In the northwest corner of Atlanta sits Chastain Park, one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The community’s namesake is Atlanta’s largest park, a 268+/- acre oasis offering everything from trails and playgrounds to a swimming pool and playing fields. It is also home to the North Fulton Golf Course, Chastain Horse Park and Cadence Bank Amphitheater.
Just minutes to the park and all its amenities is 5250 Long Island Drive. Built by Dar-Court Builders in 2009, this gorgeous European Country-style home was updated from top to bottom in 2019 with a keen eye for detail and the highest level of craftsmanship. As you approach the front entrance, take in the well-manicured lawn and lush landscaping that accents the home’s lovely brick and stone exterior. A charming covered porch graciously welcomes you and provides a comfortable spot to enjoy the splendor of this gorgeous 1.27+/- acre lot.
Enter through the front door and into the open and inviting foyer. Featuring beautiful custom-stained, hand-pegged oak floors that run throughout the entire main level, the home’s quality finishes and custom design elements are on immediate display. The open-concept dining room sits just to the left of the foyer. Its large windows stream in natural light and provide lovely views of the front yard. With room to accommodate 8+ and a convenient butler’s pantry with a wine fridge just around the corner, hosting dinner parties is a breeze.
To the right of the foyer, tucked privately into the front of the home, is a handsome den. Featuring hand-crafted millwork paneling, a fireplace, built-ins and a spectacular bay window, it is the perfect spot to set up your home office or grab some quiet time and relax with a good book. Head toward the back of the home and into the open living room. Anchored by a marble fireplace and topped off with a coffered ceiling, this elegant space can handle all your entertaining needs, from small to large.
The heart of this fantastic home is the gourmet kitchen, breakfast area and family room. A chef’s dream, the gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a Wolf double oven, a six-burner gas stove, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, double dishwashers and a large center island. Custom cabinets and stone countertops provide plenty of storage and prep space, and the light-filled breakfast area is perfect for casual dining. A breakfast bar provides additional seating and connection to the family room. Featuring an incredible vaulted ceiling highlighted by wood-stained beams and a cozy stone fireplace, this comfortable room is ideal for gathering with guests or watching your favorite TV show. Double doors in the breakfast room open to a spectacular screened porch with a beadboard ceiling, tile floors and a large brick fireplace. This outdoor space extends your living area and provides a wonderful spot to entertain while enjoying Atlanta’s fabulous weather.
The expansive owner’s suite is conveniently situated on the main level. A large panel of rear windows lets in lots of natural light and a French door provides direct access to the screened porch. Pamper yourself in the spa-inspired en suite bathroom, complete with a double vanity, a soaking tub, a glass shower and heated floors. There are also dual custom closets offering loads of storage. The remainder of the main level includes two powder rooms and a custom-organized mudroom that offers easy access to the side entrance, the driveway and a three-car garage.
Upstairs on the second level are four spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, one of which is currently being used as an executive-sized office but offers the flexibility to use as you see fit. It would make a great playroom, a guest room or a hobby room.
If you need more room to spread out, head down to the daylight terrace level. An entertainer’s paradise, the space opens to a walkout backyard with a lovely covered patio and features the same high-end finishes as the main areas of the house. Featuring a full bathroom, plenty of finished living space, a conditioned wine cellar and a climate-controlled four-car garage with sufficient-height ceilings for additional lifts, this home has it all. There is even a hidden driveway system that provides access to the terrace-level garage and an abundance of parking for guests.
You won’t want to miss the opportunity to make this picturesque property your next home. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and impeccable grounds, the private setting offers peace and serenity while conveniently located just minutes to downtown Atlanta and some of the best shopping, dining, schools and recreation the city has to offer.
