5300 Old Hundred Lane

Some properties list features. This one lives them. Set on a private, fully landscaped acre in the heart of Sandy Springs' most coveted corridor, 5300 Old Hundred Lane is a rare English manor estate that delivers scale, character, and irreplaceable outdoor living that simply cannot be replicated in today's new construction market. The English manor garden - featured in Atlanta area garden tours - is a living, breathing asset. Long Island Creek meanders through the property. Mature trees frame every view. The slate-floored upper terrace with its stone-column pergola and ceiling fans becomes the center of every gathering from May through October. Step inside through the stained-glass double entry doors and the scale of this home announces itself immediately. A grand two-story foyer opens to hardwood floors that run the full length of all three finished levels. Ten-foot ceilings on every floor. Coffered ceilings. Crown molding throughout. Three fireplaces - including a gas fireplace in the primary suite sitting area. The gourmet kitchen is built for real entertaining. Gas cooktop, double ovens, granite counters, custom white cabinetry, and a center island that opens directly into the panoramic Carolina Room - the seamless indoor-outdoor flow that every serious entertainer looks for and rarely finds. Downstairs, a custom wine cellar and a fully equipped secondary kitchen with its own laundry make this home as functional as it is beautiful. Multigenerational living, guest suites, or simply the kind of hosting that doesn't require anyone to go upstairs - all of it is here. The primary retreat is its own destination. A sitting room with gas fireplace. His and hers luxury walk-in closets with island. A spa bath featuring a jacuzzi tub, three-head steam shower, and double vanity. The kind of space that makes Sunday mornings worth staying home for. At $234 per square foot in a market currently closing at $374 per square foot, this is the most compelling value proposition in 30327. Eight thousand nine hundred forty-nine square feet of this - on a full acre - for $1,999,000. The schools: Heards Ferry Elementary, Ridgeview Charter Middle, and Riverwood International Charter High School with its IB program. The strongest K-12 pipeline in Fulton County, all within two miles. The location: Chastain Park 0.8 miles. Buckhead Village 1.2 miles. Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square 2.1 miles. GA-400 and I-285 under two miles. Everything Atlanta offers - none of the noise. This is not a home for everyone. It is a home for the buyer who understands the difference between square footage and character - and recognizes that character, once gone, cannot be rebuilt. Private showings only.
