The dining area features built-ins with a feature wall above. No main level is complete without a spacious half-bath for guests and a large mudroom off the garage, both boasting additional custom built-ins. The basement serves as a standalone living space with a living area, open kitchen, two bedrooms with a shared bath, separate laundry room, and two private entrances. This versatile area can accommodate extended guests, serve as an in-law suite, provide independence for any family member, house a temporary or live-in caregiver, or act as a private retreat. Upstairs, the generosity extends to a second living room/media room/playroom/office, complete with a kitchenette for storing beverages and snacks, and an adjacent half-bath. In addition to the owner’s suite, there are three sizable secondary bedrooms, each with their own en-suite baths, and a central laundry room. The owner’s suite exceeds expectations with its standard oversized features, offering a separate walk-in linen closet, distinct “His and Hers” walk-in closets with built-ins, and large windows throughout to welcome abundant natural light. The en suite bath features separate "His and Hers" water closets; hers includes an extra interior vanity, while his is equipped for a TV, both boasting bidet-equipped automatic toilets. The main bath area houses "his" vanity space and "her" second vanity complete with a makeup counter. A soaking tub takes center stage against a feature wall, opposite a spacious walk-in shower with a rain-head and body sprays. Outside, the expansive private fenced backyard is ready for a pool addition. The serenity of the neighborhood invites relaxation, and you might find yourself drawn to the front covered deck to unwind and watch the sunset. With a careful gaze through the trees, the Buckhead skyline emerges in the distance, its nocturnal lights twinkling like stars, affirming that the view alone justifies the journey.
