2598 Beckwith Tr., Marietta, GA 30068

Steps from East Cobb’s Wheeler High and Eastvalley Elementary lies this sprawling, nearly 3/4-acre homestead featuring a deceptively large ranch home, incredible outdoor living, and tremendous potential. County records indicate the property includes nearly 3,000 square feet of heated and cooled living space, in addition to a ton of storage in the attic, crawlspace and unfinished parts of the basement. But it’s the backyard that makes this property the envy of the neighborhood. The well-maintained 4-bed, 3-bath, ranch home over finished basement was built in 1966 and lovingly maintained by the current owners since 2016. They enjoy lovely spring and fall afternoons from the screened-in-porch or stone patio overlooking pool and backyard. The home’s main level features a centrally-located white eat-in kitchen with upgraded appliances including double oven, an island with breakfast bar, and pantry. Separate dining room, family room and huge laundry room all connect via the kitchen, which also has exterior doors to the back patio and 2-car garage. A large, separate living room along the front of the house lies between the dining room and front foyer. Two spacious secondary bedrooms and a hall bath with tub/shower combo ultimately lead to the left rear corner of the home, where the master suite features a walk-in closet and double vanity. The family room provides access to the aforementioned screen-in-porch and features a gas log fireplace and beamed ceiling. An interior stairwell leads down to the daylight basement in-law suite, featuring a second tiled kitchen, the 4th bedroom, 3rd bath and ample dining and living space. A door leads to a utility storage / workshop room, which features access to a huge, clean crawlspace, where the nearly new furnace and water heater reside (owners recently had a top-of-the-line Lennox HVAC system installed to efficiently cool and heat the house). Here also are some security features we’d love to tell you about, yet won’t publish publicly. An exterior door from the basement’s finished living area leads to the left side of the fenced backyard. Outside the basement, a handful of raised beds, along with several productive fruit, nut and flowering trees and plants, comprise a garden area, at the rear of which is a solidly built tree fort the kids will love — especially sliding down the fireman’s pole. From the spacious driveway parking pad, a gate to the left leads to the stone patio immediately outside the kitchen and screened-in-porch. A few steps down past colorful and fragrant gardenias, caladiums and other gorgeous plants, and you’re on a stone pool deck surrounding a large in-ground saltwater pool with vinyl liner. Owners replaced the pump and salt cell in the last week or so as they uncovered and opened the pool for the season — the water should be clear and beautiful in a matter of days. Multiple areas for seating, sunning, grilling and serving surround the pool, including a gazebo which remains. On the right side of the pool, mature greenery separates the pool deck from a large level area hosting 2 sizable sheds, accessible via a double gate just off the level driveway. Whether you're a hobbyist, car enthusiast, or in need of a workshop for your trade, the home’s attached, kitchen-level 2-car garage workshop is a versatile space providing ample room for projects and storage. Features include 220V and 110V power for all your electrical needs, copious shelves and cabinets, an air compressor and more. While the home’s next owners will want to add their own touches, the house is clean, well-maintained and move-in ready. There’s plenty of room for household goods storage, boat and RV parking. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city right here in this peaceful East Cobb retreat. And when it’s time to get out and about, shopping, dining, and entertainment options galore are at your doorstep! But don’t sleep on it if you want to sleep in it! 2598 Beckwith Trail is priced to sell.
