The crown jewels of Blackjack Mountain lie not at its pinnacle, but on its ascent in the coveted Eagle Ridge Estate. And just as the pristine mountaintop terrain is protected, so too are the properties within Eagle Ridge whose house-proud owners are reluctant to ever move away. So an opportunity such as this, in one of Marietta’s most coveted communities, is rare and fleeting.
On offer for the first time since 2003, is a meticulously presented home on nearly half an acre in a family-friendly neighborhood. With a serene woodland backdrop, this sturdy brick abode is securely anchored on a gently sloping lot, set high and dry and edged by well-manicured grounds. The home has been masterfully designed to utilize every inch of its floor space. Its expansive light-filled interior belies its handsome, unpretentious, efficiently-packaged exterior. But make no mistake, set over three levels with a 2300+ sq-ft footprint – this is a substantial abode.
The home showcases a multitude of brand new windows (installed in 2023, with a transferable lifetime warranty) that provide a wealth of natural light. Also new are ceiling fans, air conditioning units, Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, updated timber stairs on the classic internal staircase, all locks, knobs, and hinges, interior and exterior paint finishes, dimmable lighting, wifi thermostat and cameras. There’s even a brand new letterbox!
Other highlights include a spacious open-plan layout linking the modern gourmand’s kitchen (feat. granite counters) with the large living and dining spaces. Elegant light fittings feature throughout. A stunning fireplace is the focal point of the Great room, flanked by two gorgeous fan light windows. Upstairs, you’ll discover opulent bedrooms with elevated ceilings, plush carpets and roomy, well-equipped bathrooms. In the main ensuite, you can soak away your worries in a lovely garden tub set against a magnificent picture window whose appealing green vista is breathtaking.
A generously-sized deck overhangs the desirable south-facing rear yard, with its mature trees providing a buffer from the wind and weather. It’s the perfect place to entertain, yet also provides a peaceful and private retreat. Bonuses with this property include a large double tuck-under garage and an unfinished basement with loads of storage.
Make this home your own and while you’ll feel a million miles away from the bustle of everyday life, you are only an eight minute drive from Mariettta's vibrant Downtown and Square with its restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and cultural and historical attractions. Living in Eagle Ridge, there’s no need to battle with traffic because the I75 is right there. And Downtown Atlanta is less than 30 minutes away. Marietta is located in a well-regarded school district; so its reputation as one of Atlanta’s top living destinations is well-earned. This home has so much to admire, but it's best seen in person. But don’t delay or you risk missing out. Organize your inspection today.
