Exclusive opportunity to own one of Atlanta’s most beautiful homes. Designed by award-winning architect William T. Baker, this exquisite estate combines today’s architectural beauty and elegance with the timeless style and character of a traditional English manor house.
Set back from the road on three private resort-like acres, the grandeur of 3685 Paces Ferry Road begins to reveal itself just beyond the sweeping stonewalls as you approach the gated entrance. Once through the custom iron gate, a winding drive delivers a breathtaking view of this spectacular home and its surrounding lush landscape, leading you to a motor court and four-car garage.
As you stroll down the flagstone walk, you can’t help but admire the fine detailing and craftsmanship that makes this home truly unique. From the beautifully designed and landscaped front courtyard to the stonework surrounding the antique oak arched front door, every step toward the entrance welcomes guests in grand style.
Just inside the front door, an impressive two-story foyer greets you. Rich oak paneling and gleaming marble floors exude luxury and showcase the level of detail and quality design elements you’ll find throughout all three levels of the home.
Flanked by carved oak doorways, the foyer flows into a handsome office/library that boasts a coffered ceiling, hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, built-in bookshelves and a gorgeous leaded-glass bay window. It’s the perfect spot to set up shop, enjoy an after-dinner drink, or just curl up with a good book and a hot cup of tea.
On the opposite side of the foyer is a large formal dining room that seats 12+. Tall windows afford a beautiful view of the front lawn, while rich moldings, hardwood floors and a fireplace provide the perfect backdrop for an elegant and inviting entertaining experience.
At the heart of the home is a large, open kitchen with professional-grade appliances and high-end finishes. Two large islands anchor the space, providing casual seating and plenty of room for food prep. The creamy white custom cabinets and Calacatta marble countertops contrast beautifully with the warmth of the hardwood floors and wood ceiling beams, creating a space where your inner chef (or personal chef) is sure to shine. A well-equipped butler and separate walk-in pantry provide exceptional storage and offer the flexibility needed to entertain effortlessly.
Open to the kitchen is a light-filled breakfast room and large, comfortable family room featuring a spectacular cathedral beamed ceiling, stone fireplace, and custom built-ins. With direct access to the kitchen and the bright, airy sunroom beyond, these rooms provide a casually elegant space for informal meals, smaller gatherings or just kicking your feet up with a cup of coffee and relaxing.
Around the corner from the family room is one of the most unique spaces within the home, a magnificent glass conservatory imported from England. Blending seamlessly with the style and décor of the rest the house, the conservatory brings the beauty of the property’s natural surroundings into the home and provides direct access to the rear gardens. Complete with a stone fireplace, this space is ready for you to enjoy the outside – from the inside.
Rounding out the main level is an expansive owner’s suite featuring hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, a fireplace and built-in niches. A separate light-filled sitting area with a vaulted ceiling offers a quiet space to unwind and allows for direct access to the patio and pool. A large bathroom with separate vanities and an incredible walk-in closet complete this luxurious retreat.
Ascend the beautiful wide oak staircase to the second level, or take the elevator – accessible to all three floors. Here you will find four additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom and a separate bonus area that can be used as a playroom, study lounge or upstairs sitting room.
In keeping with the style and design quality of the rest of the home, the terrace level is an entertainer’s dream. It features a large recreation and billiard area with a stone fireplace and full bar, the perfect spot for some friendly competition. There is also a gorgeous custom-built wine cellar, a large home gym, a sauna and an Oscar-worthy home theater. With amenities like these, you’ll never want to leave.
The grounds of the property are as equally distinguished as the home itself. Designed by the famed landscape architect John Howard, you’ll marvel at the lush gardens, sparkling pool and hot tub, fabulous open-air summerhouse and separate play area. Every square inch of the grounds has been meticulously designed to showcase the natural beauty of this outstanding estate.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind property that is virtually unmatched in beauty and craftsmanship, just minutes to Buckhead, local public and private schools and some of the best shopping and restaurants Atlanta has to offer. Don’t miss this opportunity – call the agent for a private tour today.
