1545 Deerwood Drive – The Best Street in Midway Woods Ask anyone who knows Midway Woods, and they’ll tell you: Deerwood Drive is the crown jewel. Wide, tree-lined, neighborly, and bordered by some of the best homes in the area – yet it still has room to rise. This is your chance to get in before that happens. This home has been gutted (non-structurally) and is ready for a fresh start. The owner is offering it for $375,000 and, with the right offer, may consider owner financing – possibly even for both the purchase and the renovation. That kind of flexibility is almost unheard of in today’s market, and it opens the door for builders or homeowners who see potential where others might just see drywall dust. And make no mistake: the potential here is real. Deerwood Drive already has six homes valued over $1,000,000, with four sales in the past year around $1.1 million and another recent one at $900,000. The comps tell the story – this is where Midway Woods is heading. Midway Woods itself is one of Decatur’s best-kept secrets. It’s literally across Midway Road from the City of Decatur – close enough to enjoy all the restaurants, festivals, and charm without the sky-high tax bill. You’re minutes from Downtown Decatur, Avondale Estates, Oakhurst, and the 2nd & Hosea district, each offering its own local flavor of shops, cafes, and neighborhood favorites. And let’s talk about Dearborn Park – the neighborhood’s hidden treasure. It’s a sprawling 7-acre natural park with trails, creeks, and picnic areas, lovingly maintained by the Friends of Dearborn Park, a volunteer group of neighbors who have transformed it into one of Decatur’s most beloved outdoor spaces. It’s the kind of place where you’ll see families, runners, and dogs every day, and where everyone waves hello. So whether you’re a builder looking for your next project, or a buyer who dreams of customizing your own home in a neighborhood with long-term upside, 1545 Deerwood is worth a serious look. Opportunities like this on Deerwood Drive don’t come up often – and when they do, they don’t last. Agents: bring your builders or your dreamers. Agent/owner.
