Welcome to 1096 Walker Drive, a lovingly maintained brick bungalow nestled in the highly sought-after and established Decatur neighborhood, Forrest Hills! Step inside to discover fresh paint throughout and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. Both functional and inviting, the living room features charming built-in bookshelves and a new Renewal by Andersen picture window that fills the space with natural light. A standout bonus: the window includes an invisible screen, making it easy to enjoy fresh air on breezy days. Upstairs, you’ll find a half bath and two versatile flex spaces—ideal for a home office, kids’ room, guest space, or whatever hobbies may find you in 2026! Back on the main-level, you will find a tastefully updated full bathroom with a custom farmhouse vanity, and two bedrooms. The kitchen offers updated fixtures, and stainless steel appliances, creating a practical and efficient workspace. French doors in the adjacent dining room open to a large back deck and generous, professionally landscaped backyard, which includes a newly installed storage shed, as well as a wonderful and versatile level area near the rear of the yard. The deck can be enjoyed as is, or the large backyard offers excellent potential for a future expansion. Aside from the home’s amenities, the neighborhood of Forrest Hills is very special. There is a warmth and friendliness one doesn’t find every day. Kids play in the street, neighbors forge friendships, offer help, or a laugh if it’s needed. There are also two community nature parks, with creek access in Forrest Hills. All this, a short distance from the award-winning The Museum School, Avondale Estates, Downtown Decatur, Legacy Park, and Oakhurst. This is truly a special home!
