6279 MARBUT FARMS RD Lithonia, GA 30058

Back on the market. The previous buyers got "cold feet." Their loss is your gain because finding a home at this price that's move-in ready is next to impossible.
Now, ask your agent if this is true: Do some sellers intentionally set a low price when they want to sell quickly? It doesn't happen often, but the answer here is "YES." Priced at $239,900 to bring instant attention, you'll need to hurry and bring your best offer before Tuesday at 12 noon.

Quiet suburban tendencies with a touch of late-century charm — that's the appeal of the Marbut Farms community in Lithonia. It's a template that's stood the test of time since this area first sprung up in the late '80s: centrally located homes super-close to schools, conveniences, and access to the Perimeter, all mainstays that have never lost their timelessness.

As Atlanta has grown (and grown), it's become an area of the metro that's only more desirable, with homes at the under-$250K mark getting swept up pretty darned quickly. And, at the core of this neighborhood: 6279 Marbut Farms Road, a recently remodeled and updated 3-bed, 2.5-bath two-level with a hint of gabled, colonial nuance.

The focal point of 6279 is its living area: a lengthy space with south-facing windows that frame a centerpiece fireplace. Off this hub, sliding doors lead from the breakfast space into a pet-friendly backyard, sunlight abounding. An open kitchen carries through — modern appliances and more-than-enough counter space are ready to serve as a suitable venue for budding chefs to entertain over a glass or two of wine—a larger-than-expected formal dining and guest bath round things out on the main level.

Upstairs, the trio of bedrooms: the primary suite boasts a huge window that overlooks the front yard (but north-facing, so no worries about light blasting in during the wee hours). An accompanying private bath gives plenty of space to mill about during morning routines; the same can be said for the other pair of bedrooms, which share a full bath.

A double-length garage (a.k.a. car-plus-storage or dedicated studio space add-on, at your discretion) rounds out the 1586 square feet of 6279 — a turnkey, elevated starter catch-all with plenty of pleasant surprises to grow into.
