Welcome to Decatur! This move in ready home features tons of light and bright space in one of the hottest (and most affordable) Decatur neighborhoods left inside the perimeter. Take a rest on the rocking chair front porch, perfect for relaxing on summer evenings, while your in-laws enjoy their own private suite with kitchen and large backyard deck. Or get to socializing in your fabulous gourmet kitchen which features a spacious island, butcher block counter tops, a TON of stylish blue cabinets, ceramic tile floors, stainless steel appliances, and more pantry space than you can shake a spatula at! Two of the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary tile and fixtures. Too many upgrades to mention: Newly refinished original hardwood floors; Brand new (Jan 2025) HVAC and 2023 instant hot water heater; sewer lines replaced with PVC; updated breaker panel. Plus, this is one of the very few houses in the neighborhood with a basement. This 600 square foot(!) unfinished basement can be finished to 8' ceilings, with HUGE potential for a man cave or a workshop, or just tons of clean, dry storage. Close to Emory, CDC, CHOA, Lula Hills, Avondale Estates, Decatur Square, and everywhere you want to be intown Atlanta!
