Completely rebuilt in 2020, this home rejects cookie-cutter trends in favor of thoughtful design and craftsmanship. Enter through a warm and welcoming well-lit living room with high ceilings, exposed brick and contemporary hanging rattan (wicker) light fixtures. The floating staircase creates a sculptural centerpiece however the focal point centers around the massive galley style kitchen, adorned with reclaimed wood floating shelves, brick, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. Past the kitchen sits a chic first floor powder room, opposite a sleek mudroom nook. Past the bathroom is a quaint, private patio with total privacy. The second floor offers a large primary and 2 medium sized rooms, plus full hall bath with soaking tub and modern vanity. Descend down to the lower level to a finished basement, offering the opportunity to create a media room, home gym or versatile flex space. Located just one block from Vare Recreation Center and two blocks from Lanier Dog Park, with neighborhood favorites like Korea Taqueria and Day Break Eggs just a short walk away. 1608 S Lecount welcomes anyone seeking originality and quality without breaking the bank.
