Boasting an ideal location just minutes from downtown Decatur, Oakhurst Village, East Lake Golf Course, and Kirkwood, this charming craftsman cottage offers the very best of intown living with convenient access to some of the city's finest dining, parks, and culture. Nestled on a quiet, idyllic street in the historic East Lake community, this home welcomes you from the moment you arrive. Set on a spacious and flat +/- 0.3-acre lot with a gate, the freshly painted exterior, new front stoop and classic charm make for undeniable curb appeal. Step inside to a light, bright and airy interior where hardwood floors flow throughout. The spacious living room is anchored by a fireplace and flows seamlessly into the open dining area, creating an easy, natural flow for everyday living and entertaining. The renovated kitchen features a newly added built-in bar area with extra cabinetry and countertops that maximizes use of the space, and the rare, large walk-in pantry is ideal for added storage. A farmhouse sink overlooks the backyard and touches like the open wooden shelving, continuous backsplash, and tongue-and-groove wood ceilings add warmth and character to the space. French doors from the dining area open to a freshly painted deck and large patio-an effortless extension of the living space that is equally suited for morning coffee or weekend gatherings. Beyond the deck, a large, level and open yard offers something rarely found intown: room enough for family, furry friends, and a game of catch in a space that genuinely feels like your own private park. The +/- 0.3-acre lot allows room for potential expansion, adding long-term value and appeal. The large shed with power is a versatile storage and workshop space with potential to transform into a dreamy studio, home office or playhouse. A covered carport and parking pad behind the gate allow for private off-street parking. Back inside, two bedrooms and a full updated bath round out the main level. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite impresses with a generous sitting area and a nook perfectly suited for a home office or study, along with its own private bath that has been completely updated and features a standing shower and double vanity. As a practical extra, the home has also been updated with an all-new HVAC system. Enjoy a prime East Lake address eligible for Drew Charter School and convenient access to Oakhurst Village without City of Decatur taxes, the restaurants at 2nd & Hosea, Kirkwood Village, MARTA, grocery stores, and quick connectivity to I-20 and I-285 to get around town with ease. This charming home on a coveted lot boasts the best of both worlds: move-in ready with endless potential.
