About this home

This enchanting cottage located on one of the best streets in Oakhurst has so much to offer! Turn key home features modern touches throughout, but maintains much of its 1930's charm, including gorgeous hardwood floors, glass doorknobs, and even a curved archway leading into the separate dining room. The updated kitchen features high performance countertops, white cabinets, stainless appliances, gas range with vent hood, farmhouse sink, and a good sized pantry. The back door off the kitchen leads to a large screened porch and backyard oasis complete with custom landscaping, firepit, garden, and storage shed. The backyard is fully fenced and flat! On the main floor of the home, there are two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a laundry room. Upstairs is your private owner's suite with en suite bathroom and closet space galore. There is also bonus space upstairs for an office and/or cozy TV room. This house also features an unfinished basement with interior entry through the kitchen that offers wonderful storage options! During their ownership, the Sellers have done many upgrades and updates to the home, including a new high efficiency HVAC system, tankless water heater, whole house water filtration system, and more. Maxwell Street is a wonderful street where friendly neighbors socialize while kids of all ages play together in front yards. Superb location, walking distance to top rated Decatur schools, Oakhurst Park, Oakhurst Village, the dog park and so much more!
