A spectacular estate for sale in Atlanta’s desirable Buckhead district, this property combines an unusual craftsman execution with expanse, and is situated on about 2 acres of land.

The home is intended to bridge contemporary comfort with historical hand-made appeal, and to that end the designers have succeeded. Overall in the French Chateau style, the home and grounds express baroque sympathies, with the symmetry of the home’s façade flowing effortlessly into the grounds, giving the property an overarching motif of stability and control.

The details inside the main house accumulate into an overall statement of hands-on integrity, with abundant wood-tones throughout; ceilings and bannisters are rendered darkly natural, for an antique look that suggests comfort via tradition, and is intended as a response to more contemporary home design. The house is constructed of slate, and sandstone-look concrete.

The main house measures 15,172 square feet, with seven bedrooms and 10 full or partial baths. Its flow is classical beaux arts, a hierarchy beginning in the foyer and continuing to a living room with herringbone hardwood floor, paneled walls, and exposed beams.  There is a formal dining room with abundant glass, as well as a pantry, den and study.

The property exterior features baroque gardens and pool area, stone walking paths, and patios. There is also a basketball court.

This Atlanta estate is listed at $10 million.
