You'll love this handsome home in The Forest, a popular Smoke Rise community. Beautifully maintained in and out with a decor that welcomes you home. Note as you drive up the new roof (2026), newer driveway and all brick facade. Updated landscape design gives a feeling of balance and peace. The entry shows off beautiful warm hardwoods, crown molding with woodwork in a plinth and bullseye design often featured in better homes of this era. A large room to the right is set as a living room but can certainly be used as a music room, office or even a playroom. To the left is the dining room; a bit separate but open to allow flow and conversation when entertaining. Straight back is the great room - filled with light and providing entry to the back deck and pergola. This room features a fireplace with gas logs and chair rail accents. In the short hall off the great room is a half bath, easily accessible but private. This home has two primaries with the first on the main, featuring a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a full updated bath. There is a double vanity, large tub and a glass shower. The kitchen has been updated with stone counters, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and subway tiles. There is a separate casual dining area set in front of a large window looking out to the back yard. In the hall to the laundry there is an entry to the garage and a large pantry. The laundry has a desk/work area, large utility sink and washer and dryer that stay with the house. Upstairs a landing allows entry to the three bedrooms. Here you will find the large second primary with a sitting room with great light, double vanity, tub with shower and a large walk in closet. A "secret room" off the bath is great for a craft room, exercise room or or an office. The two secondary rooms are good sized and share a bath. There is a great space over the garage for storing holiday decorations. Walk out to the backyard from the great room for an expansive outdoor dining space, with a deck covered with a pergola that overlooks the private back yard with updated landscaping and low maintenance plantings. The Forest is a wonderful neighborhood in Smoke Rise where you will often see neighbors walking, kids playing. There is a voluntary community association that hosts neighborhood events from time to time. Close to shopping and recreation that includes pools, tennis courts, Smoke Rise Country Club and of course Stone Mountain. Make sure to visit and see your next home.
