2967 Mount Olive Drive, Decatur, GA 30033

When you make this graceful mid-century 3-bed, 2-bath brick house your home, you’ll be faced with choices: Dinner in the dining room, with its view of the landscaped front, or the sunroom, with its backyard vistas? Stage your party in the living room, with cocktails and a picture-window, or poolside on the back deck? Grab a quick breakfast at the kitchen bar in the den or in one of the myriad outdoor spaces? Head out to entertainment in nearby Decatur or downtown Atlanta? The utility of the space here comes from renovations that created an uber-useful open plan. Bold columns set off the dining room from living room and the living room from den. The kitchen has direct access to the dining and living spaces, den and back deck, making entertaining a breeze anywhere in the house. Floors throughout are hardwood, walls freshly painted in neutral white, and lights are updated. The kitchen is both efficient and luxurious, with loads of cabinets topped with stone counters, subway tile backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances (including a 6-burner range). The owner’s suite has a private bath, and the other bedrooms feature peekaboo windows for natural light and privacy. Plan on spending lots of evenings and weekends in the back yard, where the sprawling deck overlooks an inviting oval pool. There’s also a charming, detached storage shed. Easy walks to Druid Hills Middle School, Shamrock Forest, Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, and easy drives to downtown Decatur, Emory and I-285.
