Gracefully set on 2.2 gated acres along one of Sandy Springs’ most prestigious streets, this timeless residence offers a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary one-of-a-kind estate. Tucked far from the road, the home blends privacy, scale, and classic architecture in a setting that feels both grand and secluded. Designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, this residence offers beautifully proportioned formal and informal living spaces complete with an elevator that services all four levels of the home. A dramatic two-story foyer with cathedral ceilings welcomes you inside, flanked by a private study and spacious dining room. The fireside keeping room flows seamlessly into a large eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar, 6-burner gas cooktop, double oven, two dishwashers, and a walk-in pantry. While a sun-drenched sunroom off the living room overlooks the serene backyard and resort-style pool and pavilion. The expansive main level owner’s suite tucked away on its own wing of the home features a sitting area with fireplace, breakfast/wet bar and fridge, his and hers walk-in closets, an elegant en-suite bath, and access to the sunroom. Upstairs offers five generously sized secondary bedrooms each with an en-suite bath, second laundry room, and a third floor bonus room with full bath and wet bar ideal for an office, playroom, or game room. The terrace level offers 1,245 sf of finished spaced featuring a theater room, bar, and full bath while the remaining 3,253 sf of unfinished space, already stubbed, is a blank canvas ready to be customized and tailored to your vision. Outdoor living is truly exceptional and thoughtfully designed for unforgettable gatherings. A covered entertaining pavilion anchors the backyard, complete with a fully equipped bar, gas grill, dedicated shower, and private bathroom offering the ultimate convenience for poolside living. With abundant seating areas and multiple spaces to gather, dine, and unwind, the setting easily accommodates both intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. The resort-style pool and professionally landscaped grounds further enhance the sense of retreat and privacy. Ideally located in the heart of Sandy Springs, this home provides convenient access to Buckhead, Truist Park, top-ranked private and pubic schools, and major highways blending privacy with exceptional connectivity. This special residence, in an unmatched setting, is a rare offering not seen on the market in over two decades and should not be missed!
