Are you looking for a big 5-bedroom house in West Cobb with a finished basement? How about something that's been recently refreshed, is move-in ready, and sits on a level lot in a quiet cul-de-sac? If you answered yes to these questions, then you definitely don't want to miss out on this house!
For commuters, this home is located just 11 miles west of I-75 (Perimeter/Cumberland area). Closer to home, there's a nice variety of parks, dining, shopping, and grocery options. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the proximity of Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park and its many trails. The Avenue West Cobb and the Historic Marietta Square are just down the road, and the house is convenient to shopping along the Dallas Hwy/Barrett Pkwy corridor. This home is also zoned in one of Cobb County's best high school districts, Hillgrove High School.
When the owners purchased this house, it checked all the boxes for a forever home. They invested over $70,000 to make it their own, starting with a brand new roof in 2018. Custom storage was installed in every closet in the house, with additional storage units installed in three bedrooms and in the garage. Updates to the bedroom on the main level make it a perfect spot for a home office. All new light fixtures and ceiling fans were installed throughout. The hardwood floors were refinished and stained a beautiful color to compliment the modern coat of fresh paint the rest of the house received. You won't find any boring grays in this house! In 2024, the kitchen and keeping room hardwoods were refinished once again before going to market. The bathroom on the main level was renovated from top to bottom. Out came the tub/shower combo, and in came a sleek frameless, stepless shower, a new toilet, vanity, and fixtures. The kitchen was refreshed with new cabinet paint, a new dishwasher, and new fixtures. The large keeping room off of the kitchen is a perfect spot to relax and also has direct access to the large back deck, which was also updated in 2024 with new deck boards (where needed) and new stain.
Updates were done to the already-finished basement. The media room was brightened up, and a large new office was created with beautiful French doors. New floors were installed in both of these spaces, and there's enough flooring left over for someone to redo the entire basement if they choose. As a matter of fact, if one desired, they could easily add a kitchenette and convert the half bathroom into a full bathroom as well.
Outside, the property received all new landscaping. A large 12x8 shed was installed in the backyard, just steps from the garden, where the owners grew a wide variety of vegetables. The backyard is nice and level, and there's plenty of room for a pool. As noteworthy is the installation of a brand-new water heater in 2024.
This is one amazing house, and were it not for a great opportunity, the owners would never have left. Their only regret was not being able to pick up the house and move it with them.
