What if you could live a more independent, self-sustaining lifestyle… without giving up proximity to everything? Set on nearly an acre in the heart of Smyrna, this updated brick ranch offers a rare opportunity to create space, privacy, and connection to your environment, just minutes from The Battery, Vinings, Smyrna Market Village, and the Silver Comet Trail. Tucked behind mature trees and natural landscaping, the property feels removed from the pace of the city while still being right in the middle of it. A private driveway, full fencing, and additional parking pad provide both privacy and flexibility for multiple vehicles, RV, trailers, or equipment. Inside, the main level is filled with natural light and designed for everyday functionality, with a layout that flows easily between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The sunroom serves as a natural extension of the home, offering year-round views of the backyard and a place to slow down. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility for how people live today, whether used as a home office, gym, media room, guest space, or additional living area. The layout also allows for the potential addition of a future bathroom, creating even more long-term functionality if desired. Step outside and the lifestyle truly comes into focus. The property features established fruit trees, berry-producing vegetation, grape vines, raised garden beds, and a powered chicken coop, creating a unique opportunity for those looking to live more intentionally, grow their own food, or simply enjoy a more connected outdoor experience. For buyers who prefer a more traditional backyard, these elements can be easily simplified or reconfigured to fit your lifestyle. Major system updates including the roof, HVAC, water heater, and electrical improvements provide confidence in the home's infrastructure, while smart home features, EV-charger (with room for 4), and generator-ready capability bring it forward into modern living. For added flexibility, short-term rental is permitted with proper licensing, offering potential for income or hybrid use depending on your goals. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes, this home offers a unique combination of space, flexibility, and accessibility that is increasingly hard to find. This is not just a home. It's a different way to live… without leaving everything behind. Book your private showing today!
