Old Hollywood meets European elegance in Atlanta! This John Calhoun designed Dutch manor house overflows with architectural artistry. Crafted with the finest materials and modern conveniences, it's tucked away on a cul-de-sac near Chastain Park. Built in 1990, this three-level, 4,540 sq ft residence is strategically situated on a wide, half-acre (.58) lot to take full advantage of the light. Enter through a baroque gable porch, framed by boxwoods into an entrance hall with fluted columns. Step down into a sweeping living room with 11 foot ceilings, 200-year-old beams, a custom fireplace, and French doors with a Juliet balcony. The dining room seats twelve and opens through another set of French doors into an outdoor patio for al fresco dining. The chef's kitchen boasts high-end German tile floors, custom pine cabinetry and luxury fixtures and appliances by Waterworks, Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. A windowed laundry room and china closet contribute to practical elegance. The cozy library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases doubles as a bedroom, while a Swedish-style sauna and marble powder room complete the first floor. A domed skylight illuminates the curved staircase leading to the sunlit primary suite with a sitting room and bath featuring a Sherle Wagner sink, Circa Lighting sconces, and a frameless glass shower door. Three additional bedrooms offer updated baths with more luxury fixtures from Crosswater London, Waterworks, Perrin, and Bocci. The terrace level has a private entrance and features an antique Portuguese arch that leads into a spacious media room/office and an adjacent room that can be used as a gym or wine cellar. Meticulous, mature landscaping enhances the sense of timelessness. The property is officially in the City of Atlanta and Sandy Springs, offering a choice of both public school systems. Fine private schools are also nearby. With its unmatched combination of European charm, modern amenities, and proximity to city life, this home is a rare and unparalleled find.
