An extraordinary gated home surrounded by over 3 acres of outdoor living spaces, landscaped trails and level lawns bordering Nancy Creek. Outdoor spaces include an expansive terrace with a pool and spa, pool house, covered outdoor living area, koi pond, and a pavilion with a fireplace next to the kitchen garden. The elegant craftsmanship and charming characteristics are apparent as soon as you step into the dramatic foyer. A wood paneled study features unique inlay flooring, which also graces the formal dining room along with a beautiful antique crystal chandelier. The spacious formal living room featuring one of 5 fireplaces is lined with arched french doors that lead to the covered patio and swimming pool. A separate family room has room for both family seating and an informal dining area. The Wormy Chestnut paneling, extensive millwork, bookshelves and beams make this light and spacious room warm and cozy. Both professional chefs and home cooks will truly appreciate the fabulous kitchen! An oversized butler's pantry/hall leads to a bright and open space with extensive counters and cabinet space and professional appliances. A breakfast area overlooks the kitchen garden. Wine enthusiasts will love the climate controlled mahogany wine cellar. The relaxing owner's suite has a high vaulted ceiling, a separate sitting room with a fireplace, a sprawling walk in closet and a nice bathroom. Natural light floods through large windows overlooking the pool terrace and Nancy Creek beyond. Upstairs are 2 bedroom suites with ensuite baths and large closets, and a laundry room. A separate stairway leads to a very large additional suite above the 3-car garage with a fireplace, high wood-paneled ceilings and walls, built-ins, full bath and a private covered porch. This is the perfect spot for a private home office or secluded guest suite.

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.
