About this home

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath traditional home nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Murphey Candler Park neighborhood and Montgomery Elementary School district. Meticulously cared for inside and out, this inviting home offers a wonderful combination of comfortable living spaces, thoughtful updates, and exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining areas. Beautiful original hardwood floors flow throughout the main level and upstairs bedrooms. The spacious dining room at the front of the home provides an inviting setting for memorable gatherings with family and friends. The recently updated kitchen overlooks an expansive family room, where a sunroom addition fills the main living area with abundant natural light and creates a bright, welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. An expanded rocking chair front porch offers the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood, while a charming screened porch provides a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening cocktails. Both the sunroom and screened porch open onto a spacious brick patio, creating a wonderful flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The oversized primary suite features an ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and comfortable sitting area. Two generously sized secondary bedrooms share a hall bath, providing plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, the beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard offers privacy and room for recreation, with a dedicated area perfect for a fire pit, play space or gardening. Significant maintenance improvements: new roof (2018), new HVAC system (2020), exterior painting (2022), and freshly painted interiors throughout (2026). Neighbors frequently gather in the Barkston Court cul-de-sac to socialize while children ride bikes, play ball, and enjoy the freedom of a quiet neighborhood street. It's the kind of setting where neighbors become family and lasting memories are made. Enjoy convenient access to nearby Murphey Candler Park (.5 mile, 10 minute walk) and Blackburn Park, offering walking trails, playgrounds, sports fields, and recreational activities, as well as the local YMCA. Just minutes from the vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations of downtown Chamblee and Brookhaven. Located in the highly regarded Montgomery Elementary and Chamblee school cluster, with easy access to the Pill Hill medical district (Northside Hospital, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, and CHOA Scottish Rite Hospital). Also close to several private schools including Marist and St. Martins and convenient proximity to I-285 and GA-400. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a lovingly maintained home, exceptional outdoor living spaces, and a true neighborhood atmosphere in one of Brookhaven's most desirable communities!
