Offered for the first time by its original owner, this well cared for Howell Wood home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved over the years while retaining the architectural character that makes it distinctive. Set on a cul-de-sac in an established neighborhood with its own sense of place and no HOA, the home feels connected to its wooded surroundings, with abundant windows bringing in natural light and framing green views throughout. Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a substantial brick fireplace and warm hardwood floors give the main living areas a character all their own. The open, light-filled gathering space looks out to the surrounding greenery, while the refreshed kitchen features white cabinetry, updated countertops, a large island and generous workspace. Newer windows and doors and concrete siding are among the recent improvements made to the home. All bedrooms are located on the main level, including the primary suite with its vaulted ceiling and private bath, keeping everyday living conveniently on one floor. Downstairs, a large finished recreation area and full bath add flexible living space, with additional unfinished areas for storage or workshop use. The unusually deep two-car garage provides substantial space beyond the parking bays for tools, equipment, hobbies and storage. A whole-house generator adds another practical feature. Outside, the fenced backyard creates a defined space for pets, play and outdoor living, but the property doesn't end at the fence. Beyond it, the lot continues into the woods and extends to a creek, adding another layer of natural space and separation. With mature trees surrounding the property and no home immediately behind it, the setting feels removed without being remote. Howell Wood abuts Berkeley Lake and puts two of the area's most active destinations within easy reach: Peachtree Corners Town Center for shopping, dining and entertainment, and Downtown Duluth for restaurants, shops, festivals and community events. Major transportation corridors are also nearby for access toward Atlanta. It's an uncommon combination of architectural character, main-level living, wooded surroundings and a location that keeps so much of the area within easy reach.
