Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from January 02, 2024
Looking for character, details, and space to spread out while nesting in the heart of Avondale Estates? This 1943 cottage oozes comfort and charm the moment you walk over the threshold. Lovingly cared for and ready for the next steward to enjoy all this light-filled 3/2 home offers. Two fireplaces (one decorative only), beautiful hardwoods throughout, and lots of windows to highlight the lush landscaping at every angle. Enjoy coffee in the enclosed front porch/sunroom; cozy up to read a book in the front keeping room; eat breakfast off the kitchen while watching a variety of birds. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level. Along with tons of storage and a full bath equipped with a double vanity upstairs, there is an expansive third bedroom/flex space featuring a wall of windows overlooking the incredibly deep backyard. So much to offer inside, and yet there's even more to love outside on the .7 acres of professionally landscaped grounds--this home has a backyard for entertaining! Inside the fenced backyard, you'll enjoy a newer 20'x20' deck and a quaint screened porch (aka party barn, dining barn, she shed, etc.). Complete with electricity and ceiling fans, this space can be used and treasured year-round. Above the roomy two-car garage is a recently constructed 1/1 apartment for an additional approx. 600sf of living space--a great asset for rental income, in-law suite or temporary living if you have visions of updating or remodeling the main dwelling. So much versatility and opportunity to take advantage of with this home! Living here means you're close to everything Avondale Estates is buzzing about--drive your golf cart to Avondale Lake or the Swim & Tennis Club; dine around Tudor Village (AE has a recently awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand award recipient); enjoy local breweries (Best Small Town Beer Scene three consecutive years) and other attractions in the Rail Arts District; see community concerts and fireworks at the Town Green (AE was recently awarded the Development of Excellence in the Public Realm award from the Urban Land Institute of Atlanta for promoting healthy, sustainable and equitable outcomes in the community); shop for specialty items at our locally-owned businesses. Close to Marta, DeKalb Farmers Market, City of Decatur, Emory, CDC and I-285. Please note: main house is approx. 2,686sf and apartment is appox. 600sf. There is connection to a well as an outside water source (great for the yard!).

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently graduated from DHHS. I saw a lot of teachers leave and new ones come through who were just okay. A lot of things go unseen at this school. There are kids doing drugs in the restroom making it hard for those of us who actually had to use it, causing long lines and other bathrooms to close making the lines even longer. This resulted in tardiness. In my time the class change time was switched from 10min to 5 min. I don’t know what they were trying to do but considering the hallways were small and lots of students. It was hard to be on time. I cannot recall a single thing about what I learned there. I found the teachers to be uncaring in regards of mental health. I do recall a few teachers who went above and beyond for all students. But they were not the majority. There were always fights. Sometimes multiple per day. A car once caught on fire in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, they need to expand where kids can park. I had to pay $12 a day to be able to drive to school. I had after school activities and my parents couldn’t pick me up so I had no choice than to drive. I payed almost $600 in parking tickets and towing fees because I parked at the school. On campus parking was reserved for dual enrollment students and teachers kids. Overall. This school isn’t great, please if you want your child to succeed but they need a little help from teachers to do so, this is not the place.Other Review5mo ago - Avondale Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNo transportation, no lunch provided, substandard education, no special education programs and/or services. All three of my children were unenrolled due to a complaint made about their fire alarms, fire extinguishers, etc not working, and all teachers having open flames in every classroom. #PowerUpParent Review3w ago - Druid Hills Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe had high hopes for DHMS based on other people’s experiences we had heard, but the focus at the school is all wrong. The teachers spend more time dress coding girls than teaching. And none of the teachers are on the same page as to what is acceptable. My child has been removed from class many times due to leggings that one teacher thought were unacceptable yet later told by another teacher that they are acceptable. There is little to no respect given to the students by most teachers. Middle school is tough and an awkward time and we must remember the students are children. They deserve to be treated with respect. There are teachers that really should be fired, but due to their tenure, I’m sure they are untouchable. Screaming at children and making them feel less than is unacceptable in my opinion! Bullying is full force. Teachers do not treat all children equally. Counselors were very little help to me when I reached out. Shocking how many fights my child sees in the halls. The vibe feels more like a juvenile detention center rather than a nurturing educational facility. I think the school could make a big difference if only their teachers weren’t treating students like criminals.Parent Review11mo ago - Check out schools near 3194 Kensington Rd.
