Timeless charm meets thoughtful updates in this well-built Craftsman-style 2 bed, 1 bath home. Bursting with natural light, the interior offers a cozy, homey feel with unique details that add warmth and character throughout. The home offers a welcoming living room and a spacious separate dining area that can be opened up for easy flow and entertaining, or closed off when you want a quieter, more intimate setting. Upstairs, the walk-up attic offers plenty of potential. It’s already spray foam insulated and pre-wired—just waiting to be finished into extra living space or 3rd bedroom. The current owner has lovingly cared for the home and made several important updates, including a fully expanded and renovated bathroom, attic insulation & wiring, basement weatherproofing with a sump pump, new gutters with gutter guards and downspouts, a new hot water heater, updated electrical and plumbing, custom shelving in primary closet, stainless steel kitchen appliances, and a conveniently located washer/dryer and more. Roof, windows and siding are 5 years old. Enjoy relaxing mornings or evenings on the spacious front porch perfect for coffee, a good book, or your favorite podcast. Just a short distance from the growing heart of downtown Austell, where you’ll find a local brewery, a lively community market and garden, neighborhood parks, and more to explore. It's in a quiet neighborhood with a friendly community, and the house itself is full of charm, character, and even more potential. This home is agent owned.
