Enter into warm, comfortable elegance overlooking the thirteenth fairway of the Marietta Country Club.  The welcoming front porch featuring hand cut tile and mahogany shutters is only a taste of what awaits inside.

Detailed trim and crown molding greet you in the foyer and this theme is carried throughout.  Flanking the foyer to the right is the library that offers built-in bookcases with inlaid elm accents and custom milled paneling.  The secluded humidor is but one of the surprises.

Brazilian cherry floors provide just the right tone, continuing into the grand room and throughout the main level living areas, staircases and upper level loft.  As you pass the dramatic three-story spiral staircase, you are ushered into the grand room that holds extraordinary detail in the bookcases and 22 foot coffered ceiling that gives great depth to the space.  Hand-turned columns support the fireplace mantle that is accented with elm inlays that are a work of art.  Beyond the wall of windows are the upper terrace and views of the thirteenth fairway of the Marietta Country Club.  This dramatic space presents a wonderful gathering area before you enter the more informal areas of the home.

Formal space includes a dining room fit for any banquet and a buffet serving area with spacious counters and convenient access.  Filled with natural light, the dining room is the perfect spot for holiday dinners and special meals.   

Beyond the serving area is the fanciful mud room for family entry.  On the way to the open and pleasant kitchen you will find a main level au-pair suite, the laundry room that is served by a chute from the upper level, and a custom shelved walk-in pantry.

Arriving in the kitchen you have found the perfect family gathering spot.  The chef will enjoy more than ample counter space as well as a full complement of superior appliances that blend into the warm cabinets with custom wood facings. Bar seating that runs the length of the counter, an island prep area with a vegetable sink, dual dishwashers and an ice-maker are but a few of the highlights. The centerpiece of the kitchen is present in the stone surround for the cook-top.

Flowing perfectly from the kitchen is the vaulted, fireside keeping room and breakfast area.  Warmed by the stone fireplace, the keeping room is a relaxing space as you gather before a meal or for conversation afterward.  The octagonal trey ceiling in the breakfast area offers detail to this casual dining area that is brightened by natural light and the view beyond to the upper terrace and golf course.

Access to the covered porch and upper terrace is available through the keeping room and allows for great flow for entertaining or the opportunity to unwind and enjoy the outdoors prior to a family meal.

Privately located on the main level, the owner’s suite is the perfect combination of convenience and luxury.   The dramatic trey ceiling is highlighted with custom lighting and rich detail.  Entering the bath you are welcomed by heated tile floors, bright open space and true his and hers features.  With highlights including a whirlpool tub, a custom, multi-head shower and humidity control, it is truly your own private spa.  His and hers closets hold custom cabinetry and built-ins and the morning kitchen allows for that perfect cup of coffee, or a late night snack without a trip to the kitchen.

The dramatic spiral staircase provides access to the upper level loft area that flows gracefully to two king-sized family bedroom suites and a guest bedroom wing.  The upper level is completed by a bonus room that serves as the perfect study or game area.  Walk up access is available for systems maintenance and attic space.  A less obvious feature is the encapsulated insulation throughout the home that adds to the overall energy efficiency.  An additional staircase accesses the main level and enters the serving area adjacent to the dining room.

Descending to the terrace level you enter the perfect spot for all of your entertaining.  Holding a marvelous great room, 12 seat home theater, game room and elegant bar, your guests will enjoy tremendous space.  Custom built-ins and features in the great room rival the formal main level areas.  Enjoy pool or other table games in the recreation room and grab a snack at the concession stand that also serves the theater.  Get right in the middle of the action in one of 12 integrated, leather theater seats that include sound and surround you in comfort.  Dedicated equipment space is located at the rear of the theater.  A full bath also serves the terrace level.

The highlight of the terrace level is the elegant and engaging pub style bar.  Bar seating for eight, relaxing table seating and inviting detail rival what you would find in any fine restaurant.  Full service is available via service stairs that access the main level garage.

Access to the lower terrace is offered from the bar and game room allowing for easy flow for outdoor events.  Wonderful outdoor space is available on the terraces that flow down to an additional level that offers superb views of the golf course and lake beyond.
