What's special

Rarely do you find a Craftsman home that offers this much charm, privacy, and freedom-all with no HOA. Nestled on a large, level lot with a private, fully fenced backyard and peaceful wooded views, this beautifully maintained home combines timeless architecture with modern comfort in one of the area's most convenient locations. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic Craftsman styling and dual covered front porches create unforgettable curb appeal, offering two inviting outdoor spaces to enjoy your morning coffee, visit with neighbors, or simply unwind. Set well back from the street, the home provides an added sense of privacy and welcomes you with warmth and character. Inside, rich hardwood floors and abundant natural light complement the open, thoughtfully designed floor plan. The spacious fireside family room flows effortlessly into the formal dining room, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a dedicated coffee bar, pantry, breakfast bar, and a sunny breakfast area overlooking the backyard. Step outside to the trellis-covered deck, where you'll enjoy peaceful views of the private, fully fenced, partially wooded backyard-a perfect setting for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing in your own outdoor retreat. The spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary, highlighted by French doors opening to a private balcony, two generous walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a whirlpool tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an upstairs laundry room complete the upper level. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including two new HVAC systems (2024), a newer dishwasher, a built-in EV charging station, and an extended driveway offering abundant parking. Location is everything, and this home delivers. Zoned for sought-after schools including The Museum School of Avondale Estates and DeKalb School of the Arts, with additional flexibility through the City of Decatur tuition program, you're just minutes from downtown Decatur, Your DeKalb Farmers Market, parks, golf, walking trails, community gardens, the YMCA, Emory University, the CDC, and downtown Atlanta. Best of all, there is no HOA-giving you the freedom to enjoy your property without restrictive covenants or monthly dues. Combining classic Craftsman architecture, exceptional outdoor living, a private fenced backyard, dual front porches, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, this is a home you'll be proud to call your own.
