Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and surrounded by mature trees, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath split-level home sits on nearly half an acre in the highly sought-after Lakeside High School cluster. Inside, the open floor plan feels fresh and welcoming, with newly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors, granite countertops, and brand new kitchen appliances—designed for both everyday living and easy entertaining. Recent upgrades include a new roof, windows, HVAC system, sewer and water lines, tankless water heater, garage door, and concrete driveway. Truly move-in ready. The finished lower level offers flexible space for a home office, media room, guest suite, or teen retreat. Outside, the fenced backyard is a peaceful escape, with mature trees, morning birdsong, and plenty of room to relax—all on a quiet street where kids can play safely. Enjoy a short walk to Twin Lakes Swim & Tennis, Briarlake Forest Park, Briarlake Elementary, and Lakeside High School. Just minutes from Oak Grove Village, Toco Hills, Mason Mill Park, and easy access to Emory, the CDC, CHOA, I-285, and I-85.
