3149 Patuxent, Lithonia

I'll be honest. The seller and I went back and forth on how to price this one for a while. Five bedrooms. Three full baths. A kitchen you'll want to show off. A basement that's begging for family movie nights. A backyard where you can let the dog out and lose sight of him for a minute. Every price we came up with felt like we were giving it away. But we both know how this works. You overprice a house to feel good about it, then spend three months watching it go stale while buyers move on to the next one. We weren't interested in that. So we priced it to get your attention. Whoever gets this one is going to wonder how they got so lucky. Five years from now, you'll either be building equity here or still looking for something this good. So what does that price actually get you? From the street, sage green siding plays off crisp white trim and charcoal shutters. A new front porch with natural wood railings frames the entry. Professional landscaping slopes gently upward from a long concrete driveway to the two-car garage. Mature hardwoods stand sentry on all sides, and in the distance, Stone Mountain catches the light. Inside, the open floor plan connects dining, living, and kitchen without sacrificing definition. Warm gray laminate floors anchor a contemporary palette of soft whites and cool neutrals. Recessed lighting keeps everything bright. New windows let the outside in. The kitchen deserves a second look. Slate gray shaker cabinets line both walls, topped with speckled granite and backed by clean white subway tile. Stainless appliances include a gas range with vented hood, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher. Counter space to prep, cabinet space to store, and enough room to chat with someone in the living room while dinner comes together. The primary suite offers a private retreat with natural light and room to arrange furniture the way you want. The ensuite continues the renovation's attention to detail: marble-veined tile floor to ceiling, granite-topped vanity, and walk-in shower with built-in niche. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath, remodeled to the same standard. Downstairs is where this home separates itself from the competition. A sprawling recreation room anchors the space, ready for movie nights, game days, or whatever your family needs it to be. An office tucked off to the side is positioned perfectly for remote work. Two more bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, extended family, or a teenager who needs their own domain. A third full bath and utility room complete the level, with direct garage access. Step onto the wood entertainment deck and take in what's really yours. The backyard stretches out, fully enclosed by a new six-foot privacy fence, mature trees creating a natural backdrop. This is the kind of outdoor space that's vanishing from Metro Atlanta. Room for kids to run. Room for the dog to roam. Room for a firepit, a garden, or all of the above. When the sun goes down and the grill is cooling off, the only sound is crickets. Covington Highway is minutes away. I-20 puts you on your commute without hassle. But when you pull into that driveway and the fence closes behind you, the rest of the world fades away. The seller invested in doing this right. We priced it to get your attention. The home did the talking. Now the only question is whether you'll be the one who got lucky, or the one still out there, endlessly scrolling, wondering why nothing else quite measures up. What better way to kick off 2026 than with keys in your hand? This one goes live the first full week of January. Call your agent, schedule your tour, and submit your best offer.
