Some of the most beautiful scenery in Buckhead can be found in the quiet, serene area of Whitewater Creek. Conveniently located just minutes to downtown Atlanta and tucked amidst dense forests, this intimate riverfront community provides access to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area’s thousands of acres of green space, one of the best amenities you could want.
Many of them known for large lots and long driveways, the homes in Whitewater Creek are perched behind gorgeous, wooded landscapes. The fabulous residence at 4197 Sentinel Post Road is no different. Sitting on over an acre of land, this lush, tree-lined corner lot off Mount Paran Road is ideally situated within steps to the park and some of the best hiking in the Southeast.
Fully remodeled from top to bottom, this all-brick, six-bedroom home features fresh paint inside and out, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood and tile floors, five fireplaces, two covered porches, a gorgeous newly renovated terrace level and a sparkling gunite pool. It is the ultimate entertainer’s paradise.
Tucked securely behind a brick and wrought-iron fence, this property offers total privacy. The winding drive leads to a four-car garage with a three-room carriage house above it, as well as a separate motor court offering plenty of additional parking. As you make your way to the front door, take in the old-world charm of this classic Williamsburg-style colonial.
Once inside the welcoming foyer, the home’s traditional style begins to give way to modern sophistication. On the left is a handsome fireside study/formal living room featuring a coffered ceiling and exquisite moldings. This bright room is flooded with natural light and provides the perfect place to cozy up by the fire with a good book or offers a quiet spot for your home office. On the other side of the foyer is a formal dining room. With seating for 12+, your dinner guests will be delighted by the beautiful molding and elegant crystal chandelier.
Beyond the dining room is the gourmet, eat-in kitchen, with an oversized island, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. This warm and inviting space is open to the large keeping room and truly is the heart of this amazing home. With continuous sightlines and flow from the kitchen, the keeping room features plenty of windows and access to one of the home’s expansive covered porches—a great space for gathering with guests.
The main floor has two guest rooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a double vanity and a tub/shower combo. One of the rooms has cedar closets, and the other boasts a wet bar and access to the covered porch.
Upstairs is a palatial owner’s suite with a sitting room, built-in bookshelves, cedar closets and a gas fireplace. Loaded with character, it provides the ideal escape to rest and recharge after a long day. Unwind in the luxurious en suite bathroom with a double vanity, a soaking tub and a separate all-glass shower. On the opposite side of the hall is a spacious secondary bedroom with a full bathroom that includes a double vanity, a freestanding clawfoot tub and a beautiful walk-in shower with a steam room that can be easily converted to a sauna.
Make your way to the fully renovated daylight terrace level of the home to find two distinct living areas, both offering their own HVAC, bedroom, family room, kitchen and bathroom. With new insulated ceilings, walls, wiring, circuits, appliances and more, this level is perfect for additional recreation and entertaining space, or with separate entrances and easy access to one of the two covered porches as well as the pool and parking just outside the doors, it could also be used for a guest suite. This level of the home provides endless options with flexible square footage that can be used in whatever manner best fits your lifestyle. Imagine the possibilities!
Step out into your backyard oasis and enjoy the views from one of the two covered porches or bask in the sun by the gunite pool. With its lush landscaping, you have complete privacy from all directions. Take the brick pathway from the rear of the home to the four-car garage and carriage house. It features a separate entrance and has a recently updated kitchen with new appliances, an open living/dining area, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry space and a private porch overlooking the backyard. It makes a great pool house or could be used as income property.
