3970 Springleaf Point, Stone Mountain, GA 30083

The Indian Creek neighborhood of West Stone Mountain checks a lot of boxes: Quiet, bicycle-friendly streets. Plenty of nearby conveniences. Proximity to The Perimeter. Close-knit neighbors. And an uncommon level of affordability for such a close-in location. A cozy cul-de-sac is where you'll find 3970 Springleaf Point, a tastefully updated three-bedroom, three-bath split level with no shortage of comforts — not to mention plenty of the vestiges of its late-century charm. Beyond the stone-lined, two-car garage, the cheerfully hued front porch grants access to the large main living area. Flowing along with the deep hardwood tones, a dining space rests adjacent to a nicely equipped kitchen: budding home chefs will get a kick out of the five-burner stove and stainless appliances, all aesthetically anchored by a tile backsplash and breakfast bar. Down a short flight of stairs is the family room. The television will fit perfectly next to the oversized stone fireplace in the corner. Gas-burning, for convenience, and quite the centerpiece. Upstairs, a trio of bedrooms: you'll find plenty of storage in each; two of the beds share a full bath; the primary's ensuite, like its counterpart, boasts an oversized tub. Brand-new carpeting throughout. Out back, a large concrete terrace is a fine starting point: dog owners, especially, will rest easy knowing that a pooch-friendly backyard is just a privacy fence away. There's a small shed, too, just FYI. Regardless, the backyard enjoys plenty of green (this is a foliage-focused neighborhood), and along with a northern exposure, you can barbecue year-round in the shade. The term' starter home' is often used for homes under the $250K mark. But with quality of location, move-in ready convenience, and room to grow into (not to mention the investment potential, especially in this popular neighborhood), 3970 Springleaf may end up being a place the new owners will hold onto for a while. You could not get a better design and location for your long-term use. Priced at $249,900 to attract immediate attention. Serious inquiries only, please.
