Nestled on just over an acre in the highly desirable Heards Ferry / Riverwood school district, this beautifully updated home exudes charm, character, and a rich sense of history. Custom built by the original owner—who was the first to build on Glen Errol and carefully chose what is widely considered the best lot—this gated home was thoughtfully designed with timeless quality and attention to detail. The kitchen features granite countertops, a cozy breakfast nook, and custom cabinetry selected as a replica of those in Princess Diana’s summer home—a unique and elegant touch. A picturesque walk-out pool on the main level invites easy indoor-outdoor living, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in a private, wooded setting that feels like a mountain retreat. The expansive primary suite on the main floor offers dual vanities, spacious walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with a separate tub and shower. A second primary bedroom upstairs provides additional flexibility. The classic, traditional layout includes formal living and dining rooms, generously sized secondary bedrooms, and a finished basement with a gym or flex room, extra bedroom and bathroom, and ample storage. Because the home was built as a forever residence, no expense was spared—including top-of-the-line systems and a whole-house generator. Located just minutes from Chastain Park, top-tier shopping, dining, and some of Atlanta’s premier private schools, this home offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and convenience.
