If you're ready for your next chapter and want to live less than 10 minutes away from downtown Decatur, this is your perfect storybook cottage! Complete with reading loft and backyard that makes you feel like you are in the countryside, you will instantly fall in love.   Open the front door and you'll be surprised to see the open layout in the living, dining, and kitchen. Get ready to take a nap in a sunbeam because so much sunshine fills the living room from the front picture window. With this open floor plan, never miss a conversation while making meals and entertaining family and friends. Kitchen features shaker style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a darling window where you can look into the backyard. Hardwood floors, brick accents, vaulted ceilings, and sunny interior spaces will make this one of your favorite places to be. Just down the main level hallway is a half bathroom and the doorway to your private primary suite featuring not one, but two closets and an updated bathroom with a huge walk-in shower with seamless glass doors, double vanity, and water closet. Step up the freshly painted green stairs and you’ll be delighted to find a loft / bonus space bookended by two generously sized secondary bedrooms. (Refer to the floor plans for room sizes!) The loft space overlooks the living room area below and is a perfect perch for a reading nook, home office, or play area. The upstairs bathroom includes a tub/shower and two separate vanities—perfect for kids or guests. Hall laundry room is also conveniently located upstairs. There is more to love outside, too. You’ll relax into the large, oversized lot that is fully fenced and ready for your backyard parties or fall gardening projects. Enjoy evenings under the stars while sitting around the firepit on cool nights. Convenient two-car garage provides off-street parking behind a gate at the end of the driveway. Garage can be used as bonus storage or simply imagine the possibilities if you want to convert the garage into an apartment or ADU for passive income. This home was renovated five years ago by a previous owner. The roof is 5 years old, windows have been replaced, and the bathrooms updated. New water heater, too. Low maintenance exterior with brick and granite materials. Terrific value for the space, updated features, huge lot, and location! All appliances stay! Make an offer now and attend the Decatur Book Festival in October! Location: Located just steps down the street from two parks including the wonderful BuenaVista Lake at Barker Bryant Memorial Park. City of Decatur is less than 10 minutes away. Just minutes away are Interstate I-20, Kirkwood, East Lake, and East Atlanta neighborhoods, East Lake Golf Club, East Lake YMCA, and Publix.
