About This Home
A rare opportunity to own a home with a legacy in one of Metro Atlanta's most sought-after communities, located in the Buford City School District. Originally custom-built for one of Buford's beloved longtime pharmacists and thoughtfully renovated in the seventies by respected local builder Glendon Beard, this one-of-a-kind residence seamlessly blends timeless character with modern updates. Offering over 2,700 square feet above grade plus a largely finished 1,200+/- square-foot terrace level, the home provides exceptional space and flexibility. More than $40,000 in recent improvements include new HVAC systems for both levels, fresh interior and exterior paint, restored original hardwood floors, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and numerous additional updates (full list available). The heart of the home is an impressive family room anchored by a dramatic 10-foot stone fireplace, complemented by formal living and dining rooms, a spacious kitchen, and a bright breakfast area. Unique bonus spaces include a heated and cooled sunroom and a separate heated solarium/greenhouse-ideal for gardening, hobbies, or a relaxing retreat. The main level features three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, while the finished terrace level offers endless possibilities for a media room, home office, guest suite, fitness area, or multigenerational living. Outside, the expansive backyard provides ample room to create your ideal outdoor oasis. Here in the City of Buford, you'll enjoy easy access to charming downtown shops and restaurants, parks, Lake Lanier, and I-985 and I-85. Rich in history, beautifully updated, and filled with character, this exceptional home is anything but ordinary!
