5451 Hedgeflower Stone Mountain, GA 30088

A two-story home that pushes past 2,200 square feet takes on a quality that's a bit more sprawling than its humbler counterparts. Take 5451 Hedgeflower Court, for instance, where 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and plenty of common areas and private nooks culminate to create a space where the word hacienda could be playfully tooled about when inviting guests over. It starts outside, at the terminus of a quiet cul-de-sac tucked away in a sea of old-growth trees. (It's quiet out here: not bad for a home that's only a 15-minute drive to the perimeter.) In front, Dutch Colonial nuances accent a painted brick facade. Out back, a massive privacy-fenced yard luxuriates in the shade, but with an oversized screened terrace, how much time you spend outside is up to you. Now let's head inside, where the ground floor is divided up into two neat segments. The first, leading in front the entryway, quickly comes across as a more formal area: fireplace, wood laminate floors, some cozy furnishings, a clear shot to the dining area, and then, into the remodeled kitchen - a combination fit for entertaining friend and family. Beyond the kitchen, a carefully partitioned family wing to let loose in. The main room transitions into a sizeable recreational area, which could pull duty as a home office. (Provided it doesn't mess with movie nights) No matter: we're guessing the work room might best be located in that handy flex space. The one with fresh air and private backyard access for back-stretching walks after too much time at the keyboard. Or, upstairs? In one of the two secondary suites, with respectable closet space and access to one full bath. This is a pretty flexible home, after all - a point driven home by the palatial primary suite. The bed goes here; the armoire, here; and... over there? A sitting area that's the apotheosis of the reading nook. A pair of huge closets, too, before heading into the ensuite replete with double vanity. The upstairs laundry room is a family-friendly kicker. A lot of homes are about the little touches. In the case of 5451, it's about the big ones. Priced to bring immediate attention
