When you’ve been house hunting for long enough, there comes the point when you start to feel how a floor plan is going to work out. Sometimes, you find one that hits the sweet spot between modularity and flow: where cozy nooks blend together, so a walkthrough is as close as closing your eyes and mentally turning each corner.

Take 5437 Winslow Crossing in Lithonia, for instance, where the entryway hints itself into a quintessentially Southern entertaining space that peers out over the front lawn (though honestly, what better place for a work-from-home office?). And how heading straight forward reveals a wood-hued, fireplace-adorned, vaulted family room that showcases this home’s respectable 1,680 square feet. A formal dining space with plenty of seating for the family and a couple of guests. The remodeled kitchen with near-new white cabinetry, stone countertops and its own little breakfast enclave.

In the north wing, a pair of bedrooms, unified by one full bath; in the south, the primary and ensuite, with a walk-in closet, double vanity, and in addition to the shower, a spa-like oversized garden tub.

Out front, a two-car garage with extra craft space; out back, a screened porch that overlooks a private, green backyard.

It’s pretty quiet here. A tranquil little street that still manages to find itself scarcely a mile from an I-20 onramp and an accompanying slew of shopping conveniences. And then, just 5 miles to the Perimeter.

Turnkey, with great bones, hardly any sprucing necessary, close to the city, and at a price point in the mid-200s… 5437 hits another sweet spot — the does-everything starter home that the new owners are going to want to stick around in for a while.
