3053 Terramar Drive

Some homes are maintained. This one has been reimagined - with craftsmanship, materials and detail most buyers only hope to find in a resale. Tucked into Habersham in unincorporated DeKalb County, 3053 Terramar Drive offers something increasingly rare: a true top-to-bottom renovation. What's new: roof, electrical, HVAC, kitchen, deck, workshop. The care is obvious. In 2020, Silver Oak Remodel transformed the main level into a 25'x32' (permitted) open-concept living space that feels like a custom build. Vaulted ceilings, spray foam insulation, new hardwood floors, and energy-efficient double-pane windows create a bright setting. Four-panel sliding glass doors open to the deck. The kitchen features granite countertops, a large island, new cabinetry, appliance pantry with granite coffee bar, GE Profile induction range, GE Chef Connect range hood vented outside, Bosch drawer microwave, and reverse osmosis water filtration. Custom black walnut woodwork adds warmth throughout, including the fireplace mantel, powder room vanity, and shelving in the laundry room and half bath. The renovated laundry room adds wall cabinets, a tower pantry, and built-in shelving. Below the main level, a remodeled ground-floor suite creates options for multi-generational living, guest retreat, or entertainment room. The daylight space includes a 30'x12' family room with beadboard accents, a full bedroom, full bath, ceramic tile, and a 6'x10' kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, island/bar, and cabinetry. A walkout door leads directly to the backyard, allowing independent living with no shared entry. Outside, the backyard works for the grower, entertainer, tinkerer, and dog lover - all at once. The brand-new 20'x20' deck connects to the main floor, while a firepit area with underground electrical service is wired for TV and lighting. An outdoor utility sink and separate concrete slab add practicality. The yard is a garden lover's dream, with perennial flower beds, two raised vegetable gardens, thornless blackberries, black raspberries, and blueberry bushes. The 10'x12' custom garden shed includes underground electricity, interior lighting, and flood lighting. The 12'x14' workshop, built in 2019, is the real standout: garage door, cement floor, work benches, 240-volt underground electrical service, lighting, and hardwired internet/coax to the main house. An attached shed and two woodsheds complete the setup. The fenced backyard includes a six-foot privacy fence and a secondary 12'x20' fenced area directly off the house - a smart detail for dog owners. The home's mechanical backbone is as strong as its finishes: CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle roof with 50-year warranty; York 16-SEER 4-ton A/C with 95% efficiency natural gas furnace under 10-year warranty; new 150-amp electrical panel to the house with new wiring, receptacles, and fixtures; new 50-gallon AO Smith natural gas water heater; encapsulated crawlspace with commercial-grade dehumidifier; whole-house attic exhaust fan; two floored, insulated attic spaces with pull-down ladders; and active Sentricon termite monitoring with damage-repair warranty. Smart features include a Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat, and Swann 9-camera NVR surveillance system, app-accessible with no fees or cloud costs. Habersham is the kind of neighborhood people do not leave: tree-lined, walkable, bikeable streets with no cut-through traffic, no HOA (Habersham is in name only), no additional "city" tax overlay, and optional Nottaway Swim Club membership with competitive swim team. Garbage, recycling, and yard waste pickup are included with county services. Terramar Drive is known for festive holiday decorations on holidays such as Christmas and Halloween. The location is outstanding, with easy access to I-285, I-85, GA-141, and GA-400, close to Stone Mountain, healthcare, and dining and retail corridors of Chamblee and Doraville.
