4268 Catalpa Ct., Ellenwood, GA 30294

Not too far outside the perimeter, but far enough to be removed from the hustle, there is a sense of tranquil, long-lasting solitude to 4268 Catalpa Court — an ideal 3-bed, 2.5-bath mini-castle in near-flung Ellenwood, only 15 minutes to Candler-McAfee, and 25 minutes to the City. Home listings usually begin with the inside first, don’t they? And there’s plenty to boast in that regard. But, we feel the need to start outside — the gathering spot. Pressure-treated deck, going off into an immaculately manicured, fenced back yard: you can let the dog out before the sun rises, without having to worry about her getting away. And that’s where you start your day. Downstairs, an oversized living space blends into a functional kitchen (stainless appliances in tow), and finally, to the dining area. This where you and yours will gather, communally, when everyone’s back on the same page about that again (and with room to spare — hence the incredible deck, ready for your grill). That’s where your day winds down. The color palette downstairs comes with greyscale, easy tones. But, take one look at the staging, and you might find your own hues to apply. That’s the fun of it all, thanks to some swatches from Sherwin-Willaims. Oh, there’s a garage, too. More than enough room for a car, plus a workshop area. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are peppered with an abundance of closet space. The primary suite comes equipped with an adjoining bathroom — so you both can get ready in the morning without overlapping; the other bedrooms on the 2nd-floor share enough closet space so nobody has to squabble over shelving. And a full bath that can afford to be kept kinda sloppy if the new owners have kids of their own. 4268 Catalpa Court is an ideal home to grow into. Hurry.
