A bold expression of modern design, set on nearly an acre in one of Atlanta’s most coveted settings, this newly constructed retreat makes an immediate impression. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like a home and more like a private escape—where every turn reveals something intentional, unexpected, and beautifully refined. Your experience begins at the entry, where a custom solid wood pivot door swings open to a dramatic reveal of soaring ceilings and sun-drenched interiors. Walls of glass blur the line between inside and out, drawing you forward into a space that feels both expansive and intimately designed. At the center of it all, the main living area unfolds as a statement of modern elegance. A sculptural floating staircase rises like art, while a porcelain-wrapped fireplace quietly anchors the room. It’s a space equally suited for quiet evenings or lively gatherings, effortlessly adapting to the rhythm of daily life. Just beyond, the kitchen becomes the true heart of the home, a place where conversation lingers and memories are made. Outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, German-crafted cabinetry, and a glowing quartz island, it invites everything from casual mornings to elegant dinner parties. A built-in dining table creates a natural gathering point, while a hidden walk-in pantry keeps the experience seamless. Nearby, the wine bar wrapped in Taj Mahal quartz and Italian fluted marble sets the stage for evenings that stretch long into the night. Throughout the home, every detail tells a story of craftsmanship and global inspiration. Brazilian Ipe wood accents add warmth, imported Italian tile brings texture, and bespoke carpentry ties it all together. Each bedroom offers its own private retreat, complete with custom closets and spa-like baths featuring floating vanities and rain showers designed for true relaxation. The primary suite feels like a world of its own a peaceful sanctuary with a private balcony, a serene, spa-inspired bath, and dual custom closets designed for both beauty and function. Just down the hall, a secondary balcony off the office offers a quiet moment of escape perfect for morning coffee as the day begins or a glass of wine as it winds down. Downstairs, the home reveals yet another layer designed for connection and surprise. The finished terrace level features a full second kitchen, a guest suite, and a hidden home theater tucked discreetly behind a secret door, an unforgettable detail that elevates every gathering. Outside, oversized sliding doors open to a covered porch overlooking tranquil, wooded views. It’s a setting made for slow mornings, weekend entertaining, or simply enjoying the stillness of nature. And just beyond the backyard, a direct path leads to Thompson Park, extending your living space into the outdoors. Perfectly positioned near the Atlanta Hawks practice facility on Hawks Lane, with easy access to Emory University, the CDC, and Arthur M. Blank Hospital, this home offers not just luxury, but connection and convenience woven into everyday life. This is more than a home, it’s a place where design, lifestyle, and story come together in a way that feels truly rare.
