Walk up the old, stone steps and enter through the heavy, wooden front door into this tribute to days-gone-by, 80-year-old, lovingly restored, craftsman home on a storybook lot with pond. This 4"ish" bedroom, 1 "ish" bath, (see details below) ranch home with finished, walk-out basement, including kitchenette and workshop, is situated on approximately 1.7 acres, with ample, paved parking, a carport, and a large storage shed. Conveniently located between Lawrenceville, Grayson, and Snellville for shopping, dining and entertainment, with easy access to hospital and medical offices. Grayson High School district! Completely renovated in 2015 for modern living while paying homage to the original 1940s construction. Adorned by brick pathways and stone steps, leading guests to a beautifully restored front porch. Two large, main-level decks blend nicely with the original style of the home. 30-year architectural roof, cement board siding and cultured stone veneer for a low-maintenance, attractive, and durable exterior. One-off, custom, period-correct millwork, original doors and hardware, pocket doors and restored hardwood floors. Large, open kitchen, mudroom w/laundry, extra spaces for entertaining and so much more. The kitchenette also creates a mother-in-law suite option.The 2015 remodel included new sheathing and an exterior house wrap, new insulation in walls, floors and ceilings, and an entirely new HVAC system including an upgraded air conditioner, an efficient, dual-zone air handler, gas furnace, gas water heater, and new easy-clean, thermal-pane windows, all of which conspire to deliver tiny utility bills, so small they're almost cute. Additionally, a central vacuum system was added, whole-house water filtration, LED lighting, and a hard-wired security system with cell phone backup. Also, new in 2015, the entire electric service, breaker panel and wiring, with considerations for flexible kitchen configurations and entirely new plumbing throughout the house. Outside, a robust network of underground French drains carries roof water out and away, keeping the bright lower-level dry and fresh.
