At well over 6,500+/- square feet, a tour of this home would reveal a fine articulation of substantial living that is translated via exquisite attention to detail.

Crossing the threshold of the front entrance, the focus is brought to the curved staircase and circular catwalk that embraces the two-story cylindrical foyer. Thick trim molding wraps around the corner caps of the walls forming powerful entry points to the spaces on either side of the foyer. On the left, a would-be traditional living room has plantation shutters.

Beams of sunlight slip through the cracks and reflect with brilliance off the hardwood floors. An elongated mantel detail rises from the fireplace to the ceiling to aggrandize the magnitude of the space. Across the symmetrical foyer at the opposite wall, an identical fireplace serves the same purpose for the dining room. In fact, the entry and window pattern of the dining room mimic that of the living room, down to the Juliet balcony suspended overhead.

The large family room sits beneath a coffered ceiling. Panoramic windows span the back wall and offer a view to the screened porch that hovers over the backyard. An elegant mantel frames a double-sided fireplace that occupies a partial wall between the living room and eat-in kitchen. Through the flames, a view to the room on the other side can be enjoyed. Columns delineate a path through the main level that lies perpendicular to and intersects the initial foyer hall.

Windows continue across the back of the home through the informal dining area that shares a fire with the family room. From this location, the open-air back deck is on display. The deck sets the stage to watch nature unfold among the treetops. This eating space is adjacent to the kitchen, which also accesses the formal dining room.

Moving into the kitchen, custom cabinets, granite countertops and ample space create a gourmet cooking space that any chef would love to spend time in. Across the foyer, an attractive home office or fireside study looks out to the street between rays of light that peak through the shutters. Built-ins cover the back wall, divided by a small-scale faux frame chair rail accent.

Also on the tour of the main level is the spacious screened porch with plenty of room to invite friends over for a relaxing visit.

When you look at this house from the street view, the dome you see is characteristic of this style of architecture. From the inside, this rotunda sits over the foyer and curvilinear stairs that lead to the second level. All of this makes for a beautiful aesthetic no matter what level you see it from. At the second level, however, where the landing meets the gallery, a second staircase takes you a few steps up to the “penthouse”—the master suite where a spacious master bedroom and gorgeous master bathroom await.

If this house is speaking to you, don’t waste any time. It won’t be long before curiosity gets the best of the passersby. Then it won’t be long before for someone makes the move into 3148 E. Addison Drive in Alpharetta, Georgia.
