785 Spalding Drive

Renovated four-bedroom in Spalding Woods, on a level 0.63-acre lot shaded by old-growth oaks that were preserved when the neighborhood was built. The kitchen has been recently remodeled with white quartz countertops and a fireclay sink that looks out over a private back yard. Hardwood floors run throughout, and two-inch faux wood blinds are already installed on every window. Four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,788 square feet above grade. The daylight lower level adds 687 finished square feet (a game room, home theater area, and dedicated gym) plus a separate 500-square-foot workshop for woodworking, storage, or space to finish out later. That brings the total finished living area to 3,474 square feet. Homeowners have made thoughtful investments in the parts of a house that don't get noticed until they fail. A recent Lennox variable-speed HVAC system with a whole-home dehumidifier, which handles Atlanta humidity noticeably better than a single-stage unit. A new high-capacity hot water heater. New double-pane energy-efficient windows. And the sewer line has been replaced from the original concrete to PVC, so the oaks that make this lot what it is won't become a problem underground. The roof received a full second layer in 2019. The backyard is open and larger than most in the area, with a park-like feel from the mature white and red oaks and good shade through the afternoon. The location is incredible. I-285 and GA-400 put every side of Atlanta within reach, and MARTA's North Springs station is 0.6 miles away: close enough to leave the car at home for a game or a concert downtown. Perimeter Mall, City Springs, and the Roswell Road restaurants are minutes out, and the Chattahoochee River trails at Morgan Falls and Cochran Shoals a short drive for some of Atlanta's best green space and trails.
