Fall in love with the craftsmanship and timeless style of this seven-bedroom, eight- and one-half bathroom Buckhead masterpiece, set amidst manicured grounds at the end of a cul-de-sac street on nearly 2+/- private acres that border the Blue Heron Nature Preserve. Boasting a carriage house/au pair suite with a separate entrance, resort-inspired grounds, a terraced garden and a poolside oasis, it is a property built for celebrating life.
No expense was spared in the construction and finishes, which include 200-year-old beams from a Belgian lock, rare European lighting fixtures, hand-chiseled French limestone floors, François & Co. mantelpieces, Bevolo gas lanterns, French oak floors, custom iron windows and doors, antique fountains from Europe and more. At the end of a wide circular drive, the manor-like facades of the main and carriage house finished with stone and stucco and Spanish slate roofs, are elegantly simple and low-maintenance. Multiple custom iron French doors beautifully merge the indoor and outdoor space along the front porch, finished with a wood ceiling.
Enter to discover a symmetrical open floor plan designed perfectly for living and entertaining. French Provincial style is reflected in the soft lines, the texture-rich interior filled with wood, iron and stone accents, plaster walls and the serene colors that reflect the surrounding landscape. Immediately, a staircase with a custom iron railing and balustrades curves dramatically to the second level in the two-story foyer, featuring a multi-level chandelier and set off by hand-chiseled French limestone floors. A light-filled home office overlooking the front courtyard, featuring exposed beams and a balcony, is tucked to the side. To the right, the formal banquet-sized dining room featuring French oak floors and 18th-century chandeliers accommodates 12+ and connects to both the fireside great room and the kitchen.
Setting the bar for casual elegance, the spacious great room with a fireplace and two seating areas opens to a mirrored wet bar and the screened porch. Just beyond the wet bar is the chef’s kitchen, as functional as it is beautiful, featuring professional-grade appliances, custom Bell cabinets, marble countertops, a pewter-topped island, a custom François & Co. hood and an adjacent walk-in pantry and home manager’s office. The fireside breakfast area opens to the well-equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a grill, a gas range and prep area and views of the pool and backyard.
A tranquil retreat featuring a gorgeous cathedral wood ceiling with exposed beams, the main-level primary suite opens through French doors to a separate patio with seating around a fireside table and boasts a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins. The marble spa-inspired en suite bathroom features a soaking tub, a double shower with built-in seating and dual vanities. In addition, there is a secondary guest suite located on the main level with a bathroom offering pool access.
Accessed via staircases at opposite ends of the home, the second level features three additional en suite bedrooms, a living area with a built-in desk, a flex room and storage. The daylight terrace level offers room to expand while currently featuring a fireplace, a fully conditioned 1000-bottle wine room, a home gym with a full bathroom and a custom sauna with a Himalayan salt wall, a home theatre, yet another bedroom suite and more finished flex spaces.
Through an attached breezeway is the three-car garage, and located above is a spacious, light-filled au pair suite, complete with a living area, kitchen and en suite. Outdoors, the heated saltwater pool with an attached spa is surrounded by a beautiful stone deck, and around the side is a terraced garden with raised beds edged in stone. Magazine-worthy and crafted to last, this home is a place you will never want to leave.
