About this home

Rare original charm meets unbeatable location. Welcome home to Medlock Park! This beautifully maintained all-brick ranch sits on a sprawling, nearly half-acre corner lot in one of Decatur's most beloved communities and zoned for the highly coveted Fernbank Elementary School district. A rare detached two-car garage adds incredible versatility: think parking, a workshop, a home gym, or serious storage. Come and fall in love with timeless character you just can't find in new construction, beautiful hardwood floors, quality millwork wooden trim throughout, and sun-drenched rooms that feel warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Built in 1953 and lovingly cared for this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is a rare chance to own a piece of Medlock history with all its untouched and unspoiled craftsmanship intact. Downstairs, the full-height unfinished basement is a blank canvas offering abundant storage and easy mechanical access. Outside, the massive corner lot is a real portion of value, with plenty of room to entertain, garden, play, or even homestead if that's your thing! And the location? Unbeatable. With easy access to Medlock Park's pool, playgrounds, athletic fields, tennis courts, South Peachtree Creek walking trails, and the treasured 28-acre Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve with several trails and seasonal pond, plus minutes from Emory University, the CDC, Downtown Decatur, and major commuter routes. Even more exciting, the highly anticipated Lulah Hills redevelopment is transforming the former North DeKalb Mall into a vibrant new mixed-use hub with a Publix, L.L Bean’s first Georgia location, Anthropologie, Herman Miller, Refugee Coffee and many more restaurants like Firepit Pizza Tavern & Honeysuckle Gelato, with further parks, and trails, bringing even more energy to this already unbeatable location. Whether you're a first-time buyer, searching for your next chapter, or hunting for that rare original-condition home in a top school district, this is your opportunity. This is the perfect little house to call home!
