About This Home

As of April 2020

Did you grow up riding bikes in the street and are now looking for a home to recreate those memories? You’ll love this well-constructed brick home on a quiet street perfectly located in the Sagamore Hills Elementary school district. This home has been tastefully renovated and expanded to meet your needs. The original hardwood floors retain all their character. The white kitchen is topped with granite countertops and features under-cabinet task lighting. Opening into the keeping room, this space also leads out to a patio area, framed by the ½ acre level lot. Current owners added the master bath with an eye toward details. They matched the original Stone Mountain granite foundation and the original brick to form a seamless addition. Design selections include Kohler fixtures, Kemper cabinets, real stone flooring, and Elfa closet system. Sunroom is currently set up as a home gym but could also be an ideal home office, yoga studio or art studio. Fama Drive is a special street with neighbors who gather annually for "Fama Fest" - a potluck at the top of the cul-de-sac and corresponding go-kart race where neighbors race their homemade go-karts down the hill. It's a really fun street that is hard to top!
