About this home

Tremendous new construction home with a fully finished, walk-out basement on an oversized lot in a fantastic Kirkwood location! Hard to find this combination of space, finishes, lot size, and location. Just blocks from both Kirkwood Village, Oakhurst Village, 2nd and Hosea Williams business district, and of course, hip DeKalb Avenue destinations, this sun-drenched 5br/4.5ba home offers a striking floor plan and spectacular finishes. The kitchen features impressive thin-shaker cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, scullery-esque, walk-in pantry with built-in cabinetry, expansive island, upgraded appliance package including 36” gas range, and plenty of drawers for easy storage. From the kitchen, overlook a beautifully appointed family room with stylish, quartz-surround gas fireplace & built-in cabinets, plus a sunny, open dining area. The covered back porch with outdoor fireplace overlooks the large private back yard. There's a true office/study/reading room complete with built-in, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and an impressive, designer half bath on the main level. Designer plumbing and lighting fixtures, statement-making trim details, custom tile, and naturally stained hardwood floors throughout -- this is not your typical builder-grade home. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite features a vaulted ceiling, distinctive accent wall, exceptional bath and an impressive walk-in closet. Upstairs also features three secondary bedrooms and two additional full baths (one ensuite) with custom finishes. All closets have built-in shelving. The basement offers amazing living spaces and walks out to a back porch and the backyard! The basement has another den/family room, a kitchenette, a bedroom with a full bathroom, storage and an oversized flex-room waiting for your personal touch. The two-car garage has a 220V outlet to charge your electric car. Home is equipped with a tankless water heater and spray-foam insulation. BACKYARD PRIVACY FENCE IS COMING SOON!
