It's here, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you immediately know you're someplace special. This beautiful, spacious estate has an extraordinary setting with nearly two acres bordering protected parkland and private access to Falls Lake, just a short walk through the woods, for fishing and paddle boarding or sipping a cold drink while you soak in the natural beauty. This stately home itself is also a place to retreat from work and the world, where there's everything you need, and more, with elegant and expansive gathering spaces, and 12 and 14-foot ceilings on the main level, this home is also warm, and filled with personality with a 2-story foyer, floating staircase and open custom kitchen, and inviting spots to gather by one of the seven fireplaces. This is also a home that knows how to have fun, whether playing pool in your very own pub, or having a movie night in a real theatre modeled after the Fox in Atlanta - complete with a ticket booth and concession stand. Work out in the large gym with outdoor access, then hit the sauna, and afterward reward yourself with something out of the massive climate-controlled wine cellar. This home has plenty of room and all the amenities, including generous spaces for multi-generational living and many updates including a remodeled master suite, updated bathrooms, freshly painted interior, newer roof and HVAC, etc.
Throughout this thoughtfully designed home by award-winning Atlanta architects Spitzmiller and Norris, there are beautiful details, sunken rooms, built-ins and window benches, all in a brick-clad home with huge verandas, patios, and a screened-in porch for outdoor living. It all overlooks a fenced backyard where dogs can run, kids can play, and adults can entertain or relax alongside gorgeous, mature private gardens. Nearby are even more amenities, including biking trails, a park, and the Country Club at Wakefield Plantation, a place to make new friends through golf, racquet sports, aquatics, and dining.
