5576 La Fleur TRL Lithonia, GA 30038

Stonecrest is one of Atlanta's "last frontiers." Resting close enough to the eastern edge of the Perimeter, it's a manageable commute to and from the city; meanwhile, it's still got its fair share of quiet, easygoing neighborhoods that don't skimp on the nearby "day-to-day" necessities. The reasons for rarity don't exclusively rest in this tranquil nook of the metro — a 3-bedroom/2-bath over 1,600-square-feet, move-in ready, and under $250K? That's going to raise some eyebrows for all the right reasons. 

Which brings us to 5576 La Fleur Trail, a late-century, lovingly maintained split-level that checks just about every box imaginable. Oodles of surrounding green? The tree-lined setting is quintessentially Atlanta. A contemporary palette that plays nicely with the open-floor plan and natural light? The super bright interior complements the subtle ashen wood-toned plank floors and new plush carpet. Two-car garage, fireplace, and brand new stainless steel appliances? Check, check, and check, with a bit of the bucolic to spare.

Another part of the allure of 5576 rests in the sense of convenience. Every "big ticket" amenity has plenty of life to go — roof, HVAC, hot water — certainly turnkey to the extent where the new owners can spend their emotional energy making this place their own. The backyard is a great starting point: with that many trees, a privacy fence is all it will take to establish a doggo's paradise. 

A glance at Google Maps will show you that this home is in a cute little creek-adjacent elbow, just east of Panola Road. So you're less than two miles from I-20 (and before there, for what it's worth, an accessible Wal-Mart/Lowe's/Publix trio).

At the end of the day, 5576 hits a sweet spot. Somewhere where a starter home meets the provisions to evolve, where new chapters can be written, and where you can plant roots for as long as you'd like. Priced to bring immediate attention. $239,900
