"Farmwoody" - A New England Inspired Estate in Rivergate Welcome to one of Atlanta's most charming and elegant estate homes, privately set on over 1 acre in the sought-after Rivergate neighborhood. This classic, New England-inspired property-known fondly as "Farmwoody"-offers a rare blend of timeless architecture, rolling green lawns, and modern comforts. Step inside this turnkey home offers brand new interior paint throughout, updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a new roof. Discover three beautifully finished levels with soaring ceilings, rich traditional detailing, and thoughtful renovations throughout. This residence offers five bedrooms, including a gracious main-level guest suite with full bath and four additional bedrooms upstairs. The terrace level features a full apartment with separate entrance, kitchen, living area, gym, playroom, office and private walkout terrace-perfect for extended family, guests, or an au pair. The grounds are truly special. A rolling front lawn welcomes you home, while the expansive backyard offers plenty of room for a pool, gardens, or even playful roaming space for pets and chickens alike. Yes-there's a luxury chicken coop and a compost garden ready for homegrown vegetables and fruits. Dog owners will love the invisible fencing, and hobbyists will appreciate the versatile outdoor workshop/mini barn (easy to add water/electric). Enjoy outdoor living year-round with a screened-in porch and stacked-stone fireplace, a cozy fire pit for marshmallow nights, and lush landscaping that creates a true private retreat. All of this in Rivergate-a friendly, social neighborhood a short drive to Dunwoody Country Club (golf, tennis, swim) and minutes to GA-400, I-285, Pill Hill hospitals, and Perimeter's best shopping, dining, and business centers. This is not just a home-it's a lifestyle. Photo 57 is a rendering to show the yard is large enough to add a pool.
