5571 Tunbridge Wells Road Let's skip the part where you assume a home at $225, 000 must have a catch. There isn't one. For a generation told that starter homes were extinct, 5571 Tunbridge Wells Road is proof they're not. Just rare. And priced to move. Welcome to Chimney Rock, an established Lithonia subdivision where the streets curve gently, mature pines tower over rooftops, and neighbors still wave from their driveways. This is the kind of neighborhood that was built when builders still gave families room to breathe. Lots large enough to matter, streets quiet enough that kids can ride bikes without parents holding their breath. Tunbridge Wells Road winds through the heart of it, and 5571 sits on a corner lot where the road bends, giving you more yard, more light, and more breathing room than you'd expect. It's a three-bedroom, two-bath two-story built in 1989, when late-century construction hit its modular stride. Nearly 1, 400 square feet of living space organized across two levels with the kind of separation families actually appreciate. You'll notice it the moment you step through the front door: vaulted ceilings in the living room make the home feel larger than its footprint, while a stone-surround fireplace gives the space warmth and character. Natural light pours through the bay window, and the open design connecting main level to upper floor keeps everything feeling unified rather than chopped up. The kitchen opens to the dining area in a layout built for everyday living: white cabinetry, gas range, and enough counter space to actually prepare a meal without playing Tetris with your cutting board. Upstairs, the primary suite offers genuine room to spread out, while two additional bedrooms share a full bath through a central hallway. Out back, the yard is ready for your finishing touches. A concrete patio and mature trees already provide privacy and shade. A neighbor's fence lines one side; add your own to complete the perimeter and give the dog room to roam. And then there's the location, which in this case is the real story. The Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area sits just minutes away. That's 40, 000 acres of protected land, over 30 miles of paved PATH trails for hiking and biking, and granite outcrops that have been 400 million years in the making. Weekend mornings could mean coffee on the patio followed by a trail run through one of metro Atlanta's most underrated natural treasures. When you need the basics, the Mall at Stonecrest has shopping, dining, and a 16-screen AMC for movie nights. I-20 access is less than three miles away, making the commute into the city as painless as east-of-Atlanta gets. Still looking for the catch? There isn't one. At $225, 000, this is the starter home your generation was told stopped existing. Clean, functional, and positioned in a neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood.
