Updated Brick Ranch on 0.30-Acre Lot — Near Emory & Decatur
This charming brick ranch in Medlock Park offers a rare combination: a thoughtfully updated interior and an unusually deep, private yard just minutes from Emory University and Decatur Square. The single-level floorplan flows from a living room with hardwood floors into a recently refreshed kitchen outfitted with new stainless-steel appliances and clean, contemporary finishes. Three bedrooms are comfortable in scale; the single full bath has been cared for and the whole interior has been freshly painted for a turnkey move-in.
A versatile enclosed bonus room at the rear of the house looks over the backyard and works equally well as a home office, playroom, or exercise room. Outside, the lot’s generous footprint (approx. 0.30 acres / 13,068 SF) provides room for gardening, a play area, outdoor entertaining, or a future addition or garage (subject to permitting). Mature trees and established landscaping create a private, suburban feel while keeping you close to city conveniences.
Location is a major asset: quick access to Emory, the CDC and VA Hospital plus a short drive to Decatur’s Square for dining, farmers markets and weekend events. Commuters will appreciate proximity to I-85/I-285 corridors without sacrificing neighborhood quiet. This property is attractive to buyers seeking single-level living with upside — add a second bath, finish a modest addition, or enhance outdoor spaces to capture market value.
The home is listed at $435,000 and presents an approachable entry into one of Decatur’s most respected neighborhoods. Showings by appointment — contact the listing agent for details and to obtain current disclosures, a floor plan, and verification of square footage.

A factual market snapshot around 1068 Willivee Dr.
Medlock Park and nearby Emory-adjacent neighborhoods have remained in-demand over the past several years, driven by stable employment from Emory and the CDC plus strong school reputation. Inventory in Decatur’s core tends to be below metropolitan levels, supporting relatively quick sales and modest appreciation. For buyers, single-level brick homes on larger lots are particularly competitive: they combine functional living with future expansion potential. Sellers benefit from a steady pool of buyers (professionals, downsizers, and families). Expect average days on market shorter than broader Atlanta-area averages and price resiliency for well-presented homes. This property — updated, on a large lot, and well-situated — should perform well if marketed to nearest-source buyers (Emory/CDC) and neighborhood-focused families.
Typical single-family residential zoning in Medlock Park; likely permits single-family detached homes and accessory structures subject to local setbacks.
