Positioned at 2970 Sumac Drive in Atlanta, Georgia, this Dunwoody quintessential 1960s home is a rare find in such pristine condition. Located in the Lockridge Forest subdivision, neighborhood amenities include gorgeous swim and tennis facilities, as well as a shady playground and flat, grassy recreational areas. Additional nearby parks include Dunwoody’s Windwood Hollow Park and Brook Run Park, the region’s largest park with 102+/- acres of outdoor experiences, including a two-mile trail loop, large playground, dog park, skate park, community garden and event facilities.
Back on Sumac Drive, this four-bedroom white brick home sits atop a hill with flourishing greenery surrounding every side. The extended front porch builds interest as you approach the front door aside a wrought iron banister, reminiscent of the original period architectural style in which this home was built. Through the front door, the natural tones in the chaste hardwood floors make a strong impression. Attention is drawn to the opposite wall where a full panel glass door with sidelights foreshadows a sunny deck that occupies a portion of the back exterior wall of the home.
In the kitchen, custom cabinets again showcase the light, natural tones of maple wood. A tile backsplash runs under the cabinets on both walls and showcases an ornamental tile design over the range. This unique linear-style kitchen makes for convenient and comfortable cooking. At the end, a short countertop bar separates an intimate dining room with wood paneling along the chair rail and entry point to the garage. Both the kitchen sink and the dining room provide an eye-level view to the backyard.
The master bedroom is spacious and inviting. Linear closets close with classic bi-fold louvered doors. The bathrooms also allude to the home’s history with original bath and shower tiles and sliding privacy glass shower doors.
A split-level floor plan steps down to a cozy family room featuring tile flooring and wall-length exposed brick hearth with built-ins on one wall. Floor-to-ceiling wood paneling lines the other walls. An over-sized sliding glass door provides a large frame view of the screened back porch and lush foliage of the backyard. The screened porch sits under a sloped roof with exposed beams and is framed in half-height walls that allow for more privacy. This space stretches across the back of the house, culminating where the upper level deck begins, so that these two spaces are remotely connected. An archetypal screen porch door leads to adventure.
Situated on .5+/- acres, this property features well-established gardens and outdoor experiences that can keep gardening enthusiasts captivated throughout the day. The grass doesn’t get much greener than the verdant lawn at 2970 Sumac Drive in Atlanta’s deeply rooted Dunwoody, Georgia.
