French doors lead from the dining room to the rear patio where you can relax or entertain while overlooking your wooded, private backyard. Two-car carport is accessed to the rear of the home. This lovely home is located on a quiet street next to a beautiful old-growth forest. Residents within Amberwood were instrumental in establishing the The Friends of Briarlake Forest Park to save the wooded greenspace, which is now a DeKalb County Park. The 21-acre Briarlake Forest Park is where you can enjoy a natural wooded setting to learn about wildlife and native plants, listen to birds, breathe in the fresh air and you may even see a deer. It is a rare urban forest that consists of an old home site (that dates back to 1850) and was originally part of a 100-acre land lot. The homes in the neighborhood were built in the early 1960s and are all custom homes with some designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. This is a great place to walk or run because of the park and beautiful neighborhood. There is a strong neighborhood association that makes this a great community in which to live. It is within five minutes of Twin Lakes Swim and Tennis Club. Minutes to Interstate 85 and Interstate 285 making any area of Metro Atlanta easily accessible. Within close proximity to Emory University and Hospital, Children's Heathcare of Atlanta, CDC, Northlake Mall, Decatur, Brookhaven, restaurants and shopping. Bring your creativity or enjoy the unique original features and make 2073 Castleway Lane in Amberwood your next home.
