Masterful True Mid-Century (1961) sprawling, original ranch. Re-imagined for today's lifestyle while preserving her vintage vibe chic nature, this home features an oversized cozy paneled family room with fireplace and glass doors that open to the screened porch. This thoughtfully designed retreat is nestled under old growth oak trees. And the wonderful cul-de-sac style lot is unusually private as it isn't a cut through street so if it's peace you're wanting, you can find it here. The house's central space is a large eat-in kitchen with original pine cabinets and linoleum tile flooring that hearken to the simple life. Original pink tile in the double toilet/sink bathroom is punched up by fun wallpaper to enhance the fun. Three bedrooms, carport and large yard on quiet dead end street. Location is close to all the best of the east side of Decatur and Avondale Estates with fun restaurants and shops and convenient to I-285 and Memorial Drive to make getting anywhere easy peasy.
