Located at 8650 Ellard Drive in Alpharetta, Georgia, this all brick home features a colonial-federal style with stacked balconies over the main entry. Edging the perimeter of this home is a collection of well-maintained vegetative growth and shrubbery. The vibrant green lawn spreads smoothly and evenly around the yard. A short wall sits between the grass and the sidewalk that lines the attractive street. Many Atlanta residents have relocated to Alpharetta due to the overall community, respect and beauty this suburban city provides.
When you reach the front porch, you might notice the gorgeous stained glass door outlined by decorative transom and sidelights. Lined with shining hardwood floors, the foyer pathway lies on a straight line that runs directly to the back of the house with the main living spaces situated along this main drag.
A handsome staircase sits at the back of the hall. Off the foyer, a family room has a spacious air with high coffered ceilings and broad windows with half-circle window tops featuring keystone trim accent. An attractive brick fireplace edged in thick trim molding is placed between built-in shelves and warms the space. A breakfast bar looks into the kitchen via a vast cut out pass-through.
A dining hall features two panels of windows across the outer walls, all with attractive plantation shutters, a chair rail with faux frame accent and a complementing embellishment lining the ceiling. The entrance opening is wrapped with decorative trimwork, as well.
The open kitchen features a sophisticated look that is created by dark cabinets wrapping around the walls, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. Granite counters and tile around the backsplash further add to the classy aesthetic of this spacious room. Recessed lighting works well here to highlight the features and provide comfortable and even lighting across the room.
What makes this home particularly special are the views that span through the floor plan. From either end of the house, the overall beauty can be encountered and enjoyed. Standing in the foyer beneath a moon-like fixture that sits within a deep ceiling, the detailed trim and columns create perspective and inspiration within the house, as well as within the world.
The master bedroom is located on the upper level. The profound coffered ceiling makes for an elegant sanctuary with a full three-panel picture window to add to the relaxing vibe. The master suite includes a sitting room with attractive built-ins allowing more space to recharge. The master bath is equally as refined with a vanity spanning the length of one side, complete with full beveled mirrors, dual sinks and a vanity seat in the middle. Across the room a soaking tub with picture window, enclosed separate shower with glass panels and walk-in closet are part of the story. A brilliant central lighting fixture provides even light throughout the room and a classy touch to this already well-articulated space.
Other bedrooms feature such distinguishing attributes as trey ceiling detail, balcony access and private bathrooms. The recessed foyer ceiling creates a nice aesthetic from any angle, whether from the main level or from the above catwalk. Finally, a finished terrace level adds more square footage and opens to a terrace level patio. Outside, plenty of shade and green grass lay the foundation for fun-filled days playing, planting, exploring, relaxing and enjoying life.
