981 N Millard WAY Stone Mountain, GA 30088

Nestled away in an easy-going cul-de-sac less than 10 minutes from the Perimeter (and only a hop and a skip from this city’s namesake geological monument), 981 N. Millard Way easily settles in that sweet spot between “impeccably organized” and “manageably, more space than you’ll know what to do with.” 

A head-to-toe overhaul has done wonders for this 4 bed/2.5 bath late century family style. (Aesthetics aside, the roof, HVAC, appliances, etc. — all brand new). Starting with the main floor, cool-but-bright tones are anchored by deep chocolate wood plank floors throughout. Living and dining areas are spacious enough to entertain, while remaining tastefully separated from a dedicated (fireplace-equipped) family room. In the middle, the kitchen, especially, has received an impeccable remodel which includes stone counters, custom cabinetry, professional-grade stainless appliances and tasteful white subway tile backsplash. Everything comes together with a sense of easy-flow that was just built for “hanging out.” 

Speaking of hanging out, this is a good time to mention 981’s lower level — an unfinished, 800+-square-foot basement that’ll be a blank slate for the new owners. Home gym, workshop, craft-room, … all of the above? (No worries about slating it for storage: that’s what the two-car garage is for, and why waste the direct backyard access?)

Back up top, modularity is carried to the second floor, with its four bedrooms (though one can easily be converted to go the home office route. Three share a full bath; the primary has its ensuite (nice touch on the tilework); plenty of closet space to go around. 

Not the least is the outside, where the large elevated wood entertainment deck overlooks a positively huge backyard. Peppered with old-growth pines and nicely manicured, the privacy fence drives home turnkey pet-friendly vibes. Turnkey, just like the rest of this place, come to think of it.
