The age-old adage tells us the three most important things to consider when choosing your next home are "location, location, location." Honestly? That just lets the rest of the house off the hook. Don't get me wrong, this corner of East Lake is less than a block from Oakhurst, which means coffee, restaurants, a brewery, the Saturday morning farmers market, and so much more are all a 15-minute walk away. But the house itself delivers, too. Inside, the newly refinished hardwoods carry through a floor plan that works for the way you actually live, with a separate private office for the days you work from home, a dedicated dining room for the nights you host, and an eat-in kitchen for everything in between. Don't miss the pantry off the dining room or the hidden storage in the custom-built banquette seating. The primary suite is the quiet surprise of the house, larger than you would expect and anchored by an en-suite bath with a double vanity, a separate tiled shower, a deep soaking tub, and a walk-in closet with room to spare. Out back there's a large deck that's great for entertaining, and the yard is flat, fully fenced, and comes with a separate outbuilding waiting to become a studio, workshop, or future ADU. Life on Spence may surprise you with its friendly neighbors and rare walkability, where a blanket on the Solarium lawn for Jazz Nights, a run to Oakhurst Market, and a ten-minute stroll to McKoy Park's pool, ball fields, and rebuilt skate park all become routine, with East Lake Park just as close. And when life takes you beyond the neighborhood, downtown Decatur and the East Lake MARTA station are minutes away, Emory and the CDC are a quick drive, and I-20 puts the airport and the rest of Atlanta within easy reach. Eligible for Drew Charter School by lottery.
