The original plaster walls have been painstakingly refurbished, making this home a true historic gem. Don't miss the original built-in bookcases in the living room, original built-in cabinets and original seating area in the breakfast nook. One neat not to be missed fact a drawer in the breakfast nook built in retains the signature of its maker. The original hardware on the built-in bookcase and built in cabinet in the breakfast nook has been re-plated while preserving its past. The original doors, windows, trim, and moldings have been stripped before reinstallation and repainting. The original cast-iron clawfoot tub was refinished in 2024. Period-appropriate push button light switches with oil rubbed bronze switch cover plates and polished nickel switch cover plates have been installed throughout the home. Nestled in the Oakhurst neighborhood, a community in popular City of Decatur schools. This meticulously maintained and lovingly treasured home is not just a place to live but an opportunity to become a part of a thriving community.
