The current owner, only the third, painstakingly restored this southern belle to her former glory and it is SIMPLY BREATHTAKING! Located on almost 4 acres and nestled among other estates on large acreage tracts, enter the property off Old Jefferson Rd via a long winding driveway. There is also access along Walton Creek Rd. With AR zoning and no HOA affiliation, it is permissible for a few horses and stables. A circular driveway provides a grand entrance and plenty of parking for guests in addition to the side-entry two-car garage. As a nod to the original owner & UGA, you'll enter the home 'tween the hedges You can't help but notice the opulent landscaping which is fed automatically with a series of sprinklers (all well-fed). But just wait...there's so much more. A wide brick walkway leads you to the double balconied facade into the welcoming grand foyer. Inside, you are welcomed straight into the pages of Southern Living. Wide heart of pine plank flooring gleam and deep custom molding run throughout the home. Formal dining and living rooms flank the foyer. Thoughtful flow leads your guests to the massive great room with a large wood-burning fireplace and deep wood wainscotting. A large wetbar with granite counters, sink, custom built-ins, and refrigerator nook sits adjacent with a serving window. Tucked quietly beyond, is the 1st of two main-level powder rooms. Accessible through the great room, foyer, and dining room, is the kitchen. Brick flooring and accents, high-end appliances marble countertops, and custom built-ins make it a true chef's dream. Beyond, is the 2nd half-bath and large mudroom/laundry room - again with tons of custom built-ins. A wide rear deck runs the length of the home, overlooking the inground pool and gardens...but we'll get to that later. Upstairs, is the owner's suite with more storage and closets, that you'll need to go shopping to fill them. The bath is a spa-like oasis boasting a steam shower, deep soaking tub, and more custom built-ins. Two additional bedrooms and baths round out the second floor which also has those lovely heart pine floors and deep custom built-ins. The upstairs balcony is accessible from either the owner's suite or the front secondary bedroom - a wonderful place to enjoy your first cup of coffee. On the 3rd level, is a giant suite with sitting area, bedroom, and ensuite bath. Back downstairs to the terrace level, you'll find an unbelievable in-law suite. A gourmet kitchen, walk-in pantry, second laundry room, bedroom, bathroom, stone fireplace with gas starter, huge living room and sunroom area - this is a whole house itself. Per owner, this space is approximately 1500 sf. Large windows and French doors open to the massive patio and pool area. Outside, the owner's green thumb and decorating expertise continues to show. You'll appreciate the vignettes and outside "rooms". A large Martha Stewart garden shows off roses, peonies, fruit trees, raised veggie gardens all protected by deer fencing. Words and pictures just don't do it justice. The landscaping spinklers and pool are fed by well water. Timers and strategically placed water faucet wheels make maintaining the grounds easy for even those of us without green thumbs. Nitty gritty- the home is fed by 4 gas HVAC systems, 3 of which are new with UV light. The fourth one is newer as well. There are 2 gas water heaters - one is new and the other is less than 5 years. All the windows have been replaced by the current owner. All appliances have been replaced. The roof has been recently inspected with the roofer remarking on the quality and hardiness of the materials. Approx, 5,750sf.- this house is beyond solid. This home is remarkable in every way and the owners were reluctant to sell, but a new chapter is calling. Be the one to make this one your next chapter!
