Tucked against Gresham Park with the South River Trail PATH just steps away, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers something increasingly hard to find in East Atlanta. True privacy, expansive green space, and nature at your fingertips. Step inside to discover gleaming floors that flow throughout, leading to a showstopper kitchen. Crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances create a space that's both beautiful and functional, the kind of kitchen that makes you want to linger over morning coffee or host dinner parties that stretch into the evening. The primary suite is generously proportioned with room for a king bed, seating area, and then some, a genuine retreat at the end of the day. The outdoor living is where this home truly shines. A sprawling fenced backyard features a custom fire pit for cool evenings and an expansive wood deck that's practically begging for gatherings. The detached parking structure provides versatile space for vehicles, storage, or workshop dreams. Modern conveniences include a smart thermostat, smart doorbell, and well-maintained HVAC. Location delivers too: minutes to I-20 and I-285, with Downtown Atlanta just 15 minutes away. This is the home where trails, privacy, and city convenience converge. Move-in ready and waiting for you.
