About this home

Enjoy the best of Decatur living in this virtually new home, rebuilt from the foundation up in 2021 and ideally situated in the highly desirable Oakhurst neighborhood. Walk to local restaurants, the dog park, playgrounds, baseball fields, and the elementary school, all while enjoying the charm and convenience of this vibrant, walkable community. From the moment you arrive, the spacious front porch invites you to sit back and relax in a rocking chair. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a bright, open living space create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The beautifully appointed kitchen features high-end appliances, a large island, breakfast bar, and a separate dining area, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A separate family room just off the kitchen offers additional space to gather, while a convenient dry bar and an extra bonus room upstairs provide flexibility for entertaining, hobbies, or additional living space. The front bedroom makes an ideal home office. Retreat to the spacious primary suite, complete with two separate walk-in closets and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a double vanity and an spacious shower. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a large screened-in porch overlooking a walk-out backyard, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or entertaining friends and family. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with easy alley access and an electric vehicle charger. The home’s major systems, including the roof, are approximately five years old, and one of the two HVAC system is brand new! Combining the feel of new construction with the charm of an established neighborhood, this exceptional home offers modern comfort, flexible living spaces, and an unbeatable walkable Oakhurst location. Enjoy everything that makes Decatur living so special, right outside your front door!
