Room to breathe, a forest out front, and a gated community that actually feels like a neighborhood. This one has been genuinely cared for, with updated lighting, fresh paint, smart storage throughout, and a layout that makes sense from the moment you walk in. The main level flows the way you want it to: kitchen with quartz counters and upgraded cabinetry opens into the dining and living areas without feeling chopped up, with tree-lined forest views through the front windows. A custom built-in shelving wall anchors the living room with integrated conduit for TV and speakers, so everything stays clean and cordless. Storage is thoughtful throughout, with no shortage of places to put things. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat: vaulted ceilings, forest views, custom closets built out and ready to use, and a bathroom with something increasingly rare in this neighborhood, with an actual soaking tub. Most comparable units traded theirs for an oversized shower. Here you get both. The garage and mechanicals have been well cared for: HVAC serviced regularly, gutters freshly cleaned, and the unit maintained to a standard you can see the moment you walk in. Landscaping is included through the HOA, so the lock-and-leave lifestyle is genuinely effortless here. Outside your front door: gated and secure, resort-style pool and clubhouse, a top-rated daycare a short walk away, and some of the best restaurants in Atlanta just down the road on Buford Highway. Chamblee, Sandy Springs, and Buckhead are minutes away. And for travelers, the MARTA station is close enough to matter: $2.50, no traffic, no parking, straight to the airport in under 40 minutes.
