Looking for that amazing deal in Decatur? Look no further! My sellers are offering a huge price adjustment as they have found their new home and are motivated to sell fast. In one of the most sought-after neighborhoods, with great City of Decatur schools and close proximity to both Decatur and Atlanta hot spots like Oakhurst, Kirkwood, and East Atlanta, you’ll get all the amenities on a quiet street. This charmer has many recent updates: including new refrigerator/ freezer, fresh paint throughout the house, newly painted cabinets, new washer/dryer, updated and/or newly serviced sewer line, sump pump, furnace, and ducts. You may also qualify for an additional $3500 in closing cost credits with our preferred lender. The four-sided brick, mid-century ranch with architectural shingled roof, sits amidst a beautifully landscaped front lawn, with granite and stone walkways, snaking around each side of the house, leading to the back deck, the back yard, or up to the roomy front porch. Add a swing or a few rocking chairs, it's the perfect place to chat with your neighbors during the afternoon dog/kid walking brigade. The front door opens to a sun filled den with gleaming hardwood floors, which leads into the dining area and breakfast bar, and kitchen, with newly painted, cabinets and new stainless-steel refrigerator. From there, your French doors open to a beautiful wooden deck overlooking an expansive backyard that backs into Dearborn Park. Talk about privacy! The park is a picturesque destination that features seven acres of green space with a boardwalk and gravel trail, basketball court, picnic pavilions, a playground, running streams, and a tranquil pond stocked with fish. A weekend full of activities, in your backyard. A third door into the side of the kitchen makes bringing shopping goodies, right to the refrigerator and gleaming granite counters, a breeze. Wander further into the home, on blonde hardwood floors throughout, you'll find the three sun-filled bedrooms. The two guest rooms share a full bathroom which is updated with modern amenities, while keeping vintage touches like original tile and bathtub. At the end of the hall is the sunlit primary bedroom with attached bathroom. The interior stairs in the middle of the hall take you down to the finished basement, the attached garage, and utility room with new washer dryer and ducts. The basement offers more livable space: a large bonus room with full bathroom, adjacent finished office/workroom, and separate exterior entrance. Make the basement a playroom, home yoga studio, family entertainment room, or fourth bedroom for guests. Want a house hack? Add a hot plate and a microwave, to the second refrigerator, and you have apartment. The full bath and separate exterior entrance make it perfect for family and guests to have plenty of room to live, work, and play. Outside and inside, this is a home that will have something for everyone. Make your best offer today!
