Back on market, seller backed out due to personal family reasons. Tranquil elegance. This fee simple townhouse with a location second to none is literally 1-2minute drive to beautiful downtown Decatur with all its restaurants, boutique shops and famous street festivals and yet tucked away along a quiet avenue under a mature tree canopy where you can listen too the music of a babbling brook!

Vaulted ceilings and hardwoods on main, fresh paint, , granite and stainless appliances in a bright kitchen, granite in all bathrooms. This home offers an abundance of ambient light throughout, a bonus room/office and custom closets off master. A 4 season enclosed sunroom, 2 decks and plantation shutters that add an extra level of class and finish. This home is truly "turn Key" ready and priced well below a recent 07/2020 appraisal
