Property details
About 490 E Pharr Rd
Welcome to your next home in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Decatur. With great schools at all levels and close proximity to both Decatur and Atlanta hot spots like Oakhurst and Kirkwood, you get all the amenities you want, on a quiet street. Our price gives you plenty of wiggle room to make updates that will craft this home to your own personal tastes. The four-sided brick, Mid-century ranch sits amidst a beautifully landscaped front lawn, with granite and stone walkways, snaking around each side of the house, and leading to the back deck, the back yard, or up to the roomy front porch. Add a swing or a few rocking chairs, it's the perfect place to chat with your neighbors during the afternoon dog/kid walking brigade. The front door opens to a sun filled den with gleaming hardwood floors, which leads into the bright and airy breakfast nook, breakfast bar, and kitchen with newly painted and playful vintage cabinets. NEW refrigerator and stove are being installed 5/23. From there, your French doors open to a beautiful wooden deck overlooking an expansive backyard that backs into Dearborn Park. Talk about privacy! The park is a picturesque destination that features seven acres of green space with a boardwalk and gravel trail, basketball court, picnic pavilions, a playground, running streams, and a tranquil pond stocked with fish. A weekend full of activities, in your backyard. A third door into the side of the kitchen makes bringing shopping goodies, right to the refrigerator and gleaming granite counters, a breeze. Wander further into the home, on blonde hardwood floors throughout, you'll find the three sun-filled bedrooms. The two guest rooms share a full bathroom which is updated with modern amenities, while keeping vintage touches like original tile and bathtub. At the end of the hall is the sunlit primary bedroom with attached half bath, which could easily be expanded to include a shower, and our newest price reflects that concession. (please ask for our contractor's estimate) The interior stairs in the middle of the hall take you to the attached garage and the finished basement. Through the garage, you'll walk into so much more livable space: a large, finished basement with a full bath, and adjacent finished office/workroom. Make the basement a playroom, home yoga studio, family entertainment room, or fourth bedroom for guests; with a full bath and separate exterior entrance, family and guests will have plenty of room to live, work, and play. Outside and inside, this is a home that will have something for everyone. Make it yours today!
