Tucked away on a private acre plus wooded lot, this beautiful traditional residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and convenience just minutes from the city. Surrounded by mature trees, the setting creates a peaceful escape while still keeping you close to Atlanta’s shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. Inside, natural light pours through a dramatic two story dining room highlighted by a striking wall of glass that frames tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. The open layout flows seamlessly into the living area, where a fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new stainless steel appliances and opens beautifully to the main living spaces, enhancing both functionality and flow. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home features three primary bedrooms, each with its own private en suite, offering an ideal setup for generational living, extended family, or long term guests while still allowing for comfort and privacy. A bedroom on the main level adds even more convenience. All bedrooms are generously sized with large walk in closets, and the spacious walk in laundry room includes a washer and dryer for added ease. A one year home warranty will also be transferred to the new owner, providing additional peace of mind. One of the most unique advantages of this property is its private well, allowing for only one affordable utility bill each month. Located just three minutes from the highway, the home offers quick access to Stone Mountain Park, Highway 78, Gwinnett County, and a variety of shopping and dining options. Residents also enjoy nearby swim and tennis amenities, with optional membership available at Smoke Rise Country Club. Situated within the sought after Smoke Rise and Summit Swim and Tennis community, this home provides convenient access to outdoor recreation and lifestyle amenities. Stone Mountain Park is just moments away, offering miles of scenic walking trails, fishing, boating, cycling, and year round activities. Golf enthusiasts will also appreciate proximity to Smoke Rise Golf and Country Club. Homes that offer this level of wooded privacy, flexible living space, and proximity to the city are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This exceptional property combines space, comfort, and lifestyle in one of the area’s most desirable settings. Seller is open to contributing toward buyer closing costs or an interest rate buy-down with a compelling offer, presenting a valuable opportunity for enhanced affordability and positioning for any buyer!
