Set on over an acre in one of Johns Creek’s most established neighborhoods, this 5,000+ square foot home offers space, privacy, and a purposeful layout. Elevated from the street with custom landscaping, a wide front porch, and landscape lighting, the home makes a quiet but lasting first impression.

Inside, the great room draws your attention upward, 20-foot ceilings and a wall of mahogany-framed windows look out onto a timber-framed veranda and the wooded property beyond. The layout provides a natural flow, with hardwood floors throughout and a balance of open gathering areas and more intimate spaces.

More than just a showpiece, the kitchen is outfitted with commercial-grade appliances, copper farmhouse sinks, custom cabinetry, and expansive prep space. A large walk-in pantry with laundry hookups adds flexibility for one-level living, which continues in the main-level primary suite, complete with a sitting area, custom-built closet, and a well-appointed bath.

Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry room, and a bonus space that could serve as a playroom, studio, or flex office. The finished terrace level expands the home’s versatility with a secondary suite, kitchen, gym, theater, workshop, and game room, ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or entertaining on a larger scale.

The outdoor spaces are as considered as the interior. A covered veranda with stone flooring and hand-carved framing opens to a full outdoor kitchen, complete with a Big Green Egg, gas grill, fridge, and ice maker. Beyond, winding paths lead to a large stone fire pit with natural boulder seating, tucked under a canopy of mature trees and custom landscape lighting.

The home has been well maintained, with recent updates including fresh interior and exterior paint, an on-demand water heater, upgraded systems, and a new roof installed in 2023. Located just minutes from top-ranked schools, parks, river access, dining, and the Atlanta Athletic Club, this home sits in the heart of Johns Creek—recently named the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report.
