Perfectly positioned across the street from Welsh Park, this well-maintained split-level home offers a rare combination of location, space, and long-term value in a desirable DeKalb neighborhood. The home features generous living areas filled with natural light and a functional multi-level layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining.

Hardwood flooring in the bedrooms adds warmth and character, while efficient three-zone hot water heating paired with central air conditioning provides year-round comfort and flexibility.
