Introducing 4395 Mount Paran Parkway NW just inside the Atlanta city limit at the northern border with Sandy Springs. The gorgeous 1 acre lot sits slightly above street level with 200 feet of frontage. Mount Paran Parkway is not the busy thoroughfare of Mount Paran Road, but rather a quiet, residential dead-end street about halfway between The Country Store at Northside Drive and Garmon Road. Chastain Park is one mile to the east and The Chattahoochee River is 1.5 miles to the west. I-75 and I-285 are easily accessible, yet all the shopping and dining options in Buckhead, Vinings and Sandy Springs are close by without having to get on the interstate. This home is zoned for North Atlanta High, Sutton Middle and Warren T. Jackson Elementary School. The award-winning Jackson main campus for 2nd to 5th graders is less than 1/3 of a mile away and accessible on foot by the back school gate on Coronado Drive. The beautiful campus sits on a 12-acre nature preserve certified by the National Wildlife Federation. Many popular private schools are also in the immediate area. The four bedroom traditional brick residence was built in 1965 and has been thoughtfully updated thru the years. The stately two story home has a perfectly flat, walk-out backyard with an enormous covered veranda and bluestone patio. It is a perfect spot for a pool, but unfortunately a previous owner filled in the one that used to be here. The detached former pool house/carriage house remains and is a great art studio, playroom or workshop. There is also a new 12 x 26 insulated “barn” where the Seller stores his collection of motorcycles. Both the carriage house and barn have power, but no plumbing. The main house is perfect for entertaining and easy living with an open floorplan, neutral color palette and lovely hardwood floors. The beautiful kitchen is the place where everyone gathers. It has painted custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, a huge center island with travertine top. The adjacent breakfast room has tons of natural light and French doors that open to the covered patio. The keeping room or den leads to the incredible family room with beamed ceiling, tounge and groove wall panels and a stacked stone fireplace. All four bedrooms are upstairs. The primary has a walk in closet, sitting room and en-suite marble bath with jetted tub and separate glass shower. Three additional bedrooms share the updated hall bath. This home is built in a way that makes adding-on easy. A new main floor primary bedroom addition would make this into a forever home to age in place or could allow for multi-generation living. Seller will share two different architect plans for expansion. The new roof was put on 3 years ago. One HVAC system was recently replaced and the other is just a few yeas old. The sewer line is clear from the house to the street with one section that had to be replaced, and 2 new relief valves were installed. There is a separate irrigation meter so you won’t have to pay sewer charges on water used on the lawn or to fill any future pool, spa or water feature that you can dream up!
