500 Sherwood Cir., Stone Mountain, GA 30087

Christmas comes a little early this year because the previous buyer got "cold feet" and we're back on the market looking for a serious buyer. The new owners of 500 Sherwood Circle are likely going to describe their home as somewhat “Old World:” Colonial in spirit with a New England kick; sentimental, but not nostalgic; a tone of formality, for sure, but nothing rigid — there’s a cardigan-and-khakis sense of casualness to this place. A lot of this balance rests in the nuances: the architectural flourishes that define 500 Sherwood. Things like the romantic, well-framed front door, or out back, the bay windows. The easy way the modular, built-in bookshelves just vibe with the fireplace in the family room. The little bar, just off the kitchen, which itself separates a pair of dining spaces (one in the front for when company comes ‘round; the other, more of a Taco Tuesday alcove). There’s that screened-in porch out back, too, which is just an adorable little touch. The two-car garage, with its workspace nook. In short? it all just kinda “comes together,” doesn’t it? Upstairs, the bedrooms have plenty going on — high marks, especially, to the primary suite with its segmented bath and walk-in closet. Flexibility throughout; it’s not too hard to imagine one of these rooms ending up as a new home office.  And, all of this — the move-in-ready factor, fresh facelift, and “be quick to jump-on-it” price tag — in a perfectly charming little Stone Mountain neighborhood that’s still convenient enough to surface thoroughfares to ease the commute. And then, when you get home… you’re home.
