Charm abounds in this beautiful family home with a sparkling pool in North Buckhead. Quiet Herrington Drive is nestled among the best parks in Buckhead, and a stone’s throw from the unmatched shopping and dining in the Buckhead Village District, Phipps Plaza, and more.
The Blue Heron Nature Preserve is a short walk to the west, or you can jump on PATH400 at Mountain Way Common to the east. All of the recreation and family fun at Chastain Park is less than a mile away, and top-rated Sarah Smith Elementary School is a short 5-minute walk.
This home started out as a quaint 1940s cottage. It has been expanded to provide space for family and entertaining, while retaining the charm of the original cottage. Recent improvements include a complete kitchen remodel, new paint inside and out, and upgrades to the electrical system.
The level half-acre lot includes a fenced front yard with room to play, and a private backyard that is separately fenced. The centerpiece of the resort-like backyard is the heated Belgard stone pool and spa. Over the past four years, the pool has been upgraded with a new natural gas heater, new tiles and stonework, new lighting, and Aqualink integration. Multilevel stone terraces and low-maintenance gravel surround the pool and provide lots of room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining.
Main Level
A cozy fireside family room welcomes you into the home, and flows easily into the open kitchen and breakfast room. Wood beams and 2-tone custom cabinets give the kitchen a clean, modern aesthetic. An adjacent flex space makes a great dining room or play area for the kids.
Two bedrooms face the front of the home, each with a dramatic wood ceiling. One bedroom includes an ensuite bath, and the other has easy access to the full bath in the hallway. Down the hall, you will find two more main-level bedrooms, including the primary suite. The third bedroom has a generous closet and a full ensuite bath.
Primary suite
A large bedroom anchors the primary suite, with a fireside seating area and access to a private patio and the pool terrace beyond. The primary bath includes double vanities, separate tub and shower, and a large walk-in closet.
At the back of the home, you will find a laundry room, half bath with interior and exterior access, and a bright sitting/mud room.
Terrace level
Downstairs, the daylight terrace level includes two separate areas. The finished space includes a large open area, a full bath, and an exterior entrance. Perfect for a private office to run small business with a few employees. It is also the perfect place for live-in relatives, long-term guests, or short-term rental.
A second basement is currently unfinished. This additional 828 square feet is the perfect place for a workshop or storage, with an exterior entrance and a Family Safe.
Attic
The attic of the original home has been recently finished into a child’s dream level. This 800+ square foot space is not included in the total square footage of the home because of the low ceiling height, but the kids will love it! The finished spaces include a playroom, TV area, and a kid-sized bedroom area.
