With a large sunroom both in front and back of the home, there is plenty of year-round space for entertaining, playing or lounging. Head outside through the French doors to your own fenced-in beautifully landscaped backyard. Enjoy the outdoors on the spacious patio + the perfect spot for a grill. 1 ½ car garage provides ample storage and parking. With finished stairs leading to unfinished attic AND unfinished basement, this home ready to grow with you and your family! Amazing walkable location, close to downtown Oakhurst and downtown Kirkwood, both areas with plenty of local shops, restaurants and parks. Only minutes to Emory, CDC, major highways and MARTA.
