Situated on one of the largest lots in the highly sought-after Westfield Square community, this classic, all-brick home is a peaceful retreat. Enter through the beautiful double doors into the light and airy front entrance hall, before heading into the thoughtfully designed, vaulted ceiling great room. With a wall of bookshelves and a warm, inviting gas fireplace, this space is a perfect gathering spot for family and friends. Move into the elegant dining room to enjoy freshly prepared meals for holidays and special occasions. Chefs will love the updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, tile backsplash, upgraded stainless steel appliances and abundant cabinet space, including a wall of oversized cabinets. The kitchen island, with a built-in microwave, offers generous prep and serving spaces. The adjacent breakfast area, currently being used as a sitting area, flows into the screened sunroom, providing more options for dining, or to unwind after a long day. From here, step outside to the fabulous back deck, ideal for grilling, entertaining or just relaxing. Tucked away from the main living areas are two bedrooms, each with their own vanity areas and a shared tub/shower. A half bathroom and large laundry room with sink, complete the main level. Upstairs, the generous-sized primary suite is a true sanctuary, with a spa-like bathroom, and two large closets. The connecting flex room offers versatility for a home office, exercise room, or even additional closet space. The very spacious second bedroom has its own bathroom and a large closet too! The walk-out basement has three finished rooms, currently being used as a home office, gym and recreation room. Additional highlights of this home include Bali window shades that can move up or down; an almost new roof, newer HVAC systems and hot water heater…so no need to put those items on your “to-do” list any time soon! Don’t miss the abundant storage options throughout the home, including spacious closets, a sizable attic area, and a dedicated basement storage room. Adults and kids alike will enjoy the expansive backyard, featuring a fire pit and a “King of Swings” children’s playset. Parking is a breeze in the spacious two car garage, with an epoxy coated floor, a newer garage door opener and insulated garage door. Just outside the garage is a huge, level parking pad that can fit three or more cars, giving your guests plenty of parking options. The weekly yard maintenance is included with your HOA dues, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the outdoor spaces without the hassles of maintenance. There is SO much to appreciate with this prime, north Decatur location, offering easy access to Buckhead, Emory, Toco Hills and major highways. The new Lula Hills mixed-use development, scheduled to open in 2027, is just minutes away. Enjoy the nearby local dining spots including: The Grove, Napoleon’s Grill and Sprig Restaurants. The popular Oak Grove Market is also minutes away. With its exceptional lot, thoughtful updates, and unbeatable location, this Westfield Square gem is ready to welcome you home!
