The front gate and winding private driveway draw you in to the beautiful 2+acre wooded lot. The inviting 2-story front porch overlooks a creek and mature hardwood trees. It takes a special home to keep one owner for over 50 years, and that is just what this home has done. Custom designed for the current owner in 1968 by Henry Smith and his father Francis Palmer Smith who created some of Atlanta’s greatest architecture. Through the years the timeless design has served as the backdrop for a busy family’s life and has withstood the test of time while gaining a patina that only time can add. The entire main floor features beautiful details and handcrafted millwork while at the same time feeling elegant, timeless and cozy. The owner’s suite is on the main level and is comprised of a large bedroom and separate his/hers baths and closets.
There are four spacious bedroom suites upstairs that are bright and full of character plus a large bonus room. Each of the bedrooms has a walk-in closet with custom shelving and storage. A large bonus room is also on this level.
The updated daylight terrace level features a large family room/Game room with a fireplace and kitchenette. The additional bedroom and full bath make a great guest suite or home gym. Also on this level there is access to a large covered porch and a large storage room/workshop. The beautiful rear patio garden has been featured in numerous publications, including Better Homes & Gardens and The Atlanta Journal.
