Designed for main-level living, the home centers around a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings and south-facing windows flowing through a grand arch into the dining area. The chef’s kitchen features high-end granite countertops, custom hickory cabinetry handcrafted by a local master carpenter from Stone Mountain, and top-tier appliances. A large screened porch just off the kitchen offers a peaceful, tree-house feel with long-range winter views. The lower level apartment includes a fully equipped in-law or guest suite with radiant heated tile floors, granite countertops, bedroom, bath, anteroom, kitchenette, and private exterior entrance. Above the garage, a spacious carriage house or home office with half bath, private entrance, and broadband wiring provides excellent flexibility and potential tax advantages. A large garden area features fruit trees including paw paw, apple, grape, peach, plum, and persimmon.
