2817 Tanner Lake Tr., Marietta, GA 30064

Exquisitely designed home with award winning garden, tucked away in convenient W Cobb neighborhood. This custom built home sits on almost an a full acre of beautifully conceived gardens that have been featured in Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens. Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, and multiple other publications. The home's well thought out floor plan provides plenty of space for daily living as well as entertaining and the high end finishes give it a feeling of elegance. The main floor boasts hickory hardwood floors, solid wood interior doors, cathedral ceilings with tongue & groove pine millwork, wood beams, plantation shutters and custom cabinetry. The chef's kitchen features a 6 burner + griddle Wolf range with pot filler and custom vent hood, Miela dishwasher, Subzero refrigerator, Shaw farmhouse sink, and huge island of "Superwhite" granite. The adjacent keeping room is just the right size to accommodate both a breakfast table and a sitting area with a stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows with garden views. Adjacent to the keeping room is a large living room with cathedral ceilings and a marble fireplace with windows looking into the sunroom. The sunroom offers a wall of windows that brings the garden inside and opens to the grilling deck. Also on the main floor are the formal dining room with a cathedral ceiling, an Italian chandelier and a ladies' sitting room/parlor that would make a great office. The primary bedroom suite, also on the main floor, has a massive custom closet with a large island and a bathroom with separate sinks, a huge shower, and a bidet. The hickory flooring extends up the stairs and into the upstairs hallway, where built in cherry bookcases add additional character. There are three generous bedrooms upstairs, one with an ensuite bath and the other 2 sharing a jack & jill bathroom. The high end finishes in the basement are another pleasant surprise - stained concrete, real tongue & groove wood paneling, a stone fireplace, and a full kitchen are all included in the main living area. A second den/ pool table room opens to a covered patio with an underdecking system and a hot tub. There is a full bath with a shower and a bedroom that connects to a music / photo studio. The music / photo studio opens to access the cedar greenhouse. As amazing as this house is, it is eclipsed by the wonders of the garden and the outdoor living spaces it provides. There is an "Endless" lap pool, a turfed sitting area, extensive lighting, numerous water features, stone walls and paths, and a lakeside gazebo with both water and electricity. And last, but certainly not least, the lovingly created and maintained terraced gardens themselves. Words cannot do them justice - please see the pictures. The gardens are irrigated with lake water and there is a barn/shed for housing equipment. Both the house and the gardens have been impeccably maintained. You really must tour this property to see how special it is! Property tax reflects senior exemption.
