French Louisiana federal-style estate created by a Deane Johnson/Bill Harrison collaboration with interior elevations by John Oetgen. This 2.4 acre on a hard-to-find flat lot in Sandy Springs (inside the Perimeter) is replete with majesty and elegance.
Enter through the grandeur of iron gates protecting a perfectly manicured plot of approximately 40,000 square feet of drought and fungus free Zoysia sod. 1500 square feet of limestone porches and hand-selected aged Georgia granite exterior accents await the discriminating eye. A Spanish slate roof with copper flashings, lightning-proof home design modeled after European copper perimeter system and Mahogany exterior doors will not escape your attention.
Step inside to a true replica of the Thomas Jefferson Arch that embellishes the spacious foyer with period staircase. Don’t feel like walking? Guests can take the elevator to one of 4 upstairs bedrooms complete with full baths. Your Master bedroom awaits you with pyramid vaulted ceiling with segmental barrel arch and sitting room for reflection. Italian Calcutta marble in master bath calls to you with heated floor, double vanity and separate tub and shower.
