About This Home

Park-Like Retreat in the Heart of Johns Creek!
Step into timeless elegance with this exceptional 5,000+ sq ft estate nestled on over an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds in one of Johns Creek’s most sought-after neighborhoods—known for its safety, top schools, and vibrant lifestyle. Set on a raised elevation, the home boasts breathtaking curb appeal, with custom fully irrigated landscaping, landscape lighting, and a wide front porch that welcomes you into a world of warmth, luxury, and function.

Inside, soaring ceilings over 20 feet high in the great room frame a mahogany wall of windows that draw your eye to the stone and timber veranda overlooking the spectacular outdoor setting. The open floor plan with hardwood floors offers effortless flow, yet maintains a cozy, inviting atmosphere perfect for both grand entertaining and intimate evenings.

At the heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen—commercial-grade appliances, copper farmhouse sinks, custom cabinetry, and expansive prep space for everything from small dinners to large-scale entertaining. A large walk-in pantry with laundry hookups provides one-level living flexibility, complementing the spacious main-level primary suite, complete with a sitting area, custom closet cabinetry, and luxurious bath.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, a charming playroom or art studio, and a full laundry room. The finished terrace level offers incredible versatility with a private in-law suite, full kitchen area, gym, workshop, theater, and game room—perfect for multigenerational living or serious entertaining.

Step outside to your private sanctuary: a sprawling veranda with stone flooring, pine tongue-and-groove ceilings, hand-carved mortise and tenon framing, and wood trusses. The outdoor kitchen features a Big Green Egg, gas grill, fridge, ice maker, expansive serving/dining counter and custom lighting—ideal for unforgettable gatherings. Stroll winding paths through the backyard, relax by the self-draining, large stone fire pit surrounded by natural boulder seating, or enjoy the magic of custom lighting under the canopy of stars and trees.

Every detail has been meticulously maintained—fresh interior and exterior paint, updated systems, whole-house on-demand water heating, and a new roof in 2023. This incredible home is truly move-in ready.

Located in Johns Creek—named the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report in 2025—this home is just minutes from top-ranked public and private schools, the Atlanta Athletic Club, premier golf, dining, parks, river access, and theaters. This is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle.
