*Track record matters.* When the team behind your home's renovation has successfully transformed hundreds of properties across metro Atlanta, you know you're in good hands. Welcome to 1028 Martin Road, where decades of experience meet uncompromising excellence and at just $299,900, it's priced to move. Now, in a market flooded with cookie-cutter new builds and corner-cutting flips (where everything is apparently 'better than new!' and 'won't last long!'), this meticulously remodeled split-level offers something genuinely rare: real character enhanced by sophisticated modern upgrades done right. No lazy agent hyperbole here. No copy/paste descriptions drowning in desperate exclamation points. Just quality that speaks for itself. Let's start with what you'll notice from the curb—sturdy red brick foundation grounding sage green hardi-plank siding, crisp white trim harmonizing with rich olive shutters. And yes, a whimsical pop of chartreuse at the front door, hinting at thoughtful surprises inside. Those towering pines? They form a natural canopy that drops temperatures and fills your property with that peaceful whisper of pine needles. So, let's step inside and feel the difference. Contemporary gray plank flooring flows seamlessly throughout, while the living room sets the tone with sophisticated palette and thoughtful lighting—perfect for intimate evenings or lively gatherings. The kitchen is where this home really shines. Slate-gray cabinetry reaches the ceiling, granite countertops stay cool to the touch, and professional stainless appliances make cooking a joy. No need for 'chef's dream!' exclamations when quality speaks for itself. The adjacent dining room handles everything from homework to holiday feasts with equal grace. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms offer true private retreats. The primary suite feels genuinely peaceful as updated windows buffer outside noise while morning light filters in softly. There's a walk-in closet that actually fits your wardrobe, and a beautifully remodeled primary bath. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom with spa-like finishes, one already showcasing home office potential. But here's the game-changer: a spectacular lower level. Nearly 600 square feet with cozy fireplace, currently the ultimate recreation room but ready to become whatever you need—theater, teen suite, creative studio. Light a fire on cool evenings and watch the space transform. And with third full bathroom, laundry, and direct garage access daily life flows seamlessly. Step outside to your private retreat beneath majestic pines. The elevated deck overlooks a landscaped yard where mature trees provide natural shade and fresh pine scent. Sure, we could type 'great for entertaining!' and move on. But when you've got natural architecture and a deck positioned for morning coffee and evening wine, why settle for shortcuts? This space deserves better. So do you. Location-wise, you couldn't ask for more. This established Stone Mountain neighborhood radiates pride, yet you're minutes from Highway 78 and I-285. Stone Mountain Park's 3,200 acres feel like your extended backyard. The Village provides eclectic shops and restaurants where neighbors know each other. Quality schools, Yellow River Trail, Mall at Stonecrest—everything's covered. This isn't some surface flip. We're talking comprehensive renovation—new roof, updated systems, designer finishes. Every detail reflects what happens when experience meets vision. Perfect whether you're first-timers skipping the starter phase, growing families needing space, or savvy investment minded buyers recognizing opportunity. Finding 2,036 square feet of thoughtfully updated space at this price point is increasingly difficult. We could hit you with urgency tactics, but let's be honest—you've read enough. Time to trust your own eyes over any agent's adjectives. When you're ready to see what quality looks like, 1028 Martin Road speaks for itself.
