Now on the market is a one-of-a-kind, premium 1.5 acre property nestled in privacy but with immediate access to everything. This Lawrenceville home is only two miles from Georgia Gwinnett College, five miles from the Mall of GA, other retail shopping and parks around the corner, and residing in the Collins Hill School District. What a fabulous private property for the right family! This home is a landmark in the area and awaits to please its buyer.
Architecturally designed and commissioned by a former Whitehouse Chief of Staff upon leaving office, this contemporary cedar-sided multi (6)-leveled home offers generous light-filled rooms, built-in cabinetry throughout, windows galore, multiple decks, hardwoods, tile, carpeting and so much more. A breezeway with blue stone patio and detached 2-car garage has been added. Greeting visitors approaching the front entry is a beautiful stone-lined pond with waterfall, surrounded by shrubs, ground cover, many perennials and potted plants.
The property is rich with planted areas and lawns. There is a Japanese garden in the rear of the house blended into the wooded landscape and traveling down to a creek. It is truly a nature lover's paradise. A 500 ft., 3-gate rustic fence surrounds the front yard with driveway gates securing the property from wildlife, although deer, a wonderful variety of birds, and other small animals are always easily seen just beyond.
The 4000sq.ft. house is built on a hillside over-looking mature hardwoods and Wildcat Creek. In warm weather, the house becomes totally invisible with tree canopies covering up the sizable structure.
Inside, the double entry opens up to a huge open space, down steps to the main floor where a banquet size dining room awaits. A sunken living room with gas fireplace is found just a few steps down from the dining area, both areas filled with light from picture windows looking out onto the huge deck and pool/spa area. The pool is an in-ground, recently converted saltwater pool, the spa is new and installed in the deck.
In an alcove off the dining area is a kitchen and breakfast bar with butcher-block counter tops stained to match the hardwood floors on the main level. Greenhouse windows cover the entire one wall of the kitchen looking out to trees, shrubs, and perennials just beyond.
Up the stairs from the kitchen, or from the hallway over the kitchen is another level dedicated to the master bedroom and bath, huge in size, including a double shower/vanity, sauna, large Jacuzzi, and built-in drawers and cabinets surrounding the king-sized built-in bed. Large horizontal windows overlooking the wooded grounds give tranquil serenity to the bedroom; a gas fireplace as well as a private deck add additional luxury. Ample closets exist in the bedroom and throughout the house.
At the front of the house and off the entry is a large private guest bedroom and bath, with double French doors opening onto a covered porch. The 9ft. ceiling is angled and there is an originally designed etched glass translucent window overlooking the entry level.
At the lower level are two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The larger bedroom had been converted into an office but this level of the house could have multiple purposes. An etched glass door separates the lower level from the main level. From the larger bedroom/office, an exterior door opens onto a lower deck with an outside shower. At the rear of the house is a wooden walkway and a separate deck platform for a retreat.
The double, detached garage is 24ft. by 24ft. with glass entry door under the breezeway, one side window, and glass French doors in the rear wall with a step down to the flagstone pathway moving around the rear of the house. Japanese maples, hydrangeas, butterfly bush, azalea, holly, and hosta surround the pathway.
This property is offered for sale by the owner-real estate agent for $429,900. Appointment-only viewings are accepted.
