They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but at 4947 Banister Place, what you see on the outside – a well maintained, three-sides brick home with three garages – sets the expectation of what is to come with a visit inside. You will be drawn to its close-in East Cobb location, swim/tennis community lifestyle and often acclaimed school district which includes Mt. Bethel Elementary School, Dickerson Middle School and Walton High School.
An impressive leaded glass door sets the tone for the home. The two-story entry, flanked by a handsome, paneled study, opens to a large, vaulted living room.
The rich hardwood flooring, leaded glass panels and fine craftsmanship continue through to the spacious dining room. The oak cabinets are perfectly matched with the designer-selected stone counters and custom tile backsplash that accents the stainless steel appliances. The size of the island perfectly accommodates kitchen storage, as well as casual dining. You will also love the buffet serving counter, the pantry cabinets, planning desk and bayed breakfast area.
The great room is just that – great! Triple-arched windows plus two more windows that are incorporated into the wall-to-wall cabinetry, make it the perfect place to display your treasures. Hidden away to the left of the fireplace is a refreshment bar, conveniently accessed by lifting the hinged door.
Upstairs, all the bedrooms are large with spacious closets and direct bathroom access. The sumptuous master suite has a fireside sitting room, separate bed chamber, his and her walk-in closets and spa bath.
The terrace level of this masterpiece home is almost a home within a home. You can make it just about anything that interests you. Love movies? There is a media room equipped with projector and screen. Love to sweat? The recreation room has a wall of mirrors, perfect for fitness. Whether you prefer to circuit train or dance, this space is flexible. Love to host? The full sized guest suite with full bathroom is perfect for the occasional visitor.
Gentle weather days will be delightfully spent on the screened porch with a tongue-and-groove ceiling and views of the private backyard which is the perfect dreamscape. Dine on the stone patio and enjoy the sounds of water flowing in the Koi pond. A play set will remain with the home.
Located in Camden Place, one of East Cobb’s finest neighborhoods, you will have access to lighted tennis courts, a junior Olympic-size pool and a fully furnished clubhouse. ALTA and swim teams could be in your future.
