The exquisite riverfront property at 111 Royal Dornoch Drive is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in St. Ives Country Club, a gated community in the heart of Johns Creek. This fabulous home was custom-built by John Smoltz, legendary Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame pitcher, and was designed by world-renowned architect, Stephen Fuller.

USA Today recently rated Johns Creek as the fourth best place to live in the United States. The area has top-rated schools and golf courses.

In the foyer, a Schonbek crystal chandelier and an elegantly curved staircase welcome you into the extraordinary living space. No detail overlooked, custom finishes include beautiful inlay wood floors, crown molding and custom stained glass above the study. The handsome study is appointed with mahogany paneling, a coffered ceiling, built-in bookshelves, fireplace and a “hidden” workstation. Also off the foyer, find an elegant dining room with another Schonbek chandelier and an arched window overlooking the front gardens.

The open floor plan was carefully planned to take full advantage of the river views from multiple rooms – the crown jewel, of course, being the large palladium window in the spacious great room affording 20-foot ceilings and double French doors to the terrace.

Enjoy cooking in the designer chef’s kitchen with spectacular granite countertops, custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, such as a 60-inch built-in refrigerator, gas cooktop, farmhouse sink and a separate prep sink on the island. Spend your mornings in the breakfast room with a view of the pool! A butler’s pantry offers a pass through from the kitchen to the dining room and provides additional storage and display cabinets.

The cozy keeping room just off the kitchen features a gorgeous stone fireplace, beautiful stained wood ceiling and double French doors opening to the lanai, built to maximize the outdoor living experience. 100-year Ipe flooring, two 20-foot phantom screens with remote-control outdoor speakers and ambient lighting create a luxurious environment here for year-round entertaining.

Relax and unwind in the generously sized master suite featuring a trey ceiling and a sunny sitting area with doors to the terrace. The spa-like master bathroom features a vaulted ceiling with a skylight, an oversize jet tub, his and her vanities and beautiful leaded glass windows above the vanities and bathtub.

When you aren’t outside by the pool or enjoying the porch atmosphere, take it to the terrace level for easy-going entertainment. This sought-after space features a bar, billiard room, stone fireplace and custom cabinetry. The previous owner is leaving multiple pieces, including TVs, the billiards table, framed collector’s photographs from the Master’s Tournament, a massage table, treadmill, bicycle and rowing machine.

Golf enthusiasts rejoice! Also on the terrace level is an indoor putting green with a mural of “Amen Corner” at Augusta National Golf Club and an indoor driving range with a computer-measured laser swing guide, a screen for playing video courses around the world and more!

Upstairs are several secondary bedrooms, one of which has a custom MLB carpet, and a library with built-in bookshelves. Additional comfort for guests is found on the terrace level with a guest suite offering views of the river.

Outside, enjoy a lush putting green with sand traps and a gorgeous saltwater Pebble Tec pool with a waterfall feature, spa, color ambient lighting and an inviting pool house with a shower and full bathroom. Enjoy the tranquility of riverfront living and an abundance of luxurious custom upgrades and recreational features.
