City of Decatur Schools/Walking Distance to Downtown Decatur. This rock solid mid-century gem offers generous rooms, primary on main, and a separate apartment over the detached 2 car garage. A little TLC would make it exceptional! Neighboring renovated homes selling in the $1M - $2M range. Follow the long slightly elevated drive deep into the lush landscaping. You'll find plenty of parking options tucked neatly behind. An all-season room overlooks the trees and connects to the updated eat-in kitchen and fireside family room. Or you can welcome guests through the front foyer that separates the two downstairs bedrooms from the gathering spots, including an oversized dining room perfect for get-togethers. Head upstairs to find two additional bedrooms separated by a spacious, open room with easy access to the centrally located full bath.
