MULTI-GENERALTION HOME SITTING ON 8 BEAUTIFUL ACRES! One of the most UNIQUE homes in Metro Atlanta. This home looks and feels like a mountain log cabin but is mins from Lawrenceville, 20 mins from the Falcon training facility and 45 mins from downtown Atlanta. Overlooking a creek, the cypress log home has 3 levels of living space plus a wood working shop complete with ventilation system. The shop is attached to a 2 car garage and could easily be converted into a guest house. The entrance is accented by a port-cochere and 2 beautiful cypress doors that open into a foyer and the grand room. It is a breathtaking moment to see the cypress walls and the soring beamed ceiling, stone fireplace and arched windows. The home is set up as 2 separate homes on either side of the grand room. Perfect for guest suite or in-law suite. One side is a 3/2 and the other is a 2/2. Each has its own full kitchen, laundry and living room. The soaring ceilings in both living areas are held up with cypress log beams and accented by a stone fireplace. Across the entire back of the home is a deck with 2 covered areas and open in the middle. What and amazing entertaining opportunity. 4 sets of french doors open onto the deck. It is so easy to picture opening them all in the Spring or Fall to bring the beauty of the surrounding woods inside. The terrace level has a kitchenette, rec room or media room, gym, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. A whole house in itself! This amazing estate must be seen to really appreciate both the natural beauty and the versatility it offers. There is a detached 4 car garage with space to park a full size RV next to it.
