Property Description
Tucked along one of the most coveted streets in sought-after Glennwood Estates, this classic brick ranch blends timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and incredible future potential in the heart of the City of Decatur. Set on a rare ~0.40 acre lot, this one-level home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including an oversized primary suite retreat. Inside you’ll find hardwood floors throughout and a beautifully flowing layout with multiple light-filled living spaces. The separate dining room adds a touch of tradition while the bright, eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home featuring a center island, double ovens, and generous workspace. Enjoy seamless access from the kitchen to both a private side courtyard and the expansive rear deck. Step outside to a truly special backyard, fully fenced, beautifully landscaped, and designed for year-round enjoyment. Thoughtfully curated with native plantings and seasonal blooms, from camellias and cherry blossoms to hydrangeas, roses, and berries, a peaceful and ever-changing backdrop! The firepit area invites gathering, while the expansive yard offers space to play, garden or expand. A rare bonus is the detached, rear studio with an additional +200 sq ft of finished space! Updated with new flooring and electrical, currently used as a home gym but easily adaptable as a private office, creative space, man (or lady) cave or teen hangout - make it your own! Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a newer HVAC system, updated electrical and lighting, newly painted exterior, and more. The home also offers a massive walk-up attic, ready for storage now or the opportunity to expand and significantly increase future value. Surrounded by homes well into the $1M–$2M+ range, this property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy move-in ready living today while investing in long-term upside in one of Decatur’s most desirable neighborhoods. All within the highly sought-after City of Decatur school system, this location offers easy access to Decatur Square, MARTA, parks, and PATH trails, along with some of the area’s best dining and shopping. Just minutes from Emory University, CDC, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Agnes Scott College, this is where small-town charm meets big-city access, offering the very best of Decatur living with easy connectivity to the greater Atlanta area. Another perk is the pedestrian entrance to Glenlake Park at the end of the street, providing easy access to the community pool, playground, dog park, tennis courts, walking trails, and downtown Decatur. Welcome Home!
