Walk to breweries, bike or even walk to Downtown Decatur, and stay for the front porch hangs. Welcome to 725 Brown Place, a well-kept 2 bed, 2 bath brick ranch nestled just a few blocks between Avondale Estates and the City of Decatur. You get all the perks of living in this vibrant, connected community without the City taxes. It's a short walk to the Avondale Town Green, Banjo Coffee, Wild Heaven, Little Cottage Brewery, and more. Inside, enjoy an oversized updated kitchen with a high-end oven that includes convection, air fryer, and indoor grill settings. A separate upstairs HVAC system uses a new energy-efficient cycled-water unit. The layout offers flexibility with over 1,500 square feet, a mudroom with built-ins, and a doggie door to the backyard. Outside, relax or entertain on the shaded deck, brick patio, or private courtyard. A large shed, attic storage, and covered carport with a brick driveway provide rare extra space. Native landscaping was designed for low maintenance. The neighborhood features porch parties, BBQs, and live music. The award-winning Museum School, a public charter, is just a five-minute walk away. City of Decatur school options are also available through paid tuition.
