At the end of a private cul-de-sac in Atlanta's Echo Hills (no HOA), 2424 Melinda Court is a fully updated home where everything you need lives on the main floor and lush forest scenes fill every window. A flat, wood-fenced backyard welcomes dogs, gardens, and quiet conversation alike. Twenty minutes from downtown Atlanta, Buckhead, Decatur, and Perimeter, yet worlds away the moment you step onto the property.
Recently renovated with contemporary style and lovingly maintained ever since, that same vision was extended to the terrace level in 2023. NEW ROOF and gutters were added just last year. The open floor plan flows from entryway to kitchen to living and dining, anchored by a gas fireplace and opening through French doors onto the back deck. The modern kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, white cabinetry, gas range, and stainless steel appliances. Soft-close cabinets and drawers carry through the entire home, and recessed lighting on dimmers in the main living spaces, primary bedroom, studio, and office lets you set the mood for any moment. Original hardwood floors stretch across the entire main level, continuing through all three bedrooms and every closet, with no carpet anywhere in the home. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, and the ensuite bath offers a walk-in shower, double vanity, and private water closet. An additional full bath and laundry closet round out the main level.
Downstairs, a third full bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower that mirrors the master's design. An office with private backyard access works equally well as a guest suite or quiet retreat. And for those who create, a large studio with professional lighting and ventilation, polished cement floors, and a large storage room, ready for oil paint, clay, ink, or whatever calls to you. Beyond the newly renovated space, 1,136 square feet of unfinished opportunity sits ready for your vision, bathed in natural light. New HVAC was installed on the terrace level in 2023.
Outside, the back deck floats among the treetops, with deep Georgia woods sloping down beyond the fence. Peachtree Creek babbles far below at the distant edge of the property. This view is yours forever, with the creek line guaranteeing nothing will ever be built behind you.
The bones are solid and the systems are fresh. Termite, pest, and wildlife exclusion bonds transfer to you at no cost. An optional neighborhood pool and a community lake. A two-car garage with a third parking pad.
Top-rated public and private schools sit nearby, with Lakeside High School just one mile away. Quick access to I-285, I-85, and Chamblee/Doraville MARTA station makes commuting effortless.
Step out your front door into a sweet, established neighborhood, and out your back door into the Georgia woods. Your sanctuary and your gathering place, all under one roof, twenty minutes from everything that matters.
Come see for yourself, sit on the back porch and experience why they call Atlanta the “City In The Forest.”
