Just a short six miles east of Atlanta sits the historic neighborhood of East Lake. Developed out of a 19th-century plantation, it was once popular with Atlanta residents looking to escape the hustle and heat of the city during the hot summer months. Known for its early 20th-century cottages and bungalows, this historic community is now a blend of both old and new, with shops, eateries and mixed-use developments all within an easy drive to downtown. The Forest at East Lake is a newer community developed by Urban Craft Homes. Completed in 2019, this East Lake oasis has been thoughtfully designed. It boasts homes that surround a 10+/- acre greenspace, creating an intimate and private setting for each of its charming modern farmhouse-style residences, a timeless design popular among in-town home buyers.
1989 River Birch Lane provides an outstanding opportunity to own a fabulous move-in-ready home in this picturesque community. Featuring a contemporary take on the classic farmhouse-style, this home is both warm and inviting. From the lovely, landscaped front yard to the welcoming, rocking-chair front porch, its design oozes character and curb appeal from all angles.
Enter through the front door and into a spacious foyer to find quality craftsmanship and details like shiplap accent walls, built-ins, wood floors and much more. The home’s open floor plan provides seamless flow between spaces, including indoor and outdoor living areas, and offers flexible options to customize the layout to your unique lifestyle. A gorgeous home office sits just to the right of the entryway, providing a quiet, modern workspace for remote and hybrid professionals. Bathed in natural sunlight and accented by a wall of built-in bookshelves, this room would also make a beautiful living room or formal dining room, depending on your needs.
The open kitchen and living room combination is the heart of this home and makes the perfect gathering spot to entertain guests. Wood ceiling beams add just the right touch of character and timeless appeal, while a wall of windows stretching across the back adds a modern touch and provides wonderful views of the backyard from every vantage point. The elegant kitchen is well-equipped with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island with casual seating options and plenty of prep space.
A separate breakfast area is the perfect size for both your morning coffee or your next dinner party. And the comfortable living room features a shiplap accent wall and cozy fireplace, making it an ideal place for catching up at the end of a long day or watching your favorite movie. Extend your living space outdoors by entering the rear-covered patio. This is a great spot to grill, dine al fresco and spend time with guests while taking advantage of Georgia’s wonderful weather. A powder room and convenient main-level laundry room complete the first floor.
Take the stairs up to the second level to find a spacious loft area. This space can be used as a media room, a playroom, a home office, an exercise space or a studio, providing flexibility to customize it as you see fit.
Also on the upper level is the luxurious owner’s suite. This expansive retreat has a vaulted ceiling and offers additional space for a sitting area, as well as plenty of windows that make the room light, bright and inviting. Pamper yourself in the spa-inspired en suite bathroom, featuring a double vanity, a separate soaking tub and a walk-in shower. There is also a wonderful walk-in closet. It is the perfect place to recharge and escape for some rest and relaxation.
Down the hall are two nicely-sized secondary bedrooms with vaulted ceilings that provide personal space for all. A well-appointed full bathroom is conveniently situated with easy access from both bedrooms.
From top to bottom, this exquisite home is full of premium upgrades, designer fixtures and high-end finishes. No detail has been spared. Even the backyard is pristine and well-manicured. Featuring a six-foot privacy fence, its park-like setting is an entertainer’s dream, featuring outdoor seating areas and lots of room for pets, games and more.
