Nestled on a deep lot in East Lake, this beautifully renovated home blends modern updates with classic charm. A cozy front porch leads you into a bright and inviting living room, seamlessly connected to a central dining area and the chef’s kitchen at the rear. Off the living room, a hall foyer leads to the guest bathroom and two generously sized bedrooms, each filled with original character. A newly added screened porch offers a tranquil retreat, easily accessible from both the kitchen and the primary suite. Speaking of the primary suite, it’s a true sanctuary, thoughtfully positioned at the back of the house for maximum privacy and comfort. The en-suite bathroom is bathed in natural light and boasts a spacious layout with a separate shower, soaking tub, double vanities, and a private water closet. Step outside, and you’ll be captivated by the yard’s potential for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. At the front, a charming picket fence envelops the manicured yard, complete with mature landscaping and river rock-lined planters, while the deep front porch adds timeless curb appeal. The screened porch leads to the backyard, which features a grilling deck, a level yard with a full privacy fence, ample sunny spots for gardening, and plenty of room for a pool. Recent updates include an electric vehicle charging station, new windows, additional insulation, and extended yard depth. The home’s location offers incredible convenience, with easy access to popular dining at 2nd & Hosea, shopping and eateries in downtown Decatur and Kirkwood, and more. East Lake is a vibrant neighborhood, home to the East Lake Golf Club, local festivals, a tour of homes, and a tight-knit community. This is your opportunity to put down roots in one of Atlanta’s most sought-after areas.
