Treehouse living in the City of Decatur? Better. Welcome to 412 Drexel Avenue, a rare three-level townhome tucked into one of Decatur’s most walkable pockets, offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and the kind of setting buyers don’t stumble into often. Inside, the layout delivers flexibility where it counts, including a standout office or flex space framed by a dramatic A-frame window overlooking the street, perfect for working, creating, or pretending to work while watching the neighborhood go by. Out back, the property opens to something unexpected: a peaceful creek winding through mature trees and stunning Japanese maples, creating a private natural backdrop that feels miles outside the city. With three separate decks, there’s no shortage of spots to enjoy morning coffee, evening wine, or simply the sound of the water rolling by. It’s the kind of setting that makes you forget you’re in the middle of one of Metro Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. Need a little ground-level space too? Just off the garage, a fenced-in private yard area offers the perfect spot for pets, container gardening, or your own tucked-away outdoor retreat. Located in the highly sought-after City Schools of Decatur district and just moments from Downtown Decatur, this home puts you close to award-winning restaurants, local shops, festivals, and MARTA access. Even better, Downtown Decatur continues to evolve through the Town Center 2.0 renovation around the historic courthouse square, bringing expanded green space, a new performance stage, enhanced gathering areas, and improved pedestrian flow, making an already thriving downtown even more desirable.
