2866 Lexington Trace, Marietta

Bright, renovated, and genuinely move-in ready - this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on a third of an acre in a great pocket of East Cobb, and there's no HOA to answer to. Walk in and the open floor plan does its job immediately: natural light pours through the main level, and the fully renovated kitchen is the kind you don't have to plan around - quartz counters, stainless appliances, and clean sightlines straight into the family room. That family room is the real showstopper, with vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings and a fireplace that makes the whole space feel bigger and warmer than you would expect. Hardwood floors run through the main level and tie it all together. Out back, the fenced backyard has a feature most houses can't offer: the footprint of a former pool, now filled in, with the original concrete decking still intact and circling the yard. It's basically a ready-made hangout spot. Picture a fire pit anchoring the middle of it, string lights overhead, and a loop of concrete perfect for bikes, scooters, or just pacing while you're on the phone. It's the kind of backyard detail that photographs well and lives even better. Location-wise, you're zoned for Shallowford Falls Elementary, Hightower Trail Middle, and Pope High School, and day-to-day life is easy from here - grocery stores and shopping are close by, and downtown Roswell is only about 15 minutes away when you want a change of scenery. The big-ticket item here is that the hard part's already done. The kitchen and bathroom renovations alone represents real money and real time most buyers would rather not spend themselves - this one's ready for someone to just move in and enjoy it. Come see it in person; the light and the layout are hard to capture fully in photos.
