What could be better than getting "a deal" on your new home? Getting an interest rate buydown, that's what! With acceptable offer, seller will fund a 2-1 buydown that equates to hundreds of dollars off of your mortgage payment every month! This is even more powerful than a price reduction. Insurance companies are becoming extremely picky about roofs. BRAND NEW roof = no issue with homeowners insurance! This entire home is charming and it has real hardwood floors, newer energy-efficient windows and fresh paint throughout. Family room has a decorative fireplace. The laundry room is bright and airy and is large enough to double as storage, or craft room, etc. It is also the perfect space for a home office or an exercise room. Updated kitchen has solid, pretty wood cabinetry, is combined with the dining room and contains a lovely wet bar! Off the dining room there are french doors opening into a large fenced-in yard. This yard is sprawling and sunny, perfect for you to your urban farm (chickens are allowed here!). The back and front yards have beautiful mature flowering plants that are a delight in spring and the backyard is especially private, surrounded by fencing and mature hedges. Conveniently located, it's within walking distance to The Friends School, The Waldorf School, Columbia Theological Seminary, DeKalb School of the Arts, the East Decatur Greenway Path and Legacy Park. It's a breeze to get to downtown Decatur, Kirkwood, Oakhurst, Avondale Estates, downtown Atlanta, Emory University, I-20 and I-285 (from which you can get anywhere)! Schedule your tour and come see this adorable home and get a great deal on your interest rate.

Midway Woods, located between Columbia Drive and Memorial Drive, is a residential and wooded Belvedere Park neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a creek-laced landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Columbia Drive corridor near Memorial Drive, where small storefronts, taquerias, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Streets curve through mature tree cover, with deep lots and carports that signal postwar design. Side roads feel tucked away, while the main arterials keep errands and commuting practical. Green space and trail time often center on nearby Shoal Creek Park and the South River corridor.
