About this home
Welcome to 5201 Beechwood Forest Drive, a beautifully maintained traditional two-story home nestled on a private, professionally landscaped half-acre lot in the sought-after Beechwood Forest Subdivision in Lithonia. Offered for only the third time in its history, this special property has been lovingly cared for by its original owner for 47 years and thoughtfully maintained by its current owners over the past two years. As you arrive, you'll appreciate the attractive curb appeal, mature landscaping, two-car garage, extended parking pad, and the peace of mind that comes with a professionally encapsulated crawlspace completed by CGS Waterproofing. Step inside to a welcoming foyer filled with natural light and discover a functional floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level features a formal living room, formal dining room, spacious family room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, convenient powder room, laundry closet, and a bright four-season sunroom overlooking the private backyard. The kitchen offers an abundance of maple cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast area, and plenty of workspace for preparing meals and gathering with family and friends. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the living room, dining room, and family room, adding warmth and timeless character to the home. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized secondary bedrooms, a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination, and a spacious owner's suite featuring a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a recently updated walk-in shower. Nearly new carpet throughout the upper level and a complete interior repaint, finished just two years ago provide a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The fully fenced backyard offers exceptional privacy and plenty of space for pets, play, gardening, or outdoor entertaining. Additional storage is abundant with numerous closets and attic space throughout the home. Major updates and improvements include practically new kitchen appliances, a recently updated walk-in shower in the primary suite, professional crawlspace encapsulation by CGS Waterproofing, fresh interior paint completed two years ago, attic insulation added during the winter of 2025 to improve energy efficiency, and a septic drain field replacement completed approximately six years ago. The septic tank was also professionally pumped and serviced in 2024, providing additional peace of mind for the next owner. Combining classic charm, thoughtful updates, exceptional maintenance, and a private setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that has been cherished for generations and is ready to welcome its next chapter.
