A TRULY STUNNING RENOVATION - WHERE CHARACTER MEETS CONVENIENCE AND CHARM Welcome to this breathtaking all-brick ranch-style sanctuary-a rare gem that blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Tucked away in peaceful seclusion yet just moments from the heart of everything, this home is a dream come true for homeowners and investors alike. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, it presents an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully renovated property in one of the most sought-after areas around. Located mere minutes from I-285, downtown Decatur, Avondale Estates, Emory University & Hospital, the Atlanta VA Medical Center, and the CDC, this prime location is unmatched in convenience and appeal-perfect for guests, tenants, or your own forever home. Set on a lush, landscaped .40-acre lot, the home welcomes you with a graceful balance of manicured flat yard and serene wooded backdrop. The pride of ownership is undeniable from the moment you arrive. Step inside and feel instantly at home. Sunlight floods every room through generous windows, casting a golden glow across the gleaming hardwood floors. The formal living room, anchored by a marble-surround fireplace, invites cozy evenings and heartfelt conversations. Host memorable dinners in the formal dining room, adorned with original built-in period cabinetry that whispers stories of the past. Then, retreat to the show-stopping family room- an architectural masterpiece with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed cedar beams, and custom-built-ins. This grand yet cozy space flows effortlessly into the heart of the home: a pristine white kitchen featuring marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a central island with breakfast bar, and a sunlit dining nook offering panoramic views of your private backyard haven. The primary suite is pure serenity - elegant, spacious, and thoughtfully updated with a luxurious ensuite bath and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms echo the same attention to comfort and style. Outside, multiple inviting spaces await: a screened front porch for morning coffee, a sunroom and screened rear porch for peaceful afternoons, and a rear patio with fire pit perfect for evenings under the stars. Even the detached one-car garage is filled with character, topped by an enchanting cupola, while the long paved driveway easily accommodates up to five vehicles. All of this, nestled just steps from charming shops, local restaurants, and scenic parks, yet with no city taxes. This is more than a home. It's a retreat. A legacy. An extraordinary opportunity that rarely comes along. Don't miss your chance to fall in love- schedule your private tour today.
