1431 Hearst Drive NE

Nestled on one of Brookhaven's discreet and most sought after one-way streets, this custom-built estate exudes timeless elegance. Flickering glass lanterns cast a warm glow across the brick and hand-laid stone exterior, a thoughtful nod to the nearby Gothic architecture of Oglethorpe University. Beyond the double door entry, interiors unfold with exceptional scale and craftsmanship-soaring ceilings, bespoke millwork, and seamless open living spaces designed for both grand entertaining and intimate everyday living. No expense was spared in the design, featuring six spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath appointed with stone countertops and custom cabinetry, all thoughtfully arranged across three expansive levels. The heart of the home is the stunning chef's kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, including double dishwashers, an ice maker, and a wine chiller. An oversized island anchors the space, overlooking the breakfast area and family room, where a tongue-and-groove coffered ceiling and one of three stone fireplaces add warmth and character. French doors open to a covered deck that overlooks the professionally landscaped private backyard. The main-level primary suite is an indulgent retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath, a custom walk-in closet and French doors leading to the covered terrace, ideal for quiet morning coffee while taking in the sounds of nature. Upstairs, four en suite guest rooms each offer their own unique charm; some have sitting areas, and one features a ladder to a loft space that maximizes the vertical design. The three-sided daylight terrace level is equally impressive, offering a gym, bar, den, workshop, and a full guest suite-all with direct access to a thoughtful herringbone brick patio. Additional enhancements include tankless water heaters, spray foam insulation, and high-efficiency HVAC systems. A rare offering combining privacy, craftsmanship, and proximity- just moments to Brookhaven's top-rated schools, shopping, and dining.
