2457 Cedar Wood Ct., Marietta, GA 30068

Dinner on the deck, conversation on the screened porch, and a wooded backyard beyond-outdoor living takes center stage at this Cedar Cove home. The oversized deck wraps around the porch with space for dining and lounging, so a gathering can spread out without feeling disconnected. French doors lead back to the family room, where hardwood floors and a substantial stone fireplace create a warm place to settle in. The updated kitchen makes its own impression with richly patterned stone counters, white cabinetry, a contrasting island and a copper-toned sink. Pendant lighting brings the island into focus, while the separate dining room offers a setting for meals that stay indoors. Paneled walls, dark hardwoods and the stone exterior give the home character alongside its updated finishes. Upstairs, a second stone fireplace brings that character into the primary bedroom. The updated primary bath pairs a glass-enclosed shower with rainfall and handheld fixtures, detailed tilework and a double vanity. Two additional bedrooms share this level, while a fourth bedroom and full bath downstairs provide separation from the main living spaces. An attached two-car garage and main-level laundry add convenience to a home whose most memorable space may be just outside the French doors.
