Property Description
Solid brick ranch in the heart of North Druid Woods, offering comfort today and room to grow over time. Located just down the street from Laurel Ridge Elementary and Druid Hills Middle, this well cared for home reflects the craftsmanship and durability that define classic Decatur living. The current layout stays true to its original design, providing a functional and livable space as is, while giving future owners the flexibility to update or personalize at their own pace. The front yard comes alive each season with blooming hydrangeas and fragrant gardenias, creating charming curb appeal and a warm welcome home. In the backyard, you will find mature trees, privacy, and a gated dog run, thoughtfully designed for pet lovers or anyone who appreciates a defined outdoor space. The established setting and surrounding homes reflect pride of ownership throughout the neighborhood. North Druid Woods is known for its strong sense of community. Neighbors are conscientious and take great care of their properties, and residents can be as engaged and involved as they would like through local civic associations and neighborhood groups. With the exciting Lulah Hills redevelopment nearby bringing new retail, dining, green space, and community amenities, the area continues to evolve while maintaining its residential charm. Whether you are looking for a starter home or the opportunity to thoughtfully renovate in a sought after location, this property is ready for its next chapter. A true blank canvas with great bones, ready for your vision. **Some of the photos were virtually staged**.
