Built in 1956 and solid four-sided brick, this Decatur ranch has the quality of its era with the updates you want today. Refinished white oak floors run throughout, the kitchen pairs newer cabinetry with stainless appliances, and the major systems have already been handled: all original windows replaced with double-hung vinyl (2024), new front and patio doors (2025), a new 50-gallon water heater (2024), a new dishwasher and disposal (2025), and a roof replaced in 2016 (30-year roof) with repairs completed in 2026. Move-in ready in the truest sense - nothing left on the list. The layout offers a primary bedroom with a half bath, plus two additional bedrooms sharing a full bath. A full unfinished basement delivers the kind of storage that keeps the living space uncluttered (outdoor access only - can easily be converted to a usable space). Light is the quiet luxury here: the back of the home faces east, so morning sun filters through the trees and pours in through the large picture window, and evening light comes through the kitchen and front windows. Out back, a generous private patio overlooks an expansive, beautifully landscaped yard - mature, layered, and lovely in every season, with brilliant fall foliage and an abundance of birds and wildlife spring through fall. An existing empty pond sits ready for the right owner to bring it back to life. All of this on a quiet residential street minutes from Mason Mill Park's trails, the restaurants of Emory Village and LaVista Road, and everyday essentials (Publix, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Home Depot, etc.), with easy access to I-285 and 85/400 for a straight shot to downtown Decatur, Buckhead, Atlanta proper, and the airport.

Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by fresh interior paint, updated light fixtures, and recessed lighting in the kitchen and living areas. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, ceramic tile flooring and backsplash, plus additional cabinetry thoughtfully added to provide extra pantry and storage space. Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated with ceramic and marble tile extending throughout the tub and shower areas. The primary suite is privately positioned at the rear of the home, creating a peaceful retreat separated from the other bedrooms. The primary bath features a seamless glass shower enclosure, while the front bedroom includes its own ensuite half bath-an ideal setup for a home office, guest room, or flexible living space. Step outside and the home continues to shine. Two separate doors provide direct access to the back deck-one from the kitchen and another from the primary suite-making outdoor entertaining and everyday living effortless. The backyard is flat, fully fenced, and professionally landscaped, with a fire pit creating the perfect setting for evenings with friends and family. A large storage shed provides plenty of room for tools, equipment, hobbies, and everything else you don't want taking up space inside. Major updates and improvements have already been taken care of, including a 2023 HVAC replacement, approximately 10-year-old roof, new driveway leading to the carport, new backyard fencing, replacement double-pane wood-frame windows, fresh exterior touch-ups, and extensive professional landscaping. Mature trees have also been professionally cut back from the home and fence line, helping create a cleaner, more manageable property. One of the home's most unique advantages is its position at the top of the neighborhood. The elevated setting allows water to naturally flow away from the home, while the backyard levels out around the house-giving you the elevated views and curb appeal of a sloped lot without sacrificing a functional, flat backyard. And then there's the location. Enjoy quick access to East Lake, Kirkwood, East Atlanta, Charlie Yates Golf Course, Downtown Decatur, and I-20, making Midtown and the heart of Atlanta easily accessible.
