Welcome to this beautiful gem, light-filled corner-lot retreat in the heart of beloved Forrest Hills. Thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home immediately welcomes you with its warm hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The main living area flows with ease into the dining room and refreshed kitchen, creating a bright, inviting space perfect for everyday living or gathering with loved ones. A cozy bonus room and convenient laundry area add to the home’s flexibility, offering room to work, play, or unwind. Tucked toward the back of the property, the private primary suite feels like its own hidden sanctuary. With a separate outdoor entrance and a secluded patio, it’s an ideal escape — or an opportunity for rental income. The spacious yard surrounding the home brings endless possibilities: gardening, outdoor dining, bird watching or simply relaxing beneath the trees as the seasons change. Beyond the home itself, the true charm lies in the community. Forrest Hills is known for its welcoming neighbors, easy connection, and classic Decatur warmth. And with the Museum School just a short stroll away, the location is hard to beat. This is a place where life feels a little simpler, a little friendlier — a home ready to be cherished.
