FULLY RENOVATED: New Roof, New Tankless Water Heater, New HVAC system, New Appliances. Set back on a verdant front lawn, this charming traditional home offers loads of space in Decatur’s quiet Clairmont Heights neighborhood, with dining, shopping, and outdoor amenities all an easy stroll away. Inside, the home’s living area bims with natural light from a triptych of picture windows. Handsome hardwood floors gleam underfoot through more than 3,036 square feet, and with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, find plenty of room for a big or growing family. Find brand-new stainless appliances (36-inch gas stove with custom range hood!), quartz-topped counters, and a coffee bar in the showpiece kitchen. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, including an owner’s suite with walk-in glass shower and marble and gold accents. The 2 other bedrooms here share a hall bath. Downstairs is a bonus living space beaming with natural light and a den with high ceilings and brick fireplace, ready to add warmth and ambiance to gatherings. A full bath, 4th bedroom, and laundry room complete the lower level. Given the neighborhood’s walkability, plan on leaving your car in the 2-space carport. Find shopping and dining at North Decatur Plaza, a few blocks south, and other pleasant ambles will take you to the wood-lined creek at Ira B. Melton Park, to the pool and ball fields at Medlock Park, or the many bike and walking trails winding through Emory.
