Beyond impressive square footage and acreage, 2801 Kell Road is a livable estate nestled atop Signal Mountain. The main house, guest house, garages, 5 stall barn and kennels, are surrounded by professionally designed gardens groomed over decades into an impressive year round landscape.The main house is reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship from the mountain stone exterior to painstakingly crafted millwork throughout. Architect designed, the interior of the main home is made up of intimate spaces that betray its 5,000 square foot size. Whether entertaining 30 people or cozying up with a loved-on, the main home provides both formal and informal spaces that scale to your life. Walking through the front door, the textures of solid wood paneling, intricate millwork and expertly applied Venetian plaster draw you into the main living room with coffered ceilings and a stately mountain stone fireplace. The home flows from there into either the formal dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the front lawn or into the breakfast room with a dry bar with ice maker. The kitchen which adjoins both the breakfast room overlooking the pool and the formal dining room is scaled and equipped for dinner for two or your next catered function.
