The previous buyer lost their financing so we're ready for a serious buyer. Their loss is your gain because 5233 McCarter Station is nestled in a forested little enclave and is going to go quick. It’ll start with the curb factor — because that blue-hued wooden exterior has cottage appeal in spades. And, out back, the good-to-go yard is pet-friendly and large enough to have some fun in making it your own. Then, inside, to the twin common areas. Modularity in the living room is effortlessly married to the intimacy of the fireplace-equipped family room anchoring the space. The newly remodeled kitchen replete with stainless steel appliances, bright-and-white cabinets, wants for nothing — substantial enough to move about at dinner time without bumping into each other. Plenty of natural light throughout.  When 5233 was first constructed, the idea was a trio of bedrooms. That’s still the case, but times change, so bedroom No. 3 is just a laptop and a legal pad away from being a post-covid friendly work from home retreat. The flow is then carried through to the sleeping spaces: primary and secondary suites are streamlined and comfy, with plenty of closets. A pair of bathrooms round out the deal. Two-car garage, too, which is just nice to have. As Stone Mountain is being evermore adopted as the darling of OTP living, it’s becoming increasingly trickier to nail down a classic, Goldilocks “starter home” like 5233 McCarter Station: removed-from-the-city-enough to be peaceful, but close enough to qualify as convenient; manageably cozy, but with the footage to spread out; renovated and totally turnkey, but still a blank slate where personality can be instilled and flourish. And its eyebrow-raising price certainly doesn’t hurt.
