Surrounded by nature yet just minutes from Emory, Downtown Decatur, and major Atlanta destinations, this home delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, dramatic architectural details, and walls of glass create bright, inviting living spaces filled with natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen features sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer tile accents, and an open layout ideal for entertaining. Multiple living and gathering spaces provide flexibility for today's lifestyle, while the renovated bathrooms offer a fresh, modern feel.
