January 29th, 2012

Don’t miss this fantastic ranch in Atlanta’s Sexton Wood’s neighborhood!  With only 2 days on the market, we’ve already had 5 showings and a couple of interested buyers.  If you think this home may be the one for you, give us a call today!  404-419-3619

You’ll want to see this beautiful home for the location in desirable Sexton Woods, but you’ll stay for the condition. This three bedroom, two bathroom, traditional 4-sided brick ranch is decorated with charm, well cared for, and move-in ready. You’ll love being so close to everything inside the perimeter from Brookhaven’s Town Brookhaven, Village Place Brookhaven, and the excitement of Buckhead just minutes away. Hamlin Circle is a wonderfully quiet cul-de-sac street with friendly neighbors in the middle of it all.

One of the highlights of your new home is the amazing renovated kitchen, which includes fresh lines, beautiful stained custom cabinets, sparkling stainless steel appliances, clean granite countertops, and a convenient eat-in bar. The kitchen opens to the breakfast room, and the main living room is connected by a large case opening.  The living room is light filled thanks to a wall of windows, and it feels like home. The master bedroom is a comfortable size and has its own bathroom. The two secondary bedrooms are inviting, and the hall bath serves both bedrooms.

Hardwood floors throughout and warm custom paint tie this beautiful package with a bow.

With a classic curb appeal and sturdy construction, this home is built to last. The home sits away from the street giving you space in the front yard. The home includes a one car carport as well as additional parking space out front. The backyard is so large you must see it to believe it.

It’s been meticulously maintained and updated through the years both inside and out. You’re going to love it!
