Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with upgraded tile and vanities, and the refinished hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout. Fresh interior paint gives the entire home a clean, modern feel. Step outside and discover a generously sized backyard designed for entertaining, with multiple zones perfect for gatherings or a cozy evening around the fire pit. New gravel driveway and additional parking/turnaround space make everyday living easy, while charming landscaping and gravel walkways maintain the home’s classic mid-century aesthetic. And when it comes to location, this home checks every box: enjoy unincorporated Dekalb County taxes while still being minutes from all the action.
