A Private Sanctuary — Completely Renovated
Take a full walkthrough of the property — every room, every view, every detail.
Set on 1.5 private acres along a quiet cul-de-sac, this completely renovated 5,927-square-foot home was designed around one simple idea: the boundary between inside and out shouldn't exist. Brand new French doors greet you at the entry, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the water like living art, and double French doors in back swing open to meet it. Every room, every sightline, every morning — oriented toward the pond.
The kitchen is where people gather. White soft-close cabinets, a massive marble island, and the kind of light that makes you want to linger — whether you're enjoying a quiet morning alone or hosting a house full of friends and family. Three bedrooms sit on the main level, including the primary suite, making stairs completely optional for effortless daily living. The updated primary bath delivers a full spa experience: soaking tub, rain shower, and stillness.
Step through the French doors onto the large back patio — an effortless extension of the living space, equally suited for watching the game, hosting dinner under the open sky, or entertaining guests.
Upstairs, a newly finished 840-sq ft suite with floor-to-ceiling water views flexes to fit your life — second primary, private office, or creative studio. Downstairs, the finished basement features French doors that walk out directly to the side patio, yard, and pond. This space holds a dedicated movie room, home gym, large rec space or living room, a fifth bedroom, and a full bath. It's the kind of setup that makes every corner of the home feel lived in and purposeful.
Fresh Zoysia grass, a new sprinkler system, and a fenced backyard with raised garden beds overflowing with blueberries, blackberries, tomatoes, and wildflowers. A sweeping side yard with a natural dry riverbed winds through it — the kind of space that invites you to slow down, wander, and breathe. Brick staircases descend gently from the gardens and backyard, leading you down to the water's edge where a new dock sits ready for a quiet morning of fishing or launching a kayak. There's room here for pets, campfires, and endless possibility.
Two new Daikin HVAC units. New septic tank with an additional overflow tank and new lines. New driveways, walkways, and patios. A detached garage with plenty of cabinetry and attic storage. The heavy lifting is behind you.
Smoke Rise property — part of the incorporated City of Tucker. Stone Mountain Park is five minutes away. Decatur or Brookhaven: 20. Midtown Atlanta: 25. Quick access to I-20, the Tucker PATH trail, Smoke Rise Country Club, and Mountain Park Aquatic Center. Easy interstate-free access to multiple hospitals. It feels like a world away. The drive says otherwise.
This is the rare home that gives you both — the stillness of a private sanctuary and the ease of the city, whenever you want it.

Smoke Rise is one of those communities that those who live there quietly cherish — and rarely talk about. An incorporated enclave within the City of Tucker, it sits just east of Atlanta with all the benefits of proximity and none of the compromise.
Long home to Nobel Peace Prize recipients, top professionals, celebrated athletes, and renowned musicians, it carries a quiet prestige that its residents tend to keep to themselves. It's the kind of neighborhood you discover and never want to leave.

Smoke Rise Elementary is the newest school in the entire Tucker Cluster — a brand new state-of-the-art facility built in 2021, located right at the entrance to the Smoke Rise community along Hugh Howell Road. It is one of the most modern elementary school buildings in all of DeKalb County.
The new building more than doubled student capacity — growing from 400 to over 900 Pre-K through 5th grade students — while maintaining the tight-knit family culture that has defined Smoke Rise Elementary for generations. The school offers music, art, technology, gifted programs, and high achievers programming.
Students then move on to Tucker Middle School and the newly rebuilt Tucker High School — a comprehensive pipeline from kindergarten through graduation, all within minutes of home.
