216 Heatherdown Road

A 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath single family residence in Decatur.

Tucked into one of Decatur's most beloved pockets, this painted brick cottage is the kind of home that makes Winnona Park, Winnona Park. A welcoming front yard and turquoise door greet you, surrounded by mature trees, in a neighborhood where everyone walks everywhere — sidewalks or not. Inside, the home is bright and open from the moment you step in. The main floor flows naturally from a living room anchored by a cozy fireplace, into a dining room framed by a generous bay window, into a classic kitchen with subway tile, quartz counters, and a true pantry. A laundry room sits just off the kitchen. Hardwoods throughout — no carpet anywhere. The open floor plan and a separate sunroom let natural light reach every corner of the house.
The main level has a bedroom and a pass-through flex room that easily works as a fourth bedroom or home office, plus a full bath and a half bath for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite is genuinely spacious, with its own en suite bath, joined by a third bedroom.
The screened porch with its own fireplace might be the best part, extending the living space into four full seasons. Beyond it: a deep, shaded backyard with a slide built right into the hillside (a kid-and-grandkid dream), a large detached shed for storage or a workshop or a future studio, and room for a garden, a swing set, and a quiet morning coffee. The crawlspace is fully waterproofed — this house has been cared for.
The location is the rest of the magic. Steps from Winnona Park Elementary (one of the most loved schools in CSD) and Winnona Park itself. Walkable to Legacy Park, the PATH, Oakhurst, Avondale Estates, downtown Decatur's restaurants and shops, and MARTA. This is the kind of neighborhood where, when people want a different house, they'd rather just move down the street than leave the WiFi district.
