Nestled in Decatur's coveted MAK Historic District and just a short stroll to Oakhurst Village, this classic Craftsman bungalow pairs historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Grab coffee at Oakhurst Market, meet friends for dinner at Universal Joint, spend an afternoon at Harmony Park, and enjoy all the neighborhood traditions that make Oakhurst one of Decatur's most beloved communities. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees, the home welcomes you with timeless curb appeal, a welcoming front porch, and beautifully preserved character throughout. Inside, high ceilings, oversized windows, warm hardwood floors, and a fireside living room create an inviting atmosphere, while the fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms bring the kind of Pinterest-worthy style today's buyers are looking for. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, opening easily to the expansive back deck and outdoor living spaces designed for gathering and entertaining. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a true retreat, complete with a sitting area, walk-in closet, beautifully updated bath, and private deck overlooking the trees. One of the property's standout features is the detached carriage house apartment above the two-car garage. Complete with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath, it's ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private office, or potential rental income. With the charm of the MAK District, walkability to Oakhurst Village, beautifully updated interiors, and a guest cottage, this is the kind of home that doesn't come along often.
Mak Historic District, located between Downtown Decatur and Oakhurst, is a historic and walkable Decatur neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a leafy street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Decatur Square crossroads of N McDonough St and E Ponce de Leon Ave, where patios, indie storefronts, and courthouse greenspace set the daily rhythm. Community pillars include the DeKalb History Center, Eddie’s Attic, and the Decatur Arts Alliance. Sidewalks trace past restored porches, pocket gardens, and small civic buildings that reinforce the district’s preservation-first feel. MARTA rail at Decatur Station keeps the geography connected without changing the quiet residential blocks. Festivals and gallery nights spill outward from the square into the surrounding streets.
