This executive estate is nestled on approximately 11.15+/- acres of private, wooded beauty.
Exquisite features of this truly unique home begin at the front entrance, with a curved staircase created from hand-cut stone, fitted on-site by master craftsmen. A custom mahogany entry is outfitted with the flickering glow of natural gas lighting, and the foyer impresses with more beautiful mahogany details, a handcrafted chandelier and soaring ceilings.
The 10-foot ceilings on the main and terrace levels are punctuated by vaults of between 16 to 20 feet, with 10-inch crown moldings and baseboards.
The home is outfitted with four fireplaces; two are masonry with surrounds by renowned Francois & Co of Buckhead, and the other two feature gas logs for the ultimate in convenience.
The kitchen is equipped with a 48-inch double oven gas range, a separate full-size refrigerator and freezer, a wine cooler, an ice maker, stone countertops and the hand-carved walnut cabinets were inspired by an antique European piece in the owners’ collection.
The home includes five bedrooms with five full bathrooms (all bedrooms are en suite), two half bathrooms, two laundry areas, two kitchen areas and five attached garages. The spacious keeping room, dining room and great room all feature cathedral ceilings and special architectural accents.
The two-level library is reminiscent of the library at the Biltmore House, with the upper level serviced by a spiral staircase. A desk area, wet bar with wine fridge and fireplace finish out the lovely space.
An elevator provides easy access to the terrace level, along with a beautiful, curved staircase, and that is where the magic really begins! The lower level transports you to the streets of Paris with a functional wine-tasting room, including space for cask and bottle storage then travel by Martha’s Vineyard and end at a scenic streetside cafe.
This whimsical streetscape is the owners’ way of incorporating fun through the use of decor, and it serves as the central hall for the two terrace-level bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, as well as the craft room with gift wrapping station.
The bricked barrel-ceiling hallway leads to another surprise: a fully functioning ice cream shop! This space could also be converted into a standard second kitchen and is also wired and plumbed for a lower-level laundry addition, should that be desired.
The adjacent office area is decorated with a General Store motif; however, once the decor is removed, this room could function however needed. The terrace level could easily be used as an in-law residence and is serviced by both the elevator and a step-less exterior entry.
Two lower garage areas provide room to park multiple vehicles in the 30’x40′ garage space, with an additional 8’x40′ storage room. A workshop is a woodworker’s paradise, or you can easily convert the space into a media room with an adjacent game or bonus room. There are so many options!
The estate grounds feature a gated entry, a koi pond with a fountain, multiple garden areas, an exquisite courtyard space and an outdoor pavilion perfect as a grilling space or outdoor kitchen. There is plenty of room for a pool, water and electric connections that are already in place. Enjoy an additional parking area for an RV, a boat or trailer storage. There is also an opportunity to purchase an additional 10 adjacent acres to equal an impressive 21.16+/- acre estate, perfect for hunting, hiking, gardening or even creating your own golf or skeet range or putting in a tennis or pickleball court!
With the added acreage, the property would also be well suited for an equestrian estate, with level grassy areas and pasture, wooded areas for shade, utility connections and a spring-fed pond and creek.
The home and grounds would also make a stunning special event or wedding venue. Only two miles to I-20, this special property is convenient to Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and is minutes to the new Lionsgate Film Studios.
