About This Home
Why keep scrolling? This is the moment you pick up the phone and call your agent to arrange a tour. Priced at $205,000 to bring instant attention, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch in Lithonia's established Panola Downs neighborhood offers that rare combination of move-in ready condition and genuine affordability that first-time buyers and investors alike have been searching for. The first takeaway upon crossing the threshold is the sense of space. The vaulted ceiling in the living room goes a long way toward achieving this, as does the unmistakable sense of flow that extends past the corner-set fireplace with its crisp white mantel, through the dining area, and into the kitchen beyond. Durable gray-toned laminate wood floors play nicely off a clean, contemporary color palette that serves as the backdrop for whatever the moving truck drops off. It's a clear canvas here. The kitchen received attention where it counts: white cabinetry provides plenty of storage, granite countertops offer durability and style, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range make meal prep a genuine pleasure rather than a chore. Easy-to-maintain tile flooring keeps things practical in the high-traffic cooking zone, and the open sightlines to the living and dining areas mean the cook never misses out on the conversation. Down the hall, three bedrooms offer flexibility for a growing family or for converting one into a dedicated home office. The primary suite enjoys its own ensuite bath for added privacy, while the two additional bedrooms share a second full bathroom. Plenty of closet space throughout keeps organization simple. Out back, mature trees frame the property, lending that slightly tucked-away feeling even though you're still conveniently close to everything. The yard has room enough for weekend activities or future plans, whether that's a garden, a deck, or simply letting the dog roam. And speaking of convenience: Panola Downs Road sits in that sweet spot where suburban tranquility meets easy access. Covington Highway and I-20 are just minutes away, making commutes into the city manageable. Nearby shopping at the Kroger center, Stonecrest MarketPlace, and all the daily errands are well within reach. Yet, pull into the driveway at the end of the day, and the quiet settles in. The single-level floor plan is worth mentioning twice. No stairs to navigate, everything on one level, with a one-car garage for secure parking and a bit of extra storage. It's the kind of practical, no-fuss layout that works whether you're just starting out or scaling down. 5474 Panola Downs is unique among its competitors. You will not find a better design for your long-term use at this price point in this part of the Metro. Offered as a no-questions, no-surprises move-in ready package deal, this is an exceptional value in an area that continues to appreciate over time. So, if you're a ready-to-act buyer, call your agent today for a private tour and submit your best offer because homes of this caliber at this price remain rare in this evolving market. Serious inquiries only.
