The front yard is expansive, but it is the backyard that is the true gem with an oversized, inviting patio perfect for a gathering spot with friends that overlooks the large, private fenced yard. On top of all of that, this home has a 1-car garage that has the potential to be a 2-car garage just by replacing door. This home is in the Museum School (1st tier) and The Globe Academy charter school districts. Convenient to CDC, Emory, Agnes Scott, downtown Decatur., EAV, I-20 and I-285.
