Property Description
Welcome to 1170 Walker Drive, a thoughtfully updated 1951 home nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Forrest Hills neighborhood in Decatur. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends timeless charm with modern updates, featuring beautiful hardwood floors on the main level and matching LVP upstairs for a cohesive feel throughout. The main living area flows naturally into a dedicated dining room complete with stunning built-ins, offering both character and functionality, while the updated kitchen showcases custom finishes and stainless steel appliances alongside renovated bathrooms that elevate everyday living. Just off the dining room, step into a screened-in porch that seamlessly connects to a brand-new deck-creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxing. The layout offers two bedrooms and one bath on the main level, with an additional bedroom and full bath upstairs, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements.
