Welcome to this rare East Lake gem—a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 1938 cottage just steps from the world-renowned East Lake Golf Club, home of the PGA Tour Championship, with proximity to Hole 6. Ideally located near Oakhurst Village, 2nd & Hosea, Downtown Decatur, and Avondale Estates, this home offers easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and playgrounds—all in one of Atlanta’s most sought-after communities. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends timeless character with modern enhancements and sits on a spacious, professionally landscaped corner lot, offering room for future expansion such as a pool, ADU, or play space on its flat, deep backyard. Inside, the functional layout is filled with natural light, featuring original hardwood floors, fresh paint, updated lighting and fans, newer windows, and all-new cordless blinds. The fireside living room flows into a bright garden room with French doors and an adjoining enclosed sunroom—ideal for year-round relaxation, reading, or creative space. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a new range, generous cabinetry, and ample prep space. A separate dining room and a cozy breakfast nook provide multiple options for everyday living and entertaining. Bedrooms are well-sized, with spacious closets suitable for guests, office setups, or creative uses. The private primary suite, tucked away at the rear of the home, includes a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom featuring elevated ceilings, a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Additional highlights include updated plumbing and electrical systems, a French drain, a walk-up attic with shelving for extra storage, a partially finished basement perfect for a workshop or flex space, and a thoughtfully designed powder room on the main level. The flat, deep backyard features a stone patio—ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, lounging, or simply enjoying the lush surroundings. A horseshoe driveway provides ample parking. Convenient to both East Lake and Decatur MARTA stations, I-20, I-285, Emory University, the CDC, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
