This one is special! Thoughtfully renovated down to the studs, expanded and truly move-in ready, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home + detached office sits on a large, private lot in Decatur’s convenient Altaloma Park neighborhood. Nearly every inch of this home was transformed during the current seller's ownership, creating a space that feels clean and modern while still keeping the warmth and character this age home can only provide. The main level features beautifully refinished and matched hardwood floors throughout, a dining room, powder bath, a gorgeous custom kitchen, and a reimagined primary suite. The kitchen was completely renovated with sleek cabinetry, a large island, new countertops, floating shelves, a built-in refrigerator/freezer, and new appliances to create a minimalist look. In 2024, the home was expanded by approximately 400 square feet with the addition of a stunning second living/family room — easily one of the best spaces in the house. Oversized windows and skylights flood the room with natural light and frame the peaceful wooded setting beside Cobb’s Creek, giving the home a rare sense of privacy and connection to the outdoors. The fully finished walkout basement adds even more living space with two bedrooms, a full bath, an additional office (or option for a 4th bedroom/nursery), an additional living room/flex space, and direct access to the backyard. Outside, you’ll find a detached shed with a dedicated home office/flex space in the finished shed, a fully fenced backyard, fresh landscaping and raised garden beds, plus a completely replaced driveway. All the updates go well beyond what you can see: systems were updated as part of the renovation, the basement was professionally waterproofed with a lifetime warranty, the water line was replaced, Andersen windows were installed throughout, and DeKalb County completed a sewer infrastructure project connecting the property to a brand-new public sewer line, which is being completed throughout the entire neighborhood. All of this situated on a quiet, tucked-away large & flat lot with easy access to I-20 and I-285 and just minutes from Avondale Estates, Downtown Decatur, East Lake, Kirkwood and Oakhurst. Enjoy nearby breweries, restaurants, parks and local favorites, then come home to what feels like your own private retreat in the trees.
A total renovation, incredible natural light, flexible living space, a separate home office and a large private lot — this is the rare one that truly has it all.
