Peace, privacy and a beautifully refreshed split level home on 1.25 acres in Winston. Set in the established Applewood community with no HOA, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home pairs stylish updates with the major improvements that let you move in with confidence. The heart of the home is the main living area, where soaring cathedral ceilings and an open flow fill the space with natural light from morning to evening. The kitchen shines with freshly painted cabinets, new granite countertops, a tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. New LVP flooring and carpet, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, outlets, switches and door hardware give every room a clean, finished feel. The primary bath features a new vanity, toilet, mirrors and faucets with a refinished tub and shower, and the hall bath has been thoughtfully updated as well. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility. Use it as a second living area, a home office, a guest retreat or whatever fits your lifestyle. A dedicated half bath keeps the space self contained, and a sliding door opens directly to the private backyard. The work behind the walls is just as impressive: a new 30 year roof, new windows, new PEX plumbing throughout, a new vapor barrier and fresh exterior paint. A new back deck and new front steps with railing complete the picture. The true showstopper is the land. The 1.25 acre lot offers room to spread out, and a private trail leads down to a creek at the back of the property, creating a quiet retreat for morning walks, evening coffee on the deck and the kind of serenity that is hard to find this close to everything. Zoned for Mason Creek Elementary, Mason Creek Middle and Alexander High. Minutes to I-20, Arbor Place Mall and Clinton Nature Preserve, with Downtown Atlanta about 28 miles away. Home is USDA and VA eligible. FHA financing available on or after 12/19/26.
