Welcome to your Sandy Springs retreat nestled in popular River Chase, in the Heards Ferry Elementary and Riverwood International Charter School district, just off Heards Ferry Road. This multi-level, low-country style home offers an unparalleled blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience, with a main house and a carriage house above the garage. In addition, an apartment on the terrace level with a separate entry makes an ideal au pair or in-law suite. Both buildings have been well-maintained and feature a new architectural roof and neutral paint. Perfect for nature lovers, Heards Creek runs through the front yard, creating a natural waterfall and leading to the Chattahoochee River, just a short walk from the house. Step onto your rocking chair porch, stroll across your private bridge, take the creekside trail, or swing in your gazebo to appreciate the mature landscaping of your wooded lot. From your front yard, you'll often spot herons, ducks, deer, and other wildlife. The picturesque, two-story carriage house features a bedroom, two full bathrooms, a nice sized kitchen, and living area. French doors off the living room lead to a porch overlooking the creek. Below the carriage house, an oversized garage can accommodate three cars and includes a workshop. Separate parking is available for the carriage house. Upon entering the main house via the elegant front stairway, you'll appreciate the abundance of natural light throughout the spacious rooms, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both open and bright. Hardwood floors exude timeless charm. At one end, a guest suite / home office offers views of the creek and a separate entrance onto the front porch. In the middle, an expansive great room beckons you to entertain, relax, and unwind. At the other end, a modern white kitchen features a large island, microwave drawer, 6-burner range, and induction cooktop. French doors off the kitchen connect indoor and outdoor living spaces. You can grill and dine al fresco on your covered deck, with outdoor steps going to the lower level. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with French doors leading to a wide balcony overlooking the creek, as well as two additional ensuite bedrooms, and a tucked-away laundry room. The primary suite features a recently enlarged walk-in closet. Enjoy this beautiful, friendly neighborhood with an optional HOA, where you can walk your dog, canoe, kayak, or fish to your heart's content. With sidewalks on both sides of the tree-lined street, just a 1-minute walk beside the stream brings you to the neighborhood tennis courts, pool, and exclusive access to the Chattahoochee River, while City Springs, Cochran Shoals Park, Buckhead, and Chastain Park are just minutes away, all without any City of Atlanta taxes. Award-winning Heards Ferry Elementary and Riverwood International Charter School, as well as Holy Innocents, Holy Spirit, Mount Vernon, and Galloway are within a few minutes' drive. Don't miss your opportunity to experience living in this exquisite swim/tennis community.
