Description

This gated,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 ten-foot ceilings on the main & terrace levels are punctuated by vaults of between sixteen to twenty feet, with substantial crown moldings & trim. The home is outfitted with four fireplaces, two are masonry with surrounds by renowned Francois & Co of Buckhead, the other two feature gas logs for the ultimate in convenience. The kitchen is equipped with a 48-inch double oven gas range, separate full-size refrigerator & freezer, wine cooler & 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 baths (all bedrooms are en-suite), two half baths, two laundry areas, two kitchen areas, & 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 & 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 baths, 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 home would also be perfect for multi-generational living, as the terrace level could easily be used as an in-law residence and is serviced by both the elevator and a stepless 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 wood-worker's paradise, or easily convert the space into a media room with adjacent game or bonus room. So many options! The estate grounds feature a gated entry, a koi pond with fountain, multiple garden areas, an exquisite courtyard space, and an outdoor pavilion perfect as a grilling space or outdoor kitchen. With plenty of room for a pool, water and electric connections are already in place. Additional parking area for RV, 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 to hunt, hike, garden, or even create your own golf or skeet range, or put 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 events or wedding venue. Only two miles from I-20, this special property is convenient to Atlanta, Hartsfield Jackson airport, and minutes to the new Lionsgate Film Studios. Shown by appointment only.
