669 Crystal Cove Ct., Loganville, GA 30052

There are family homes and then, there are family homes. Tucked away in Gwinnett County, on an idyllic little cul-de-sac is 669 Crystal Cove Court, a five-bed, estate-style property that makes “room to grow” the understatement of the year. Incidentally, Crystal Cove is called that for a reason — this quiet enclave, 30 miles from the core of Midtown Atlanta, is situated on the shore of a darling little pine-lined lake, bringing the vacation factor to your back door year-round, after-dinner strolls and all. Behind the impeccably landscaped, four-gabled curb appeal of 669 Crystal Cove, is a main level that is the picture of sweeping modularity. Right through the front door, the centerpiece of the home hits you straight away — a fireplace equipped, towering central living area, flanked by an enormous chef’s kitchen and ample dining space — the sort of “beating heart” of the home that is raring to accept as much hustle-and-bustle as you’re willing to throw at it, while never sacrificing the clean lines of its modern aesthetic. The primary suite is on the main level as well; upstairs, a collection of the home’s remaining four bedrooms are suited to accept an already-big-and-growing family’s dynamic. A grand total of 4.5 bathrooms means there will never be a line in the morning. This nearly 4,000-square-feet of finished living space could easily be the end of the story. But let’s head downstairs, to the lower level. Built into the gentle slope of the property, the bottom of 669 can hardly be called a “basement.” Rather, this ~2,400-foot area (already studded and wired, and waiting for the new owners’ unique input) is a labyrinth of some-seven additional rooms and storage suites. Home theater? Wine cellar? Study/office, man cave/she shed?
