Less than one block from the amenities of Oakhurst square, this charming bungalow has just been completely refreshed through a designer renovation. Updated windows w/custom top-down, bottom-up window treatments give this light-filled home the desired level of both privacy and views. A marble tile backsplash runs the height of the kitchen and draws your attention to a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, further complimented by glass sconces and brass cabinet pulls. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home, with a custom-made seagrass (known for its durability and easy care) rug in the soon to be busy and well-loved kitchen. Bedrooms feature designer light fixtures, complimenting the original millwork. The bathroom is an oasis featuring a stunning marble floor w/brass detail, custom finished plumbing fixtures, xtra deep tub and an abundance of storage. This home has an extremely comfortable flow and layout, and can easily be expanded. Reno was done w/great care, allowing the new homeowner to relax and enjoy the canopy of mature trees out back while contemplating how to fill the shed. Well maintained roof features architectural shingles, and updated systems include a new furnace installed during reno, A/C unit approx. 2yrs old, and gutters are new. Modern electric SS appliances w/ gas line run to kitchen should new homeowner ever desire to convert to gas cooking. . This home is in the highly sought-after Oakhurst Elementary, Renfroe Middle and Decatur High schools zones.**VACANT AND STAGED**
