Home Description

Go ask your agent if this is true: Do some sellers intentionally set a low price when they want to sell quickly? It doesn't happen often, but the answer here is "YES." Priced at $699,900 to bring instant attention, this unique home offers a rare opportunity to own a property in one of the most desirable Decatur locations where comparable lot values often approach this price point. This won't last long on the market. An old-world subtlety grounds the quiet, barely discernible eccentricities of 320 Greenwood Avenue. Located in the heart of the historic Oakhurst neighborhood in the City of Decatur (scarcely 100 yards from Agnes Scott and Oakhurst Village Square in either direction), this four-bedroom, three-bathroom early craftsman has experienced its upgrades over the years, for sure, and with no shortage of personality. But with every round of updates, each generation of owners somehow and miraculously decided that there was a soul to this place that would be a real shame to lose. It could be the color palette, with light, ashy pinks punctuating a thread of navy blues and turquoise: all the better to bounce the light off the hardwood flooring and up through the California arches and vaulted ceilings in the living and primary suite. Or, the enormous upper entertainment deck with lattice privacy and the covered veranda below leading to a functioning workshop. Or it could be the separate terrace level with three private entries. This fully finished apartment includes an oversized family room (perfect for movie nights), a custom-built bar and kitchenette, a "teen-ready" bed/bath suite, and a separate home office with private entry from the back. This flexible space is also ideal for a larger work-from-home studio space for those requiring lots of room to spread out during the workday; plenty of options exist to meet your unique dynamic. Or, it's the smaller things: the tilework in the galley-style kitchen and three full baths; that little ladder that leads up to a storage loft; sliding barn doors; the cherry blossom in the front yard; the pet-friendly backyard; the earthy smell of all this wood, and the way the sound and light bounces off the walls at dinner. 320 Greenwood is always grand but never overwhelming. It takes a bit of joy in the understatements. And this is Oakhurst, perennially topping the list of the metro's most livable, desirable neighborhoods. It's always quiet here, but Greenwood is utterly tranquil with its lack of thru traffic. Great for those who work locally or remotely. Families, in particular, will benefit from being zoned to the exceptional City of Decatur school district, with all three public schools—Elementary, Middle, and High—within walking distance. You will not find a more flexible design for your long-term use in Oakhurst. This home offers that rare blend of character and practicality typically found in much more expensive properties. So, if you're a ready-to-act buyer, call your agent today and submit your best offer because homes of this caliber, at this price, remain rare in this evolving market.
