Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a private 3.87-acre lot backing up to scenic Sope Creek, this hidden gem offers the rare chance to create your dream home in one of East Cobb’s most desirable locations. Set in a small, exclusive community and zoned for top-rated schools — East Side Elementary, Dickerson Middle, and Walton High — this custom-built estate boasts a solid structure and fantastic layout, just waiting for your updates and personal touch. This spacious home features 5 generously sized bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with a flexible open-concept floorplan that includes the option for a main-level primary suite. The bones of the home are in excellent condition, providing a strong foundation for a full renovation or cosmetic refresh. With two cozy fireplaces, a full finished basement, and plenty of natural light, the possibilities for customization are endless. A standout feature is the upstairs flex room, currently configured as a professional-grade recording studio — perfect for creatives, remote workers, or anyone needing a private workspace, media room, or home office. Outside, you’ll find a peaceful backyard retreat along the banks of Sope Creek, complete with mature hardwoods, walking trails, and a whimsical swing over the water — a picturesque backdrop for relaxing or creating family memories. Whether you're an investor, renovator, or homeowner looking to put your stamp on a property, this is a rare opportunity to transform a well-built home into a true showpiece. Don’t miss your chance to own a one-of-a-kind estate where privacy, location, and potential come together.
