4988 Mountclaire Rd | A Smoke Rise Classic w/ Room to Dream Some homes simply have a presence. This is one of them. Tucked away on 1.01 private, beautifully landscaped acres in the sought-after Smoke Rise community of Stone Mountain, 4988 Mountclaire Rd offers a rare combination of timeless craftsmanship, generous living spaces, mature landscaping, privacy, & extraordinary potential. Lovingly cared for by its original owner, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence has been thoughtfully maintained throughout the years. With a newer roof and HVAC, an expansive yard, established landscaping, and the quality construction of an era when craftsmanship truly mattered, this is a home with character that is increasingly difficult to find. From the moment you arrive, the setting makes an impression. Mature trees and beautifully maintained landscaping create a private, peaceful backdrop that feels worlds away from the ordinary. Step inside and the gracious foyer welcomes you with a beautiful staircase leading to the home's private bedroom level. Four generously sized bedrooms provide room for everyone, including a spacious primary suite positioned at one end of the home for added privacy. The secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully situated at the opposite end, creating a layout that works beautifully for families and comfortably accommodates larger furnishings. The bedrooms overlook the backyard, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into everyday living. The main level is designed for both everyday life and entertaining. A formal dining room is positioned just off the foyer, while a versatile flex room offers the freedom to create the space you've always wanted - a home office, library, study, playroom, creative studio, or quiet retreat. A convenient half bath adds to the ease of entertaining. From the garage, a generous laundry room leads into the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen presents an exciting opportunity for the next owner to bring their own vision to life. Choose your colors, finishes, appliances, fixtures, and design details and create a kitchen that reflects your personal style. The breakfast area flows seamlessly into the living room, where a beautiful fireplace serves as the natural focal point. Imagine holiday mornings, fireside evenings, family celebrations, and gatherings with friends centered around this inviting space. The Surprise Beneath the Carpet One of the home's most charming discoveries is waiting underfoot. For years, the hardwood floors were protected beneath carpet, preserving them from everyday wear. With the carpet now removed, the hardwoods have been uncovered and are ready to reveal their potential. It feels a little like opening a forgotten gift - discovering beautiful craftsmanship that has been waiting patiently beneath the surface. A Basement Limited Only by Your Imagination And then there is the unfinished basement - a tremendous bonus and one of the home's most exciting opportunities. Whether you envision a spectacular home theater, private man cave, game room, entertainment lounge, fitness studio, workshop, hobby space, children's recreation area, wine cellar, or simply extraordinary storage, this expansive unfinished area gives you the freedom to create something entirely your own. For the buyer who loves having options, this is where the imagination really begins. Outdoor Living at Its Best The connection to the outdoors continues with a screened porch and deck crafted from high-quality woods, materials and workmanship that can be difficult and costly to duplicate today. It is the perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, weekend entertaining, or evenings spent enjoying the privacy and beauty of the property. The backyard itself is one of the home's greatest assets - spacious, mature, and beautifully established.
