There is a magical hidden community garden up the block with places to sit and watch the sunset or to have a quiet moment. It's a lovely walk to the downtown Decatur Square to great stores and great restaurants, festivals and music, art and literary events. Neighbors will be walking by with their dogs and children on bikes. Oakland Street is not highly trafficked and sits at the top of a dead end street. It is a lovely, eclectic community. The lot is large which creates a nice buffer around the property and the tree canopy makes it feel about 10 degrees cooler on especially hot Georgia days. Close to Emory and access to all attractions Atlanta has to offer. Walk to public transportation. The house overlooks hydrangeas, camellias, gardenias, and more. This property is very special to us. The family and original owners and neighbors were very happy to know our goal was, and is, to preserve the house and especially the tree canopy and natural habitat which makes it so special.
