This solid mid-century brick ranch is a rare gem situated on nearly 3 acres of beautifully landscaped property. Cross the babbling creek as you enter the tree-lined driveway, then wind through a peaceful forest of mature hardwoods and ferns before arriving at this private retreat.    Inside, you'll find a spacious living room with custom built-in shelving and access to the inviting front porch. The kitchen offers abundant cabinet and counter space, a breakfast area, breakfast bar, and opens to the dining room. Just off the kitchen is a generously sized laundry room with extensive storage and built-in work desk. The impressive 20' x 20' family room features a stunning stone fireplace and overlooks the patio, colorful flower gardens, and a screened porch with ceiling fan-perfect for year-round entertaining and relaxing.    The home offers three bedrooms and one and a half baths, including a primary bedroom on the main level with a tiled shower. Additional updates include a newer roof, newer HVAC system, and newer water heater. The covered double carport with attractive brick pillars could easily be converted into an enclosed garage.    For hobbyists, craftsmen, or small business owners, the approximately 700-square-foot metal workshop is exceptionally well equipped with an outdoor wood furnace, indoor heater, air compressor and gas lines, built-in workspaces, and a large exhaust fan. A detached double carport provides additional storage for vehicles, equipment, or firewood, while the three-door potting shed/barn offers the perfect space for gardening supplies and projects.    The grounds are truly a gardener's paradise, showcasing decades of thoughtful landscaping with mature azaleas, roses, camellias, hydrangeas, blueberries, daylilies, hostas, ferns, dogwoods, and towering hardwood trees. A peaceful creek winds through the property, creating a serene setting that backs directly to the local elementary and middle schools.    Conveniently located just 2 miles from I-75, 3 miles from I-675, and approximately 8 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living and easy access to everything Metro Atlanta has to offer.    This parcel contains two lots and may have the potential to be replatted into two separate parcels, subject to city and/or county approval.     Who would imagine such peaceful living could be so convenient?
