This charming ranch-style home is filled with natural light throughout and features hardwood floors, a true 3 bedroom layout, and an additional flex space ideal for a home office, playroom, or workout space. Just off the kitchen, the dedicated dining room offers a welcoming space for everyday meals and gatherings and flows into the bright living room featuring a large picture window overlooking the generous front yard. Outside, a spacious deck offers plenty of room for both dining and outdoor lounging, all overlooking the spacious backyard complete with a storage shed and ample space for entertaining friends and family. Lovingly maintained over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a full primary suite and bathroom renovation completed in late 2024, limewashed exterior brick in 2023, newer refrigerator and dishwasher, updated landscaping in both the front and backyard, and backyard fencing completed in 2024. Residents of the neighborhood enjoy easy access to Medlock Park’s pool, playgrounds, ballfields, and nearby outdoor destinations including Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve and the South Peachtree Creek Trail. Conveniently located near Downtown Decatur, Toco Hills, Emory University, and CDC, the location offers easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and major employment centers while remaining tucked into one of the area’s most established and sought-after communities. Zoned for highly rated Fernbank Elementary School, the neighborhood continues to see strong growth and investment, with the nearby Lulah Hills development set to bring approximately 320,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, entertainment, trails, and green space. 2551 Harrington Drive offers the perfect blend of convenience, community, and charm. Don’t miss this rare opportunity in beloved Medlock Park!
