511 2nd Ave., Decatur, GA 30030

In the Oakhurst pocket of the City of Decatur lives and breathes a true 1920’s brick bungalow. The beautiful home includes a period-perfect & inviting, covered front sitting porch, incredible 1920‘s high ceilings and gorgeous, original & refinished hardwood floors. She was born before all of us and built to last and be home to many generations of people, pets, and memories. You will enter into the ballroom sized family room, with a gorgeous brick fireplace and delight in the natural light; jump up and try to touch these ceilings and land gracefully on these gorgeous wood floors. In succession, on the left side of the home is the family room, which enters into the formidable dining room which enters into the kitchen. The dining room, which was used for most everything except formal dining, can also seat 12+ of your favorite people if you are prone to dinner parties! The kitchen, which is move-in ready, but also ready for your personal touch, fits two cooks and has ample storage, cabinets and counter space for whipping up yumminess. On the right side of both the dining and family rooms is access to the hallway that takes you to two spacious secondary bedrooms, with great closet space, the hallway bathroom and the primary ensuite. The primary has a tub/shower combo and side by side closets. One of the closets opens up to stairs to the unfinished attic, which the previous owners used as the largest walk-in closet we have ever seen! This same hallway also leads to the door to the full, unfinished basement. Perfect for storage, or for finishing, the basement has both interior and exterior access. The fully fenced backyard is accessible through a little sunroom off the kitchen, and from the basement, and encloses a huge garage, with electric/auto gate opener with access from Oakview Road. Parking includes this garage and also a parking pad on 2nd Ave. The finished living space is currently just under 1950 square feet. If you are hankering for more space for you and your people and pets, the attic and/or the basement would be an easy expansion, and you could stay within the footprint (which saves a lot of money)! All of this finery, and opportunity, is walking distance to schools, restaurants and parks. It is a piece of Decatur’s architectural history, with modern flow and meets today’s desire for walk and bike-ability.
