Four stately columns mark the entrance to 11706 Mountain Park Road in Roswell, Georgia. The classic Greek Revival-style architecture of this home is striking and impressive at first glance as it begins a virtual impression on your aesthetic sensibilities. Complete with Doric columns, dentil molding and just shy of 9,000+/- square feet, the home and surrounding 3.5 +/- acres are the very definition of an elegant southern estate home.
The formal entry foyer first displays the reclaimed hardwood floors, which distinguish the main level. Elegant moldings embellish the pocket doors to both the left and right, which lead to the conservatory and formal living room, respectively. Directly ahead an arched transition marks–the entrance to the heart of the home.
The living room features a slate-adorned brick fireplace in a large and classically milled white mantel. An additional set of pocket doors leads from here into the dining room, which features an identical fireplace, an elegant wainscot chair rail and custom built-ins. The dining room is separated from the kitchen by a butler’s pantry.
The conservatory features a brick fireplace with classic enamel embellishment and custom built-ins. French doors lead from here into the master suite. The master suite contains a marble fireplace and a brilliantly articulated master bathroom with large, marble countered and mirrored vanities and classically designed custom cabinetry.
The spacious, gourmet eat-in kitchen displays exposed ceiling beams above rustic, custom cabinets. The cabinets and large central island have travertine countertops, and the kitchen also features a breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances. The casual dining area displays yet another brick fireplace. Behind the dining area sits a comfortable den, detailed by exposed beams and you guessed it, a brick fireplace.
There are four additional bedrooms upstairs and one on the terrace level, each with their own fireplaces. The terrace level also provides copious relaxation and recreation areas, including a fireside den, a billiard room with a bar and a fitness studio. Above the detached three-car garage one will find guest quarters, as well as a home office.
The beautiful grounds of this eight-bedroom property are reminiscent of every vision one would have of a classic, southern antebellum home. Though this home was built near the end of the last century, it fits perfectly into the architectural motif of the Historic Roswell homes nearby. Mature hardwoods and foliage beautify every inch of the many acres of this property. The wooded grounds and rear pool and patio area can be enjoyed from either a screened porch, an adjoining veranda or the covered patios– accessed from both the terrace level of the home and the poolside clubhouse, which is a part of the garage and guest quarters.
This magnificent home exudes both character and quality. Its Roswell location, merely minutes from the square, lends an air of aristocratic sophistication, which is a rare find indeed. This home recalls an earlier age. Come experience for yourself the refinement and gentility which defines the estate residence at 11706 Mountain Park Road in Roswell, Georgia.
