Meticulously maintained by a real estate professional, this beautifully cared-for 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom brick ranch offers the rare combination of move-in-ready condition, thoughtful updates, a premium lot, and an incredibly convenient Intown location—without the Intown price tag. Tucked into a peaceful, friendly neighborhood just minutes from East Lake YMCA, Kirkwood, East Atlanta Village, Downtown Decatur, and I-20, this home puts the best of Atlanta within easy reach while giving you a quiet place to come home to. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by fresh interior paint, updated light fixtures, and recessed lighting in the kitchen and living areas. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, ceramic tile flooring and backsplash, plus additional cabinetry thoughtfully added to provide extra pantry and storage space. Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated with ceramic and marble tile extending throughout the tub and shower areas. The primary suite is privately positioned at the rear of the home, creating a peaceful retreat separated from the other bedrooms. The primary bath features a seamless glass shower enclosure, while the front bedroom includes its own ensuite half bath—an ideal setup for a home office, guest room, or flexible living space. Step outside and the home continues to shine. Two separate doors provide direct access to the back deck—one from the kitchen and another from the primary suite—making outdoor entertaining and everyday living effortless. The backyard is flat, fully fenced, and professionally landscaped, with a fire pit creating the perfect setting for evenings with friends and family. A large storage shed provides plenty of room for tools, equipment, hobbies, and everything else you don't want taking up space inside. Major updates and improvements have already been taken care of, including a 2023 HVAC replacement, approximately 10-year-old roof, new driveway leading to the carport, new backyard fencing, replacement double-pane wood-frame windows, fresh exterior touch-ups, and extensive professional landscaping. Mature trees have also been professionally cut back from the home and fence line, helping create a cleaner, more manageable property. One of the home's most unique advantages is its position at the top of the neighborhood. The elevated setting allows water to naturally flow away from the home, while the backyard levels out around the house—giving you the elevated views and curb appeal of a sloped lot without sacrificing a functional, flat backyard. And then there's the location. Enjoy quick access to East Lake, Kirkwood, East Atlanta, Charlie Yates Golf Course, Downtown Decatur, and I-20, making Midtown and the heart of Atlanta easily accessible. It's the kind of location that gives you proximity to some of the city's most desirable neighborhoods while allowing you to enjoy a quieter neighborhood setting and a more approachable price point. Peaceful. Updated. Functional. Convenient. Completely move-in ready. If you're looking for a home where the major projects have already been handled and you can simply move in, settle down, and enjoy the lifestyle, 1988 Mark Trail deserves a closer look.
