In Greater Decatur, this polished 3-bedroom,2-bath ranch at 840 Vista Way offers the kind of comfort, flexibility, and outdoor space that is increasingly hard to find. Set on a private, level, landscaped lot, the home blends classic character with practical updates and a backyard designed to be enjoyed every day. Inside, the kitchen is both bright and functional, featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, a pantry, and a stainless steel appliance package with Bosch, Whirlpool, and GE appliances. It opens to a generous living room where four oversized windows bring in natural light, highlighting the crown molding and refinished hardwood floors. A separate dining room adds definition to the layout and creates an inviting place for everyday meals or larger gatherings. One of the home’s standout features is the spacious primary suite, complete with an oversized closet, custom shower, and its own separate entrance, offering added privacy and versatility. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide room for guests, a home office, or changing household needs.The connection to the outdoors is especially appealing here. French doors from the dining room lead to a generous deck that overlooks an exceptional backyard. Manicured and fully usable, the yard includes a grassy play area, a play structure, mulched planting beds, and an 8 -foot perimeter privacy fence that creates a peaceful, tucked-away setting. Aluminum powder-coated fencing between the backyard and driveway adds another thoughtful detail. Whether you enjoy gardening, entertaining, or simply having room to spread out, this outdoor space delivers. Additional features include a storage room behind the 2 car carport, an outbuilding, a clean encapsulated crawlspace, and a partial daylight basement with both interior and exterior access—ideal for laundry, a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage, & NEW driveway in 2021. Convenient to Downtown Decatur, Avondale, Lulah Hills, Your DeKalb Farmers Market, Medlock Park, South Peachtree Creek Trail, downtown Decatur, and Emory University, this location keeps daily errands, green space, dining, and major destinations close at hand. If you’ve been searching for a move-in-ready ranch with charm inside and a backyard that truly stands out, this new listing is well worth a closer look.
