Just a few steps from your front porch lies direct access to the Stone Mountain PATH Trail, part of Georgia's 327+ mile PATH network. Head one direction to Stone Mountain or the other to connect with the Decatur PATH and Atlanta BeltLine. You're also a short walk to the heart of Avondale Estates, where you'll enjoy restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, local shops, and the picturesque Town Green Park.
