The home located at 6285 Riverwood Drive in Atlanta sits in along the path between Atlanta and the nearby suburban enclaves of East Cobb and Vinings. This Sandy Springs area is renowned for its lavish homes and eclectic mix of refined styles. Built in 1970, this expansive house retains all the charm of the architecture of yesteryear, all the while presenting the utmost level of elegance and sophistication.
The traditionally modest façade creates a picture-perfect perspective of the quintessential 20th-century Atlanta home. The rolling green front lawn and arched porticos that are repeated across the front porch create an inviting feel as you walk up to the doorstep. Crossing the threshold, you immediately notice that there is something special about this home.
Traditional is no longer in the description, outside of the floor plan that places the dining room to one side of the foyer, and the living room to the other. The main staircase peaks out at you, but it’s the bright, open kitchen that draws you further in. As you walk across the tiled foyer, huge windows in the front of the house send sunlight bouncing off the hardwood floors in all directions. A uniform chair rail runs throughout the main level, subtly unifying the spaces.
Once you reach the kitchen, you realize the full prominence of this space. Impeccable character and charm exude from every square inch as it becomes the focal point of the home. The perfect balance is set forth between natural-colored tile, gorgeous custom cabinets, granite countertops and a whitewashed wainscot ceiling crossed with dark-stained crown molding. A large central island maintains room for a breakfast bar, sink, wine storage and cookbook shelf, while the stove is encased by an exquisite wooden mantel and decorative backsplash where functional space doubles as art.
A partial brick-showing wall separates the kitchen and spacious informal dining space that blends into the family room. Here the mood is toned down quite a bit and understandably so. Relaxation sets in.
The master suite is located on the main level in this home and offers dual bathrooms and dual walk-in closets. Every bathroom in this home has its own personality, each as opulent as the next with exotic textures and a unique variety of fixtures. A guest suite is also located on the main level, but on the opposite side of the house for privacy allowance.
Upstairs two additional bedrooms are found, both with full private bathrooms. Other spaces inside this home include a three-car garage and a partially finished basement that includes a family room and full bathroom, as well as abundant room for storage.
An intimate patio sits just outside the kitchen window allowing for an outdoor area that can be separated from the more expansive parts of the backyard. The fenced backyard affords plenty of space, in addition to the swimming pool that with safety fence. This yard offers a unified balance of green lawn, natural areas and fabricated surfaces.
Located just outside of the Perimeter, this elite sector of Sandy Springs has survived many decades of suburban growth, is only five miles from Perimeter Mall and 10 miles from Lenox Mall in Buckhead. It’s not hard to see why Sandy Springs has a long-standing history for attracting Atlantans who find it worth the price to live lavishly on the outskirts of the city. A unique lifestyle awaits the residents who are fortunate enough to call 6285 Riverwood Drive in Sandy Springs home.
