5231 Hermitage Drive

Beautiful courtyard entrance with circular drive welcomes you to this private retreat, nestled on just under two acres in sought-after The Hermitage! The kitchen features a lovely light-filled breakfast room, with the screened porch just steps away, perfect for that morning cup of coffee! The soaring ceiling of the great room is accentuated with a stunning stacked stone fireplace and a second access onto the rear porch, and the open concept dining room is wonderful for entertaining. The office on the main is complimented with built in bookcases and would also make a wonderful music room or playroom! The home boasts a master bedroom on the main level, which enjoys private access to the rear deck. Upstairs there are three additional bedrooms and two baths, and a bonus room that could be a 5th bedroom or used as a media room or playroom. Recent updates include a new roof, new HVAC system, and new hot water heater. Master Bath and the flooring throughout can be updated later by the new buyers, to reflect their personal taste, and home is priced with these decorating needs in mind. The daylight basement has so much storage space, it is already stubbed for a bath and could be finished for additional living space, converted into an in-law or guest suite, or used as a hang out area or play space. Lots of options! Walk out from the basement level to the lower, covered patio area. Other outdoor spaces include the koi pond, a grilling deck, the screened porch, a stone patio for alfresco dining, and a fantastic fire pit area, ideal for whiling away the evening with a glass of wine or making s'mores and memories with friends! Such a peaceful and tranquil oasis, yet only minutes from shopping and dining at The Avenue of West Cobb, and only 7 miles from the vibrant Marietta Square. Neighborhood amenities include swim and tennis, playground area, basketball court, clubhouse, and walking trails with a footbridge over Allatoona Creek, which runs through the neighborhood. Nearby parks and trails also abound, including the Silver Comet biking trail. Home is serviced by award winning schools, Vaughn Elementary/Lost Mountain Middle/Harrison High, and is convenient to Kennesaw State University.
