1150 Oglethorpe AVE NE Brookhaven, GA 30319

A traditional home offers elegance and detail, but it can still be playful when it's creatively designed. This large Brookhaven home boasts 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and offers graceful traditional - like formal living and dining rooms finished with wainscoting and set off by columns - with beaucoup fun, from a backyard basketball court to a back-deck gazebo for grilling. Move to the kitchen and find stone counters, tile backsplashes, an island with a gas cooktop, stainless appliances, and cabinet- paneled refrigerator. A casual eating nook offers views of the backyard and joins the kitchen and great room. The great room has an attention-getting fireplace as well as an expansive vista of the back deck that's primed for grill parties, al fresco dining, lounging under the arbor, or sipping a drink while watching the kids play basketball on the court below. En route to the second floor primary suite, find a landing with large window and floor-to-ceiling bookcases perfect for a reading nook. The suite's huge bathroom features walk-in shower, soaking tub beneath privacy windows, and 2 vanities (1 with makeup station). Down the hall is a guest room with private bath, plus 2 additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath. The finished basement offers another bedroom, wet bar, and large storage room - all adjoining the 2-car garage. It's an easy walk to area parks, including Fernwood at just a 4-block stroll.
