Property Description
Discover your sanctuary in this thoughtfully updated 2BR/1BA + bonus loft bungalow, where cozy charm meets modern convenience in the heart of vibrant Forrest Hills. Positioned just minutes from downtown Decatur and Avondale Estates, this gem offers the best of both worlds—urban accessibility with peaceful neighborhood tranquility. Step into an inviting open floor plan where warm hardwood floors flow throughout, connecting spaces designed for both gathering and retreat. The heart of the home features a family room anchored by a decorative fireplace and dramatic spiral staircase leading to your versatile loft space—perfect as a third bedroom, home office, or creative studio. The sun-drenched kitchen, surrounded by windows, seamlessly connects to the dining area, while a dedicated office nook and built-in storage throughout maximize both function and style. The updated bathroom showcases beautiful tile work and ample storage, while one bedroom boasts exceptional built-in storage solutions.
The real showstopper? A backyard that dreams are made of. Unwind on your private screened side porch tucked behind towering azaleas, or entertain on the stunning slate terrace that flows into a second brick patio shaded by a pergola draped with a magnificent 30+ year-old wisteria vine. The expansive fenced yard features productive blueberry and blackberry bushes, and mature landscaping. Plus, claim your own roadside heart-shaped garden bed for vegetables or flowers—your green thumb's canvas awaits.
