Property Description

Welcome to a truly rare opportunity in the vibrant Oakhurst neighborhood of Decatur —where timeless character meets modern flexibility. The standout feature of this unique property is the separate, income-producing cottage, currently tenant-occupied and generating $1,550/month. Fully renovated and individually metered for electric, and gas, this accessory dwelling offers a full kitchen, washer/dryer, living area, bedroom, and full bath with a private back deck. An ideal setup for investors or buyers seeking supplemental income, guest accommodations, or a private workspace. The main home, a classic 1915 bungalow in which the Seller is the 3rd owner, is rich with vintage charm and authentic details that are increasingly hard to find. Inside, you’ll discover 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 5 fireplaces – three decorative and two wood-burning – along with beautifully preserved mantels and updated tile surrounds. Elements such as real wood floors, plaster walls, and huge 5’ x 4’ front windows with original 1900’s glass panes complete the charm. The covered and deep front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. A thoughtfully-designed upstairs addition completed in 2015 adds both space and versatility, featuring two bedrooms, an oversized, double-sink bathroom with marble countertop, an additional cozy sitting area ideal for a home office or reading nook, and a second laundry room. Adding to the home’s charm, the staircase showcases reclaimed materials—including the railing, spindles, and newel post—from an 1880s row house in Gettysburg, PA, giving this home a one-of-a-kind historical touch. Major systems have been well maintained, including a tankless water heater (2025) and HVAC (2019). The sellers completed a pre-listing inspection in March 2026, including sewer scope, radon, and mold testing—all with excellent results—providing added confidence in the home’s solid condition. Outside, an attached workshop/storage shed borders the private backyard patio and a detached carport provides two parking spaces pre-wired with two electric vehicle charging ports. An additional small shed in the back of the property provides extra storage for bikes or lawn equipment. And then there’s the location—simply unbeatable. Just blocks from Oakhurst Elementary, Beacon Hill Middle, and Decatur High, and a short stroll to MARTA and the shops, restaurants, and vibrant energy of Decatur Square. Also nearby is the PATH Foundation pedestrian and cycle route, providing easy access to surrounding neighborhoods. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on the porch, walking to dinner, or collecting rental income from the cottage, this property delivers a lifestyle that’s as dynamic as it is charming.
