This extraordinary home is cradled within seven terraced-levels of botanical paradise that cascade over 12.64 acres of manicured grounds, walking trails, meadows, horse runs, and parklike vistas. Each window of the home frames a serene, calendar-worthy view of verdant landscape. Over 20 Japanese maples of varied species grace the property, along with tulip trees, a mulberry tree, ancient elms, a grove of tree-sized camelia bushes, abundant magnolia, and pine. In spring, plentiful Azalea bushes burst in vibrant shades of coral, white, fuscia, and red, and purple rhododendron spot the terrain. Japanese Lantern and a corridor of whimsical cherry blossoms gracefully umbrella a long walkway to both a pole barn to the north and to the south, a meadow with an alluring grassy field complete with firepit, blueberry bushes, and an enchanting, albeit uninhabitable cabin (up for extensive repair or a new build of your choice with all utilities already in place). The long winding gravel driveway finds the house hidden completely from the street affording unparalled privacy with no neighbors in sight and yet all basic needs are literally just 2 minutes away with the Atlanta International Airport, accessible in 25 minutes. An inviting brick veranda envelopes the front of this stately Arts and Crafts home and provides a shady retreat for a mindful morning java or entertaining guests. An elegant great room with soaring vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace warmly greets you as you enter home. The main level flows conveniently to include an ample primary bedroom with tray ceiling and sliding glass doors that access an L-shaped deck overlooking the yard and field beyond. Additionally, a 4-piece ensuite bath and garden tub with roomy walk-in closet, an updated elegant country kitchen with high-end appliances, an intimate dining area, and a side entrance with slate mud-room, complete the first floor. Richly colored hardwood anchors the entire main level. Other than the stairway, there is no carpet in any room in the home. The lower level offers a mirror footprint of the upstairs with a secondary bedroom, a 3-piece ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet. A family room or flex space with a third bathroom connects to a generous third bedroom. A utility room with laundry area, and good-sized storage space finish the lower-level floorplan. Bring your horses, realize your dream hobby farm, family compound, or simply a sprawling private getaway, and revel in pastoral serenity minutes from the excitement of Atlanta and all the modern conveniences you could ever hope for.
