Custom built by the owner, this Georgian-style estate home located at 840 Blake Court Lawrenceville, Georgia is a one-of-a-kind gem just northeast of Atlanta. Convenient to Downtown but far from the congestion of the city this home boasts an ideal suburban location.
Situated on the largest lot in the neighborhood, this house is also the largest home in the neighborhood with six bedrooms and five-and-one-half bathrooms. Entrance to the long driveway is flanked by landscaped, brick piers that match the brick used in the construction of the home. Continue down the drive to the two-car garage or take the front drive that cuts through the beautiful green lawn all the way around, passing by the grand front entrance of the home.
The large rocking chair porch is neatly framed by four two-story columns that guide visitors inside to the main foyer. Once inside, you will immediately notice that the larger than life architectural style continues. The formal dining hall and formal living room lie on either side of the foyer and prove to be exceptionally large spaces with new carpeting, chair rail and trey ceilings. Straight ahead gorgeous winding stairs merge the main and upper levels forming a unique asymmetrical floorplan that contrasts with the symmetry of the front façade.
Straight through the foyer, you will find the gourmet kitchen, introducing gleaming hardwood floors that flow into an informal dining space and laundry room. French doors let in natural light and offer access to the brick patio and charming gazebo that sits off to the side of the home. The kitchen is newly updated and features a stone tiled backsplash and exquisite granite countertops that cover an expansive island with cooktop and breakfast bar. Additional counter space lines the space with window-pane cabinet accents.
The family room reinstates carpeted floors and creates a warm and inviting area. Wood trim lines the windows and doors as well as the trey ceiling. Wood paneled chair rail matches the built-ins and emphasized mantel that frame the brick showing wall and fireplace, the focal point of the symmetrical room. Access the brick patio through French doors near the bar. This space is perfect for entertaining.
The main level also includes the master suite and one additional bedroom. The master bedroom is spacious, while the master bath leaves nothing to be desired. A vanity with beveled mirror leads into semi-private bath and shower. Here an elevated marble soaking tub sits beneath a beautiful stained glass window with partitioned separate shower.
The terrace level features a brick fireplace and brick showing wall identical to the floor plan in the family room one story up. The backyard offers a substantial plot of cleared lawn amid the towering trees that surround the property. A babbling brook runs through the yard, offering a bit of whimsy to the nature-scape. The perimeter of this 6,000+/- square foot home offers a perfect balance of professional landscaping and organic forest.
The future homeowner of this estate will be eager to show off all that this home has to offer. In the case of the home at 840 Blake Court in Lawrenceville, Georgia that is quite an undertaking.
