2125 Melrose Trace

The big-ticket work is done. This brick-front traditional in Margate has a BRAND NEW ROOF, new HARDIEPLANK SIDING, fresh exterior paint, new garage doors, a new water heater, new carpet and neutral paint, so you can move in without major projects ahead. It sits on a level, private 0.53-acre lot with mature trees, which is hard to find in South Forsyth, and is zoned for Daves Creek Elementary, South Forsyth Middle and South Forsyth High. A two-story foyer opens to hardwood floors, 9-ft ceilings, a formal dining room and a front office/flex room for working from home. The family room has a gas fireplace and opens to the kitchen, which offers granite counters, a center island, double wall ovens, a gas cooktop, a pantry and a sunny breakfast area. Upstairs, the primary suite has a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and a bath with a double vanity, soaking tub and separate shower, plus three more generous bedrooms. The daylight walk-out basement adds a finished bonus room with a closet for a media room, gym or hobby space. The unfinished side offers abundant storage, room to expand, and a boat door to the yard. Outside, enjoy a large deck and a lower patio overlooking a private, landscaped backyard. Margate's amenities include a swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, sidewalks and streetlights, with a low $700 annual HOA. You're minutes from Halcyon, The Collection at Forsyth, parks, the library and GA-400.
