3144 Sunnyford Ln., Lithonia, GA 30038

There's a rustic elegance to 3144 Sunnyford Lane — a consistent thread of lodge-like charm — that becomes apparent before even turning into the long driveway. Beyond the row of seasonal trees framing the oversized yard, an inviting front porch, freshly painted with shades of blue and white, flanked on each side by stonework. It's only four miles to the bustle of the Perimeter, but here? You can tell — it's comfortable inside: an instinct reinforced with the cleverness 3144 utilizes with its 2000-plus square feet. Through the front door, a formal living room flows into the dining space; beyond, an intimate family room with an oversized fireplace complete with a stone surround and masonry reaching the ceiling. If you don't turn left before the built-in bookcase, you might miss the kitchen (which would be a surprise, given its generous size). Contemporary cabinetry, ample counter space, all new stainless appliances, and large enough to accommodate a pair of cooks; this room will be a guaranteed stand-out for a family who loves a home-cooked meal. At the end, a breakfast nook keeps everything breathy and light. This extended space includes a separate laundry room and access to the two-car garage. A trio of bedrooms rounds out the upstairs. All new plush carpet, flexible layout, and abundant closet space puts 3144 solidly in the "family of five" category. Two bedrooms are connected by a "jack and jill " bath; the third with a split ensuite accessible through from the hall presents lots of possibilities for how you can fill out the floor plan. And downstairs ... the embodiment of "finished basement." Anchoring this level is a large central room with a second fireplace. Rec-room ready, with enough space for a pool table, bar, and bonafide home theater. The two additional rooms are blank slates. One is guaranteed to be an away-from-the-action home office; the second? Well, what do you like to do? Whatever your answer, this is the ultimate bonus room. Outside, the accessible backyard is flexible at the moment, so no doubt it'll become adapted to fill the new owner's needs: Just a privacy fence away from a dog-friendly running spot. A few bags of soil for a west-facing garden. Or a patio to kick back with the sounds of nature. Ready for your finishing touches and priced to bring immediate attention at $269,900
