This mid-century brick ranch embraces the easy rhythm of life—unfolding across a sun-filled layout, thoughtful additions, and an expansive backyard that’s just begging for garden parties, slow mornings, and starry nights around the firepit. With two driveways, tons of storage, and just minutes from downtown Decatur and Avondale, this home makes everyday living feel intentional, relaxed, and completely yours. Inside, original hardwood floors and timeless 1950s tile give a quiet nod to the past, while flexible living spaces create room to evolve. The open main living area connects to a granite-topped kitchen with a new backsplash and views that lead straight out to the breezeblock patio. Off the central hub, a warm paneled room offers space for work, reading, or whatever life calls for. But it’s the two added-on spaces that make this home truly special. A formal dining room—with gorgeous tile underfoot and double-wide custom sliding doors—opens wide to the breezeblock patio and rock garden firepit. Just beyond, a second addition gives you a spacious family room for lounging, movie nights, or laid-back gatherings. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a large walk-in closet, an additional storage closet, a pocket-door en suite bathroom, and direct access to the patio. A third bedroom with its own powder room adds even more function and flexibility. Downstairs, the finished basement is full of possibility—heated, cooled, and flooded with natural light. With its french doors opening to the expansive backyard, it’s perfect for a home studio, office, gym, or bonus living space. Outside, the large yard was designed for living: raised garden beds with established vegetables, a recycled tire play area, a chicken coop, storage shed, and a granite patio that’s perfectly situated for a future plunge pool or evening hangouts under the stars. Dotted with apple and cherry trees, along with berries, fig, olive and more, the backyard offers a beautiful blend of nourishment and nature. A second driveway leads directly to the backyard—offering extra parking, easy guest access, or a seamless spot for projects and play. This home lives with purpose, grows with you, and welcomes what’s next.
