    What's special

    Welcome to 438 Melvin Drive in the highly sought-after Preserve at Jefferson! Where space, style, and location come together effortlessly. Perfectly positioned on a .89 acre partially fenced lot and just a short walk to the award-winning Jefferson City Schools, (cut through from the backyard) this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the ideal blend of everyday comfort and elevated living. Gorgeous Inside! Step into a grand entry with a stunning open dual access staircase, flanked by a dedicated home office (could be sitting room, other) and formal dining room. The heart of the home opens beautifully into a light-filled, two-story living room with soaring 20' ceilings, seamlessly connected to the kitchen, creating the perfect space for gathering and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath and a massive closet! Three additional bedrooms and a full bath reside upstairs, while a main-level guest suite and full bath offer flexibility for visitors or multi-generational living. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features refinished natural oak hardwoods (2025), fresh interior paint, updated stair railings, and NO carpet on the main living areas, with only new luxury carpet on the stairs. Upstairs, enjoy updated LVP flooring, refreshed bathrooms and a cohesive, modern feel from one end of the catwalk to the other. The full unfinished basement offers incredible potential and is already partially finished with laminate flooring and drywall, currently used as a home gym and media space, bonus: it is stubbed for a future bathroom. Additional highlights include a whole-house water filtration system and an outdoor setup designed for relaxation and entertaining: an expansive patio, dedicated fire pit, and a peaceful deck overlooking the private, wooded backyard, perfect for sunset evenings. This is the one that checks every box! Space, Updates, Location, and Lifestyle, all in one of Jefferson's most desirable communities. Owner is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Georgia.
