It is hard to imagine a more warm, inviting home than this hilltop gem in the Paces neighborhood. The forested 2.7 acre lot creates a secluded oasis for your family. This spectacular private lot is located at the “end” of West Wesley, one of the most serene locations in all of Buckhead. This sale includes ownership in the 13-acre riverfront nature preserve across the street, yet it is only minutes from the premier private schools and the best that Buckhead, and Vinings have to offer!
The handsome facade is stone and hardcoat stucco. Arched windows and doors combine with the cedar shingle roof to complete the inviting curb appeal.
The backyard includes a level lawn and several outdoor living spaces, including seating areas and gardens. A private patio for the primary suite and an enormous screened living and dining area make the home a perfect blend of indoor/outdoor living.
Main Level
Details and craftsmanship are found throughout the home. The arched front door leads into the entry foyer, with a study of unique Pecky Cypress paneling on your right. This cozy room includes a wet bar and French doors to the front yard.
The great room features a dramatic vaulted wood ceiling and the first of five fireplaces in the home. From here, you can easily access the formal dining room, the screened porch, or the primary bedroom wing.
The chef’s kitchen features custom white cabinets, black stone counter tops, and stainless steel Dacor appliances. Other highlights include a massive central island, a generous walk-in pantry, and a breakfast area. A beautiful stone 2-sided fireplace has a Scandanavian brick firebox for excellent heat distribution in the kitchen and adjacent keeping room.
The keeping room is a comfy living space that flows easily onto the screened porch in warmer weather. You will surely enjoy this indoor-outdoor space long into the fall with a fire going in the keeping room and the fireplace on the screened porch. The porch includes a generous living area and room for a large dining table.
A mudroom with built-in storage will keep things tidy on the way to-or-from the 3-car garage. A convenient home management office and the primary laundry room complete the service areas of the main floor on the way to the back staircase.
Primary Bedroom
The primary bedroom suite occupies a third of the main level. The large bedroom has access to a private patio and a cozy fireside sitting area. The primary bath includes his and hers walk-in closets, and two separate vanities and water closets on either side of a central double shower.
Upper level
At the top of the main staircase, you will find a billiard room and a home theater. There are generous closets and storage throughout the home, including large closets and built-in shelving.
The first of four upstairs bedrooms is next to the billiard room. This suite was originally the primary suite. It includes a large bedroom with built-in storage, a large ensuite bath, and one of the largest closets in the house.
Down the hall are two bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a handy upstairs laundry room.
The upper level of the garage wing features a large bonus/ family room at the top of the back staircase. Highlights of this space include a home office with forest views and built-in book cases.
The fourth bedroom is a bright corner room with a full ensuite bath.
Chattahoochee River Access
Just across the quiet street is your own private 13-acre nature preserve with walking trails and a gazebo that overlooks the Chattahoochee River. This preserve is jointly owned with 20 other neighbors, and annual dues are less than $400 per year! The 13 acre parcel allows members to walk their dogs, fish, kayak, or simply enjoy the private gazebo. The polo fields are just across the river, and residents can watch the matches from the comfort of their private retreat.
Paces Neighborhood
Driving down many streets in the Paces neighborhood, it would be easy to imagine yourself in the hills of North Georgia. The neighborhood has rolling topography, dense forest, and secluded properties. Then, you crest a hill and see the entire Atlanta skyline peeking above the tree line, a reminder that you are a few minutes from just about anywhere in Buckhead, Midtown, or Downtown! This embodies what Buckhead is really about, a wonderful quality of life combined with the conveniences of a modern city at your doorstep … or front gate.
