all! Located on a quiet tree-canopied street close to Emory and downtown Decatur, this all brick one level home is sited on a large private lot adj to the City of Decatur line - affording all the city amenities without the high taxes – and zoned for coveted Fernbank Elem! Dining/retail/shopping, MARTA, Glenlake Park, Medlock Park & PATH are a stones throw away! The renovation saw improved floor plan/flow, new roof, systems, kitchen, baths, flooring, lighting, etc. This is essentially a new house! Step inside the front door to a private foyer (not directly into the living room, ugh!) and notice the beautiful hardwood floors that are throughout. Continue through the spacious dining room w/ unique tray ceiling to the stunning kitchen featuring a huge island w/ seating for 4, leathered quartz counters and Jenn-Air appliances adjacent to the family room making this the heart of the home. There is also a sweet covered porch off the kitchen for your morning coffee or evening cocktail! The warm, inviting family room has a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace and light-filled french doors to the deck and fully fenced private back yard. The master features a large bath w/ double vanity, shower w/ glass surround, private water closet and walk in closet! Two guest bedrooms (one currently used as an office) also have their own baths. A laundry room/mud room leads to covered parking so no getting wet, or hot or cold getting to/from your car! Exterior entry unfinished basement is dry and great for storage! Sounds perfect, right? This is truly a must see for style, quality, convenience and charm!
