What a gem peacefully nestled in the heart of desirable Drew Valley! This custom-renovated bungalow is picture-perfect and move-in ready for its new owners. Step into the spacious living area with soaring ceilings, a well-designed layout, and tons of natural light. The open kitchen was thoughtfully renovated with tons of storage in extra-tall cabinetry, gleaming counters & backsplash, stainless appliances including a gas range and even a custom-designed bump-out to accommodate a deeper refrigerator. The primary retreat has also been uniquely updated with a vaulted ceiling rarely seen in a bungalow, plus a gorgeous bathroom complete with a spacious walk-in glass shower. The secondary beds and bath are centrally located around the laundry area, making day-to-day life here very convenient. The private rear deck enjoys the relaxing white noise of a babbling creek, and your furry friends will get all the exercise they need in the large, fenced backyard. You'll also be able to rest easily with behind-the-scenes upgrades like a fully encapsulated crawlspace and full-house dehumidifier for carefree ownership. All just a few quick minutes away from Brookhaven Village, MARTA and all the shopping, dining, and entertainment you could ask for. Welcome home!
