Some homes give you a great location. Some give you a beautifully updated interior. And then there are the ones with a backyard that makes you want to stay home. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Kennesaw home brings all three together, with an inground swimming pool and a backyard designed for more than just summer. Picture crisp fall afternoons outside, football Saturdays with friends, evenings gathered around the fire pit, holiday get-togethers on the patio-and when the warm weather returns, your own pool is already waiting. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom. New flooring creates a fresh, cohesive feel, while the kitchen has been updated with all-new appliances, under-cabinet lighting and finishing touches that make the space feel current and inviting. Both bathrooms have been renovated, giving you one less project to think about after moving in. Updated fixtures, recessed lighting and new bedroom lighting complete the transformation and give the home a bright, polished feel throughout. Downstairs, the bonus/media room gives you the flexibility every home needs-a game-day hangout, movie room, home office, workout space or guest retreat. With a half bath on this level and its own walk-out to the patio and pool, it also creates a natural extension of the backyard entertaining space. There's plenty of substance behind the updates, too: a newer roof, NEW water heater, NEW pool pump, NEW thermostat and the garage features new epoxy flooring, newly installed automatic garage door openers, and a Tesla/EV charger! And one more thing you'll appreciate-NO HOA. All of this in Cobb County, approximately five minutes from Kennesaw State University and convenient to shopping, dining, major roadways and everything Kennesaw has to offer. Updated inside. Your own pool out back. No HOA. And a location that keeps you close to it all.
