Built in 1925, this charming Craftsman is ready for its next chapter, offering the architectural character, ample room sizes, and timeless appeal that make vintage Decatur homes so irresistible.

Imagine a leisurely morning coffee on the porch, a friendly wave to the neighbors, or simply enjoying the pleasure of coming home to a house with this much personality. Inside, a grand central hallway sets the stage, introducing the gracious proportions and highly functional layout that have stood the test of time. The living room’s brick fireplace creates a cozy focal point for cool evenings, good books, and even better company.

With three generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, there’s room to create the spaces that suit your life, whether that means restful retreats, a home office, an artist studio, or a little of each. Original plaster walls, distinctive picture rail molding, and crown molding throughout serve as wonderful reminders of the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

This is a home for someone who appreciates original character and sees the possibilities in a property with wonderful bones. Bring your discerning eye, your favorite design ideas, and your vision for the future.

Equally walkable is Gene’s and Poor Hendrix in East Lake. Zoned for the award-winning City of Decatur schools, the positives just keep coming. If you’ve been waiting for a home with soul, substance, and room for your imagination to shine, this delightful Craftsman is ready to meet you. Come see the possibilities—and get ready to fall in love!
Oakhurst, located between Downtown Decatur and Kirkwood, is a residential and walkable Decatur neighborhood with a village-style commercial strip and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the College Avenue and East Lake Drive corridor, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century cottages set a consistent architectural rhythm, with pocket parks and front-porch streetscapes shaping daily routines. Sceptre Brewing Arts anchors the local beer-and-arts scene, while Universal Joint and Steinbeck’s Restaurant & Bar serve as long-running gathering spots. Oakhurst Park adds courts, fields, and shaded paths that connect the neighborhood’s calm blocks to its busier corners.
