Tucked away in sought-after Lenox Place, this classic 2-story craftsman colonial radiates warmth, comfort, and timeless style. A welcoming rocking chair front porch sets the tone before stepping inside to a spacious, light-filled floor plan. A formal living room and generous dining room frame the entryway, while hardwood floors flow into the custom kitchen, complete with honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar overlooking the fireside family room. French doors lead to a screened porch, deck with outdoor fireplace, and a flat, fenced, meticulously manicured backyard — the perfect setting for entertaining, gardening, or unwinding at the end of the day. The main level also features a bedroom with a full bath, ideal for guests, in-laws, or a private office. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true retreat with a walk-in closet, frameless marble shower, and dual vanity. Two additional bedrooms and one full bath complete the second floor, providing comfortable and versatile living space. Beyond the front door, the lifestyle is unbeatable. Just a short stroll away, downtown Decatur beckons with its award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, and vibrant nightlife. The neighborhood’s crown jewel, Adair Park, offers 4 acres of green space with a playground, picnic areas, and dog park. With easy access to Midtown, Downtown, MARTA, Emory, Ponce City Market and the CDC—all while being surrounded by some of the most historic and bucolic neighborhoods in metro Atlanta—this home truly has goodness in every direction.
