About This Home

290 Fortson Drive

Welcome to 290 Fortson - a home of distinction in the highly coveted Five Points community. This exquisitely renovated four-bedroom, four-bath residence offers more than 3,500 square feet of refined living space, blending timeless elegance with modern convenience. The home strikes the perfect balance of style, comfort, and everyday practicality for today's discerning buyer. From the moment you arrive, the impeccable curb appeal sets the tone. A beautifully maintained exterior and manicured landscaping draws you inside, where abundant natural light pours across the gleaming hardwood floors and an open, inviting layout. To the right, the spacious living area offers inspiring views of the lush front landscape, while the adjacent formal dining room provides the ideal setting for intimate dinners and elegant entertaining. The heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, high-end Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, a striking backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting that elevates the space's refined atmosphere. A thoughtfully placed skylight fills the kitchen with natural light. Just beyond, an all-black statement fireplace anchors the living space with warmth and sophistication, offering a seamless transition to the screened-in porch-an inviting retreat overlooking the serene backyard oasis, perfect for morning coffee or gatherings with friends. On the main level, the expansive primary suite serves as a private sanctuary. The spa-inspired en suite bath impresses with oversized porcelain tile, two large quartz-top vanity with custom cabinetry, and a private water closet, elevating everyday living with exceptional comfort. The fully finished basement extends the home's versatility, offering two additional bedrooms, a full bath, its own private patio entrance, multiple living areas, an office, a laundry room, and a full kitchen. It is an ideal setup for guests, multigenerational living, or homeowners seeking additional income through long-term leasing or Airbnb accommodations - all while preserving privacy and comfort for everyone. Recent upgrades include a new air conditioner, roof, irrigation system, EV charger, and gas water heater, enhancing efficiency and minimizing maintenance while allowing you to simply enjoy the exceptional lifestyle this home provides.
