5817 Calico Ct., Lithonia, GA 30058

Calico Court itself is a tiny little cul de sac-appointed street, tucked far from the sounds of traffic (though Covington Highway is still less than a mile away and I-20 access for easy commuting little over 3 miles south). After the sun goes down, it’s likely the only thing you’ll hear from the large, privacy-fenced back yard or the newly constructed entertainment deck is the sounds of crickets chirping from the tiny creek that flows just beyond. This interesting tidbit of geography grants some in-the-country charm, and even better, assures privacy lovers that north-facing neighbors are perpetually kept at arm’s length. Inside, the main level is a testament to wide-open, streamlined modularity. A vaulted ceiling, anchored by rich dark laminate wood floors, umbrellas the living, dining, and kitchen spaces — the latter of which has been thoroughly renovated to include cool-toned custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and professional-grade appliances.  Downstairs, a separate family area pairs with a half bath, for a self-sufficient suite that’s ideal for movie night. Just beyond, the one-car garage (and adjoining laundry/utility room) leaves plenty of room for extra storage.  Rounding out the 1,600-plus square feet is the upper level, with its trio of bedrooms and two full baths (decked-out with marbleized tile work and sleek fixtures). A small family will have ample room to call their own, while still maintaining enough footage for a dedicated home office. Classic, split-level utility, modernized-to-the-minute and immersed in the solitude of nature is what gives 5817 Calico Court its timelessness — the rest will be up to you. Serious inquiries only, please. This home is priced to sell.
