This inviting 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage blends vintage character with thoughtful updates and a backyard retreat rarely found at this price point. Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors, a light-filled living room with fireplace, and a separate office featuring custom built-ins—ideal for remote work, study, or a cozy reading space. Both bedrooms open through custom French doors to the heated in-ground saltwater pool and cabana, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow for relaxing or entertaining. The nearly half-acre, fully fenced property offers mature landscaping, privacy, and multiple outdoor zones to enjoy year-round. The kitchen provides good functionality with new appliances, gas cooking, and a new stacked washer/dryer. A second outbuilding with power is perfect for gardening needs, storage, or converting to a studio or detached office. Bedroom two includes custom built-in daybeds with storage that will remain. Located minutes from Emory, CHOA, Decatur, Toco Hills, and an array of dining and shopping options. A rare opportunity to own a character-rich cottage with incredible outdoor amenities.
