It's here, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you immediately know you're someplace special. This beautiful, spacious waterfront estate has an extraordinary setting with nearly two acres bordering protected parkland and private access to Falls Lake for fishing and paddle boarding or sipping a cold drink while you soak in the natural beauty. This stately home itself is also a place to retreat from work and the world, where there's everything you need, and more, with elegant and expansive gathering spaces, and 12 and 14-foot ceilings on the main level, this home is also warm, and filled with personality with a 2-story foyer, floating staircase and open custom kitchen, and inviting spots to gather by one of the seven fireplaces. This is also a home that knows how to have fun, whether playing pool in your very own pub, or having a movie night in a real theatre modeled after the Fox in Atlanta - complete with a ticket booth and concession stand. Work out in the large gym with outdoor access, then hit the sauna, and afterward reward yourself with something out of the massive climate-controlled wine cellar. This home has plenty of room and all the amenities, including a nanny suite, generous spaces for multi-generational living and many updates including a remodeled master suite, updated bathrooms, freshly painted interior, newer roof and HVAC, etc. Throughout this thoughtfully designed home by award-winning Atlanta architects Spitzmiller and Norris, there are beautiful details, sunken rooms, built-ins and window benches, all in a brick-clad home with huge verandas, patios, and a screened-in porch for outdoor living. It all overlooks a fenced backyard where dogs can run, kids can play, and adults can entertain or relax alongside gorgeous, mature private gardens. Nearby are even more amenities, including biking trails, a park, and the Country Club at Wakefield Plantation, a place to make new friends through golf, racquet sports, aquatics, and dining.
