About This Home
Tucked behind gates in Chastain Park, this European-inspired estate feels like a private resort surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. The outdoor setting is exceptional, featuring a saltwater pool with waterfalls, a cascading spa, expansive sundeck, firepit, and a magnificent Civil War-era magnolia tree. The heart of the home is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A wall of oversized sliding doors opens the fireside living room to the vaulted screened porch, allowing the two spaces to flow together as one incredible entertaining area. The porch features a gas fireplace, built-in grill, beverage refrigerator, and pass-through window to the chef’s kitchen. Inside, hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and abundant windows overlooking the manicured grounds create a bright, elegant atmosphere throughout. The kitchen offers quartz countertops, premium appliances, an oversized island, walk-in pantry, butler’s pantry, and a Pebble Ice maker. The main-level primary suite includes a sitting area, dual closets, a spa-like bath, and direct access to the screened-in porch. Upstairs are four ensuite bedrooms, all with walk-in closets, and a flexible bonus loft. The finished, light-filled terrace level includes a bar, theater, fitness room, family room, full bath, and dog wash. Additional highlights include four fireplaces, a Generac whole-house generator, whole-house water filtration system, three-car garage, whole-home Sonos sound system, and easy sidewalk access to all the amenities of Chastain Park. All of this with remarkable privacy, yet just minutes from Buckhead dining, shopping, schools, and major highways. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy exceptional space, privacy, and resort-style living in one of Atlanta’s most coveted location.
