Property Description
Situated a short stroll to downtown Decatur, this charming bungalow is more than meets the eye. With a full 4 bedroom, 2 bath home PLUS a self-contained 2 bed / 1 bath apartment, the possibilities are endless: multigenerational living, income generation, home office, or au pair suite. The main house opens into a living room with refinished hardwood floors and crown molding, flowing through an arched doorway into a dedicated dining room- a layout that feels both classic and livable. The kitchen has gas cooking, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry built for people who actually cook. Step out back and you're on a private deck canopied by mature hardwoods above Shoal Creek - the kind of outdoor space that becomes your favorite room by May. Two bedrooms and two full baths on the main level, including a pink vintage-tiled bath that's having its comeback moment. Upstairs, find two vaulted dormer bedrooms with tree-level views, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The lower level is a fully self-contained 2 bed / 1 bath walk-out apartment with a private entrance, windows on all four sides, gas kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a sweet beadboard bath - no interior connection to the main house, brand new HVAC in 2026. Fresh paint throughout - inside and out. Newer roof and HVAC on the main level. Flood insurance in place at $1,200/year. Generous off-street parking in rear, with plenty of room for a lawn if desired. Across the street, the Decatur Development Authority just announced 252 S. Columbia is being developed into workforce housing, further enhancing this thriving corridor. Winnona Park and Legacy Park (with running trails, new track, greenspace, and more) are within a short walk, as are all City of Decatur Schools. Avondale Estates' newly pedestrian-friendly downtown is right around the corner, and 2 MARTA stations put the rest of Atlanta within easy reach.
