About This Home

Unveiling The Joshua Plan, a private & gated estate of rare scale and sophistication—boasting over 7,300 square feet above grade and nearly 3,000 square feet below grade. Set on an expansive 1 acre+ within the award-winning Buford City School District, this all-brick residence pairs timeless architectural elegance with the flexibility to personalize every detail. Perfectly situated near upscale dining, boutique shopping, and premier community amenities, this is the epitome of refined estate living. A private gated drive leads to a commanding façade adorned with brick, stone, and architectural metal roof accents. The grounds are equally impressive, with a large, pool-ready backyard and multiple outdoor living areas, including double covered decks that frame serene views and invite year-round enjoyment. Inside, the grand foyer opens to a soaring, light-filled floor plan designed for both spectacular entertaining and intimate family moments. The Chef’s Kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a premium gas range with vent hood, oversized quartz island, and a custom walk-in pantry with wall-to-wall shelving. A second kitchen—ideal for catering or specialty cooking—enhances function and elegance. Luxury finishes are woven throughout, with a curated standard feature list available and endless opportunities for customization. The home’s dual Owner’s Retreats—one on the main level and one on the upper level—offer unmatched versatility and privacy, each with spa- inspired baths featuring freestanding soaking tubs, frameless glass showers, dual vanities, and boutique-style walk-in closets. Upstairs, three additional bedroom suites include private baths and spacious closets, while a vaulted Media Room with fireplace serves as an inviting upper-level gathering space. With 10-foot ceilings on the main level, extensive millwork, custom cabinetry, and a four-car garage, the craftsmanship is evident at every turn. The unfinished terrace level—nearly 3,000 square feet—presents limitless potential for future expansion, from a home theater and wine cellar to a fitness studio or private guest quarters. With luxury options throughout and a builder committed to accommodating custom design changes, "The Joshua" is more than a home—it is a legacy estate, crafted to inspire for generations.
