| Notes: |
Nestled on what the original developer coined "the best lot in the neighborhood" on a wide, tree-lined street in the heart of Sandy Springs rests this refined brick interpretation of English Regency architecture popular in the early part of the 19th century. That period saw a renewed interest in classical Greek design and ideology that inspired the form and composition of both residential and commercial buildings alike. Those characteristics are reflected in the facade of this captivating mid-century two-story via the simple, symmetrical facade; floor-to-ceiling windows; the parapet concealing the roof; and the elegant crescent-shaped entryway framed by classic columns. Step through double French doors into a proper two-story foyer where a sweeping staircase defined by a curved wrought iron handrail also evokes the Regency style. On one side of the foyer, you'll find a private office that overlooks the expansive front yard and affords easy access to a beautifully renovated powder room while, on the other side of the foyer, a huge fireside living room/dining room spans the depth of the house and affords direct access to the flat, walk-out backyard. At the heart of the home, no detail was overlooked in the thoughtfully renovated, open-concept kitchen. High-end custom Karpaty cabinets with a plethora of integrated features line the walls of both the kitchen and the breakfast area providing tons of storage and functionality, such as a built-in desk, concealed TV cabinet and backlit bar with antiqued mirror backsplash. A center island is the perfect place to grab a quick bite while a beautiful built-in banquette with additional storage offers a comfortable spot for informal family meals. Double French doors opening to the pool deck make indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze and fill the kitchen with light regardless of the season. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy fireside den provides a desired second living space on the main level and leads to a separate mudroom, second powder room (or pool bath) and a huge laundry room that can double as a home management center. At the top of the curved staircase, a light-filled landing with two closets separates the primary suite from the three secondary bedrooms. The primary suite includes dual closets and a renovated ensuite featuring a large, glass-enclosed shower with built-in seat and product niche. Like the kitchen, the secondary bathroom features Karpaty cabinetry housing ample storage and double sinks. The partially finished basement with exterior access is easily transformed into the extra space of your dreams- whether it be play, rec, media, exercise and/or additional work from home, or transform it into a large nanny or in-law suite. Once you've fallen in love with the inside, step outside into a true backyard oasis featuring a glimmering heated, saltwater pool as its crown jewel. The Pebbletec pool is overlooked by multiple seating areas including a beautiful new pergola that is seasonally covered with gorgeous Wisteria, offering a little respite from the summer heat. But while so often if you get a pool, you have to give up a yard, here you get both! This private backyard offers plenty of room leftover for play as well as two vego garden beds for planting. This home is more than just a living space; it’s a lifestyle. With its thoughtful design, impressive features, and beautiful outdoor amenities, 75 River Park Drive presents a unique opportunity to experience laid-back-luxury, comfort and privacy all in one. And because of its incredible location, you can enjoy all of this within minutes of multiple world-class shopping, dining and entertainment destinations such as Sandy Springs City Center, Perimeter Center or Downtown Roswell as well as access to a multitude of parks and trails like the Abernathy Greenway and the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area.
