About this home

Located between Avondale Estates and City of Decatur, residents of Forrest Hills carry a ton of pride for their community. Flamingo Fridays are a favorite, encouraging neighbors to gather, mingle and enjoy summer evenings together; neighborhood coffees encourage community and conversation.

Step inside to discover original hardwood floors throughout and loads of natural light! The living room, dining room and renovated kitchen have distinct spaces, yet you easily flow from one room to the other. The main level also has a roomy primary bedroom, a secondary bedroom perfect for a home office, full bath and laundry/mudroom with access to the back deck and yard; two additional bedrooms and a full bath finish off the upstairs. The back yard has other surprises awaiting you! A two-level deck provides a great spot for grilling, enjoying morning coffee or sunset dinners. The outbuilding is connected to water and electricity; keep it as additional storage, or channel your creativity and transform it into a home office with a 40 step commute, she shed, pottery barn, etc. Discover the peace and quiet thought only to be found in the country, coupled with the conveniences you'd expect with Eastside, intown living--close to downtown Decatur, Emory, CDC, Marta and major highways.
