Amazing location with a huge bonus - expansive side yard! The walkability factor cannot be beat - walk to all downtown Decatur has to offer including Taqueria del Sol, Chai Pani, Farm Burger, Dancing Goats, Inner Voice Brewery, and the Marlay. An easy walk to Clairemont Elementary and Marta, too! The spacious floorplan includes a sunroom, breakfast area, large kitchen, screened porch, and four true bedrooms. This double lot in city of Decatur has a creek and lots of natural landscaping. There is always something in bloom, birds to watch, and even occasional bunnies hopping by. The large open kitchen has big windows that overlook the backyard and a screened porch to take full advantage of the large lot. You are close to the city but this is like living in the country. This is a friendly, established, walking neighborhood. Don't miss the Little Free Library.
