Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 21, 2024
Gorgeous, spacious home in heart of Oakhurst! Do you like a front porch view of the annual Madison Ave Soap Box Derby? Do you like your neighbors coming together on Halloween for a perfect night of trick or treating? Do you like the best bands of PorchFest coming to your street each year? Then this is the house for you! If you don't like those things, then just be a curmudgeon with a beautiful bungalow and no friends. Doesn't matter to me! This updated 4 br/2.5 bath features a flowing floor plan with separate living, dining and entertainment space. The large updated kitchen overlooks sunny entertainment area and idyllic screened porch with adjustable shades. Host cookouts on the large attached deck as well. Green and landscaped backyard with detached shed that makes for a perfect art studio, work from home office, or workshop. Large walk-in basement space with room for a the man cave or she shed of your dreams. Walk to everything Oakhurst has to offer: City of Decatur schools, dog parks, playgrounds, shopping and dining. Also less than 10 min walk to Kirkwood Village, Bessie Branham Park, Hosea + Second, MARTA, and my friend Ali's house (always has beer.) Actually, come quick as I may move in myself. This one's a winner!

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been highly impressed with the quality of education that my son has received in his fifth grade class. Homework has been a little rigorous but that has paid off substantially in an increase in his skillset beyond what we could have expected. It is a safe and high achieving environment and I am quite pleased.Parent Review10y ago - Renfroe Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’ve been very pleased with the middle school so far. The structure with 4 teams (at least for 6th grade), is conducive to fostering friendships and relationships in a very large school. I love that the kids get daily foreign language classes, and the specials classes are engaging and stimulating. The school has a variety of clubs, and some sports teams that are accessible, although I’d like to see more (eg a JV and Varsity soccer team).Parent Review1y ago - Decatur High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis entire district is imploding on itself due to intense pressure from the community to enable students' self-destructive, out of control behavior. None of the parents want any structure for their kids, so the kids all just run wild. Bullying, fighting, drug use, sex, violence towards teachers, threats, and intimidation - it all gets rewarded by administration with chips or cookies and preferred activities like computer games and skipping class. Decatur schools are a swirling vortex of volatile hormonal madness. Admin are powerless to do anything, so they just sweep everything under the rug and pretend it's okay. Teachers and administrators who attempt to hold students to any expectations get attacked and persecuted. The few students in each class who want to learn get labeled and targeted by bullies. Bullies and their uneducated loud mouthed parents run the schools and the only education anyone is receiving is "how to use manipulation to get out of anything." We sold our house and moved to get out and I'm so glad we did.Parent Review1y ago - Oakhurst Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is good if your child is average terms of development and intelligence. If your kid is above neurodivergent in any way, this may not be the place. We're dealing with a highly intelligent child with a processing disorder and having no success in working with the school to make my child's experience a good one.Parent Review1y ago
