Offered here is a vanishing breed - an exceedingly spacious, meticulously remodeled, free-flowing ranch home on an oversized lot and a close-in location just minutes to everything Atlanta offers.

And there's a double meaning to the term 'ranch' when it comes to 5531 Joeclay Drive in Stone Mountain. On the one hand, it's a 3-bedroom/2-bath single-level residence with an open concept layout. A special one, too — during the head-to-toe renovation, scarcely a stone was left unturned by a skilled team who specializes in thorough, high-end contemporary remodels like this one:

• The roof, HVAC, windows, and water heater, are all brand-new.
• The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and professional-grade stainless appliances.
• The luxurious spa-like bathrooms showcase elegant subway tile shower surrounds, granite tops, and under-mount sinks.
• Beautiful, site-finished oak hardwood floors extend throughout the open floor plan.
• There’s a golf-course-worthy front lawn, a new 6ft perimeter privacy fence to enclose the massive backyard, and an extensive wood entertainment deck out back.

But 'ranch' takes on a new meaning in the most readily apparent quality of 5531 Joeclay Drive: the sense of open space. Inside and out, everything about this
home is positively sprawling. Sitting on a half-acre corner lot and clocking in at over 2,000 square feet, it's larger than most four-bedroom homes and features a flexible (yet utterly practical) floor plan. Completely updated and elevated to accommodate modern living.

It's worth discussing the common spaces (all three of them, in fact). First, upon entry, the wide-open living space is large enough to include a formal dining area
that comfortably seats eight.

Second, an extensive family room is sufficiently tucked away for hosting movie nights or enjoying intimate evenings gathered around the brick fireplace.

And finally, the sunroom. Flanked by the oversized wood entertainment deck, this light-filled space functions as a separate living suite on its own. Destined to be
the new owners' favorite room — the place where tapping on the iPad over morning coffee will happen and, thanks to southwest exposure, the ideal spot to catch a sunset over a glass (or two) while the grill gently smokes outside.

Three bedrooms and two baths are off on their own. This wing is well-organized, with plenty of closet space to go around. Special attention, however, was given
to the owner's suite with its private, fully remodeled bathroom. And, for linens and clothes, the home has a dedicated laundry room, making chore day a
breeze.

All in a solidly convenient location: only a few miles from the Perimeter, within a half mile from Redan's K-12 offerings, and even a Kroger that you can get to and from in under 10 minutes for last-second "we need milk" runs. Not that you'd know about any of this close-to-the-action hyper-convenience: it's quiet here. 5531 Joeclay is unique among its competitors. You could not get a better design for your long-term use. The friendly price is well under what you'd pay for new construction with similar square footage and close-in access to I-285 and I-20.
