Hidden away on a private cul-de-sac in Sandy Springs, situated amongst the tall Georgia pines and a stone-lined drive sits this sexy unassuming home with dark grey exterior adorned with cedar accents that screams mountain retreat; however, you are slightly confused because you swear you just left the hustle and bustle after a long work day in Buckhead. The modern entry and garage doors intrigue you as to what else is hiding behind those walls. As your wife scrambles to find the listing photos on her i-phone, you roll down the car window and you hear nothing but peace and quiet… Your wife taps your arm, waking you from your trance and screams HONEY… My gosh you have to see this VIEW! The entire living room wall opens up and it looks like you are living in a tree house.. and the light orange hue from the sunset is ahhh-mazing! After months of seeing the same ole’ 5-4 and a door homes your patience has paid off… you have found the Unicorn. You wife says Call our Agent NOW! Blow up the Listing Agent’s phone… I don’t care, we need to see this home TODAY! Your Agent gets your text and quickly stops filming Instagram reels, grabs the iced Americano with light ice in a venti cup, 3 shots (not shaken of course) and hops in the late model Mercedes and speeds off to meet you.
Before the Agent can even set the lockbox down, you push your way into the foyer and are immediately blown away by all the natural light and warm hardwoods. While you are trying to take it all in, you hear your wife scream and her eyes almost pop out of her head… as you turn the corner you see what all the fuss is about… a stunning Kitchen with white quartz tops, mix of honey and white shaker cabinets, Cafe Smart Appliances with champagne hardware, timeless backsplash with a ton of natural light. Before you have a chance to take it in, she turns around and is drawn like a magnet towards the folding wall in the Living Room… she steps onto the deck as if she is Rose waiting for Jack… staring at the tree tops, hearing the birds chirp and the running water of the creek in the distance … she screams it is heaven! As you try to temper her excitement, you turn back and walk into the Owner’s Suite on the Main. You say to yourself now this a spacious suite.. the fireplace, the sitting area, the view and wow even more light… as you open the sliding doors to the Ensuite… you immediately relax as if you were looking at your own personal spa! Your wife says she doesn’t know if she can take much more and is signaling to the agent to start writing the offer; however, you feel the need to see more.
Bypassing the upstairs bedrooms, you make your way to the Terrace Level and at that moment you realize the unassuming house from the street.. is actually a sneaky big home… you find another full bed and bath, common area for entertaining, storage room or exercise room and an office that is lit from the heavens overlooking the backyard with its own deck… just Wow! But wait, where does this terrace door lead… as you walk down the stairs you realize there is a 3rd private deck area with no railings and nothing but a view…. Hello, it is 455 Stone Mill Trail you have been looking for, where visions of relaxing in white Adirondack chairs on the private deck, beverage in hand, fire pit in full blaze and the peaceful bliss of the running water in Marsh Creek relaxing your mind and setting your soul at peace! You are home… and it all makes sense now, the community is called Lost Forest where all your worries and troubles disappear!
Now honey get out your checkbook and tell our Agent to make an Offer $150k over list, then lock the doors because we aren’t leaving!!
