Don't miss a rare opportunity to own this timeless classic, updated for modern life! This classic features a large open floor plan with granite counters, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, which opens into both the family and dining rooms. Original heart of pine flooring has been refinished throughout the first floor’s kitchen, family room, mudroom, bar, bedroom (currently showing as an office) & formal living room (recently remodeled as a ‘tween room for hanging out and virtual school...) with a warm, functioning fireplace for winter nights. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths including the master bedroom w/a walk in closet & built-in dresser, a roomy master bath w/original claw foot tub, granite, & a large frameless shower. The laundry is conveniently tucked away upstairs, or the mudroom closet is stubbed should you want to move laundry downstairs. Other features include spray foam insulation (hard and soft shell), central vacuum, surround sound throughout, irrigation system, repurposed original wood paneling, original windows (exteriors used as interiors for additional light/transoms), a large screened porch, a brand new rear deck, & much more! Zoned R-60 & grandfathered legal non-conforming as a duplex, however, after the last custom renovation, it now functions as a SINGLE FAMILY w/an ACCESSORY UNIT that makes a perfect in-law suite. Get the best of both worlds in the COD w/this 4 Bed/3.5 Bath & 1Bed/1Bath (with stove!). Please Note:The lower level bed/bath count is the Accessory unit. Walkable to all that downtown Decatur and Oakhurst have to offer (approx. 1 mile), w/numerous schools, parks, bike trails, dog parks, churches, & easy access to Marta. Schedule a showing, you will not be disappointed!
