A discreet driveway—easy to miss—leads to a private gate and unveils a breathtaking white brick estate that feels worlds away from the city beyond. Secluded yet central, this remarkable property offers an extraordinary blend of peace, privacy, and proximity to Atlanta’s finest dining, shopping, and business districts. Completely reimagined and modernized in 2025, the residence reflects a full-scale design transformation. Every surface, fixture, and finish has been renewed with uncompromising attention to detail, blending timeless architecture with sophisticated, contemporary style. Set on approximately one acre of impeccably landscaped grounds, the estate welcomes you with a sweeping circular driveway, serene courtyards, and manicured lawns that frame the home in every direction. The outdoor living spaces center around a new private saltwater pool, offering resort-style serenity in total seclusion. A covered porch with a stone fireplace extends the living area outdoors—perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining, or unwinding beside the water surrounded by lush greenery. The terrace level lives as a full secondary residence, complete with a gourmet kitchen, private bedroom suite, theater, fitness room, and distinctive whiskey and wine rooms. Generous living and dining areas make this level ideal for guests, long-term stays, or multigenerational living with complete independence and comfort. Perfectly positioned minutes from I-75 and Buckhead’s most coveted destinations, this exceptional estate combines the best of both worlds—total privacy, a private resort-style pool, and effortless access to the heart of Atlanta. Behind the gates awaits a private world of your own, where modern luxury and timeless elegance coexist in perfect balance.

Pleasant Hill, located between I-285 and the Chattahoochee River, is a residential and wooded Atlanta neighborhood with rolling topography and a creek-laced landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Riverside Drive NW corridor near the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, where trailheads, outfitters, and low-key local hangouts set the pace. Streets of mid-century ranches and newer infill sit under a heavy tree canopy, with cul-de-sacs and winding lanes that follow the terrain. Daily life orbits outdoor time—river walks, bike rides, and quick stops at nearby markets and cafes. The setting feels tucked into the city’s northwest edge, with green space acting as the main landmark.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Buckhead isn't one market — it's a dozen small ones. High-rise living near Lenox and Phipps, quiet estate streets off West Paces Ferry, or somewhere in between — each pocket has its own price range and feel.
