A 6-bedroom, 5-bath single family residence in Sandy Springs.

A masterpiece of modern living, this custom-built contemporary residence presents an exquisite blend of expansive interiors and a luminous, highly coveted lot tailored for both serenity and recreation. Enveloped by resort-inspired amenities—including a sparkling pool, tiered gardens, and thoughtfully designed outdoor leisure areas—this home offers a secluded sanctuary mere moments from Buckhead and Chastain Park.
Completed as a ground-up build just a decade ago, the property was conceived with an eye for effortless elegance, livability, and memorable entertaining. Six bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths unfold across a versatile layout that harmonizes generous communal spaces with intimate private quarters. A sculptural staircase, lofty ceilings, and sweeping walls of glass infuse the home with volume and natural light, while refined, organic finishes set a warm yet contemporary tone throughout.
The main level flows with a gracious sense of ease, anchored by a striking double-sided stacked-stone fireplace that serves as a dramatic focal point. The chef’s kitchen—center island, abundant storage, and seamless connection to the dining area and pool terrace—elevates both relaxed evenings and vibrant weekend gatherings.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a serene haven, complete with a spa-caliber bath featuring a soaking tub, frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and generous wardrobe space. Additional spacious bedrooms and an upper-level media or family lounge ensure ample room for children, guests, and multipurpose living.
The finished terrace level enhances the home’s adaptability with an additional bedroom and flexible spaces ideal for a guest retreat, fitness studio, office, or playroom.
Outdoors, the property truly distinguishes itself. A deep, shimmering pool and broad deck invite lively celebrations or quiet sun-drenched afternoons, while the covered patio with ceiling fan, half basketball court, and beautifully terraced landscaping create an extraordinary environment for both recreation and relaxation. With southwest exposure, the grounds bask in natural light from dawn to dusk.
Situated within the desirable Heards Ferry Elementary and Riverwood International Charter School district, this residence seamlessly unites modern artistry with family-centered convenience. Moments from Chastain Park’s walking trails, golf course, and amphitheater—and within easy reach of Buckhead’s premier boutiques and dining—this home offers a rare fusion of privacy, lifestyle, and prime accessibility.
More than a home, this is a contemporary treasure set on an exceptional lot in one of Atlanta’s most esteemed communities.
