Built in 1956 and solid four-sided brick, this Decatur ranch has the quality of its era with the updates you want today. Refinished white oak floors run throughout, the kitchen pairs newer cabinetry with stainless appliances, and the major systems have already been handled: all original windows replaced with double-hung vinyl (2024), new front and patio doors (2025), a new 50-gallon water heater (2024), a new dishwasher and disposal (2025), and a roof replaced in 2016 (30-year roof) with repairs completed in 2026. Move-in ready in the truest sense — nothing left on the list. The layout offers a primary bedroom with a half bath, plus two additional bedrooms sharing a full bath. A full unfinished basement delivers the kind of storage that keeps the living space uncluttered (outdoor access only - can easily be converted to a usable space). Light is the quiet luxury here: the back of the home faces east, so morning sun filters through the trees and pours in through the large picture window, and evening light comes through the kitchen and front windows. Out back, a generous private patio overlooks an expansive, beautifully landscaped yard — mature, layered, and lovely in every season, with brilliant fall foliage and an abundance of birds and wildlife spring through fall. An existing empty pond sits ready for the right owner to bring it back to life. All of this on a quiet residential street minutes from Mason Mill Park's trails, the restaurants of Emory Village and LaVista Road, and everyday essentials (Publix, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Home Depot, etc.), with easy access to I-285 and 85/400 for a straight shot to downtown Decatur, Buckhead, Atlanta proper, and the airport.
