1884 Taffeta CV Lithonia, GA 30058

Back on the market today. The previous buyers got "cold feet", their loss is your gain because even in easygoing Lithonia, it's tricky to find an enclave that's as laid back as the Taffeta neighborhood. Case in point: situated on an abbreviated cul-de-sac just off a low-traffic lane, is freshly updated, family-ready, four-bedroom/two-bath 1884 Taffeta Cove. It starts with the curb appeal, where pops of blue accent an overall homage to sturdily gabled colonial sensibilities. But it's through the front door where the thorough cosmetic overhaul starts to shine off a backdrop of ever-modular late-century ranch construction. The takeaway word, at first glance, is 'warmth.' Throughout, the contemporary color palette plays well with the oak-accented vinyl wood plank flooring. West-facing front windows provide an abundance of natural light, especially toward sunset. The tasteful sandstone tilework in the bathrooms. But, the new owners will just as easily derive warmth from how they choose to use the space: a stand-alone main living area is separated just enough from the remainder of the home to qualify as ideal for hangout nights with friends; beyond, the let-loose family area is just barely partitioned from an open, stainless-equipped kitchen (that boasts a great pantry, just opposite the entrance to the dedicated laundry room). Beyond, the sleeping quarters. Four of them in all, but one is already destined to be a dedicated "post-pandemic work from home" office. In any case, ample closet space compliments each; the same is true of the rest of the home - storage won't be an issue, here. And outside, a blank slate. A privacy fence already surrounds the (very) large backyard, so pet owners will be covered right off the bat, with plenty of acreage leftover for... a garden? A fire pit? Heck, a pool could go right over there. And, for the growing family looking to level up and leave the world of rent behind, at a price that's hard to beat. $259,900
