About 3040 Dunn Street Se
You don't just walk into 3040 Dunn Street SE - you arrive. And somehow, it already feels like it knows you. There's something about a true Craftsman - the way it holds onto history without clinging too tightly. Built in 1925 and updated with intention, this Forest Hills home gets it right: character where it counts, modern where it matters. The front porch is deep enough to live on, with a porch swing already in place and a stained-glass window that catches golden-hour light like it's showing off. Landscaping wraps around the house like a tailored suit - lush, layered, and lovingly maintained, with a fenced backyard, custom hardscaping, and just enough privacy to feel like a secret. Inside, original hardwoods, detailed trim, and crown molding ground the home in its past. But nothing feels stuck. The layout flows. The updates breathe. The living room's built-ins nod to another era, while the dining room is equally suited for birthday dinners or Tuesday takeout. And then, the kitchen - a space that feels lived-in, not showroom-perfect. Concrete countertops. Wood-beamed ceilings. A stacked-stone range hood, custom cabinetry, and appliances that know how to work. There's a wine cooler, too, and a keeping room that softens the edge of every day. The primary suite is on the main level, anchored by a two-sided fireplace that connects the bedroom and sitting room - one of those rare design moments that feels both functional and poetic. The bath offers dual vanities, a whirlpool tub, a separate glass shower, and an actual makeup station, because sometimes the little things make the biggest difference. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings create space to breathe. The family room has its own rhythm. Bedrooms are generously sized, and one has a private screened-in porch - because why not? Out back, there's more. A detached two-car garage. A covered brick patio perfect for quiet mornings or long evenings. And a fully detached guest house - complete with its own kitchen, living and dining rooms, oversized bedroom, updated bath, built-ins, hardwoods, and a private greenhouse. Whether it's used for guests, income, or inspiration, it's a rare and ready bonus. All of this sits in Forest Hills, one of Smyrna's most beloved neighborhoods - walkable to downtown, surrounded by mature trees and familiar faces. With a brand new roof and zero corners cut, this home was clearly loved. Now it's just waiting for someone who gets it.
