Charming brick Decatur cottage in coveted Springdale Heights neighborhood! This cute-as-a button home sits perched on a hill on a quiet loop zoned Fernbank Elementary. Character abounds in this sweet space-- you'll love the hardwood oak flooring, large picture window, original fireplace, and enameled drainboard sink. This house has great flow! A welcoming front porch opens into a light-filled living room. Off the living area, an updated eat-in kitchen flows to the spacious, fenced-in backyard. There's plenty of room for grilling out, roasting s'mores around the firepit, and fulfilling your urban homesteader dreams (or just cozying up in a hammock with a good book!). A detached garage is the perfect workshop, or get creative and realize your dream tiny house. Savvy buyers, this home is perfectly placed on a huge lot in a quiet neighborhood within a fabulous school cluster. Only a few blocks from MARTA, downtown Decatur, Glenn Creek Nature Preserve, and the convenient shopping district off N. Decatur, which includes Wholefoods and Sprouts. Homeowners have been wonderful stewards of this home-- the HVAC was replaced in 2022, electrical updates have been completed, and they've worked with an arborist to remove 6 trees and ensure the health of their beautiful tree canopy.
