A true City of Decatur Bungalow. Built in 1925 this home is a testament to the timeless elegance of bygone days. This beautiful home has been lovingly restored and maintained, blending historical authenticity with modern living. Recent updates include copper gutters, newly painted exterior, interior, refinished hardwood floors (oak in the public areas, heart pine in the private areas) and updated light fixtures that highlight the homes historic charm. The original plaster walls have been painstakingly refurbished, making this home a true historic gem. Don’t miss the original built-in bookcases in the living room, original built-in cabinets and original seating area in the breakfast nook. One neat not to be missed fact– a drawer in the breakfast nook built in retains the signature of its maker. The original hardware on the built-in bookcase and built in cabinet in the breakfast nook has been replated while preserving its past. The original doors, windows, trim, and moldings have been stripped before reinstallation and repainting. The original cast-iron clawfoot tub was refinished in 2024. Period-appropriate push button light switches with oil rubbed bronze switch cover plates and polished nickel switch cover plates have been installed throughout the home. Nestled in the Oakhurst neighborhood, a community in popular City of Decatur schools. This meticulously maintained and lovingly treasured home is not just a place to live but an opportunity to become a part of a thriving community.
