729 Dove Tree Ln., Social Circle, GA 30025

A kind, close-knit community with a bustling calendar and outdoor splendor in every direction, Social Circle has managed to cultivate a reputation as being one of the last undiscovered gems of just-outside-the-Metro Atlanta. Google it, and you should come up with a pic or two of the quintessential downtown strip, or maybe a glimpse of the charming public schools — that’ll about give you the idea. Which is why it was only a matter of time until Dove Tree Lane came into existence. This quiet, family-friendly nook is only about a mile’s drive from the heart of Social Circle (and not far at all from I-20), but is also a community in and of itself, in a way: that’s what happens when every house on the street is brand-new — including 729 Dove Tree Lane. Clocking in at 4 beds and 2.5 baths, 729 was built in 2021 yet still maintains its share of established flourishes. Just off the entryway, a sitting room is ready to accommodate visiting neighbors or a de facto catch-all office nook. New wood-toned flooring brings the whole downstairs together as you continue through the oversized living area, open-plan dining, and stone-topped kitchen spaces (entry right there, too, from the two-car garage).  Upstairs, a central hub branches off into the four bedrooms and second bath. Of note in particular is the enormous primary suite, with its “morning rush”-friendly bathroom and big-enough-for-everything walk-in closet. The other three bedrooms, each with plenty of closet space of their own, round out the needs of a growing family, as do the types of touches you only find in modern construction (an upstairs washer/dryer space seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?).  Small-town living, out in the country, at its finest — and still only 35 miles from the Perimeter. But, only if you have to head off into the big city.
