This Mediterranean home designed by James Means offers architectural pedigree on 4.22 acres inside the perimeter, but recent improvements, additions, and a fabulous new pool have taken it to the next level. Since acquiring the property 4+ years ago, the current owners have carried out a renovation of the home and new gardens and outdoor spaces. The result is a private estate in Whitewater Creek that functions as both a retreat and a place built for gathering.
The centerpiece of the new outdoor program is an infinity pool with a spa and a pool cabana, all recently constructed. Around them, extensive new landscaping includes a rose garden and generous stretches of synthetic turf, chosen for low maintenance and everyday use. The existing sunroom looks out over the gardens, giving the interior a direct line to everything that has been built outside.
Inside, the 7,798-square-foot home has been refreshed with a new kitchen and a new primary bathroom that was extended and bumped out to accommodate a dramatic shower framed by a large steel window. The view from it is nothing but the four acres. On the terrace level, a wine cellar and tasting room anchor the entertaining spaces. Five bedrooms, seven full baths and a half bath are spread across three levels.
Flexibility comes from the attached three-car garage, which carries full guest quarters above it with a separate entrance. That arrangement handles longer visits, a home office, or whatever the household needs it to be, without compromising the main house.
Built in 1974 and thoroughly updated, the property sits just one block from the incredible hiking trails along the Chattahoochee River National Park. It is located in the Warren T. Jackson, Sutton and North Atlanta school districts, with a voluntary neighborhood association. Acreage, privacy and a short drive to everything Buckhead offers rarely arrive in the same address. Offered at $4,395,000.
