Five bedrooms, three full baths, and 4,297 finished square feet in Lithonia, with a bonus room, a formal living room, and a separate dining room that all exist as their own spaces rather than borrowed corners of something else. This is the size of house families outgrow their starter homes hoping to find, and 6856 Search Light Trl delivers it at a number that leaves room to build equity instead of spending it. The main level puts a full bedroom and bath on the ground floor, which answers the aging parent question, the college kid question, and the guest room question in a single move. The formal living room and separate dining room sit off a two story foyer. The great room opens up two full stories with a fireplace and windows stacked to the ceiling. Beyond it, the finished bonus room absorbs a home office, a playroom, or a second den without anyone giving up a bedroom to get it. The kitchen runs open to a breakfast nook with a granite topped island, gas cooking, a wall oven, and cabinetry deep enough to be worth using. Upstairs, the owner's suite carries a tray ceiling, a fireplace, a separate sitting area, and a walk in closet built to the scale of the room, with a garden tub and separate shower in the bath. Three more bedrooms share a hall bath along an arched walkway overlooking the great room below. Out back, a full width deck steps down to a fenced yard under mature hardwoods. Minutes to I-20, Stonecrest, Arabia Mountain, and the Panola Mountain trails. Underneath it all sits an unfinished basement with walk out access and daylight windows, which is future square footage you can add on your own timeline or leave alone entirely, because nothing above it depends on it. So, if you're a ready-to-act buyer, call your agent today and submit your best offer because homes of this caliber, at this price, remain rare in this evolving market. Well qualified, serious buyers only.
