Did you say, "I'm waiting for perfect?" Wait. No. Longer. Timberwood Trace is exactly what you imagined an impeccably maintained Atlanta Craftsman Bungalow would be. And. It. Will. Be. Yours! No Seriously! It can be yours! Located inside majestic Preston Place, your new home is tucked away in a cul-de-sac and immediately evokes "shut the front door, is this really it?" You'll linger on the front porch envisioning yourself with family and friends enjoying hours of peacefulness and cocktails over the summer and fall months. But when inside, you'll immediately know "this is the one!" Hardwood floors throughout the main sets the stage. A large living room with gas fireplace and built-in book cases greet you. A bedroom/office/flex space is directly off the front living space. The open floor plan moves you from living and dining into a kitchen worth inviting your best chef friends over to cook. The remaining highlights of the lower level include another large bedroom + ensuite + walk-in closet. Upstairs is another "honey, you'll need to pinch me because this is too good to be true" moment. Hardwoods also run through the upstairs (minus the secondary bedroom). Your supersized primary bedroom has space to spare + a walk-in closet. The renovated spa bathroom has includes tiled shower, dual shower heads, double vanity and large soaking tub. A spacious secondary bedroom and generous laundry room rounds out the upstairs space. Did you say "I want a house but I don't want to spend all summer doing yard work?" You're in luck! Turf front + side yards, mini putting green, mature landscaping and no grass to cut! The back deck and yard is an entertainers DREAM space. Double decks, outdoor kitchen, brick paver fireplace (with gas starter), and large privacy fence allow you to enjoy your space until the cows come home! The cherry on top - a well managed and super laid back HOA @ only $200/year! Honestly - you have to see this one. It's one of a kind and worth a look. Accessible to downtown Decatur, 2nd & Hosea, East Lake, East Atlanta Village, Oakhurst, Kirkwood and so much more. I promise this will not disappoint.
