2018 Glacier Drive

This house is effortlessly cool. It has space for everyone and everything. It is peaceful and gracious and deeply, quietly livable — the kind of place where good things happen, because the architecture invites them to. There are neighborhoods and then there are communities. Smoke Rise was built in the 60s, 70s, and 80s by people who had figured a few things out — doctors, lawyers, architects — who wanted a gracious life close to the city without the city's noise. The bones of this place reflect that ethos: unhurried, considered, built to last. The house is a Mid-Century Modern brick beauty, and it wears it naturally — not as an aesthetic posture, but because that's simply what it is. Vaulted, beamed ceilings. Giant picture windows that pull the outside in, flooding every room with the kind of honest natural light you can't fake with fixtures. The floors on the main level are original vintage parquet — the good stuff, warm and storied — with new carpet in the bedrooms where it counts. Walk through the front door into a grand foyer with soaring ceilings and skylights and you immediately understand what this house is about: space, light, and the quiet confidence of a place that doesn't need to try too hard. The layout is generous in all the right ways. A home office lined with built-in bookshelves for the person who actually reads. Two spare bedrooms and a full bath for guests who will, in fact, overstay their welcome. A massive master suite with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a sliding glass door that opens directly into the sunroom — because mornings should be that good. About that sunroom: it seats 40 for dinner. Not as a boast — just as a fact. It opens directly onto the main level outdoor terrace, which means a dinner party flows the way a dinner party should, from kitchen to table to terrace to whatever comes next. The fireside living and dining space overlooks the green surroundings and completes a main floor that functions, quietly and brilliantly, as one of the best entertaining homes you'll walk through this year. The backyard is enclosed by a gorgeous stone wall with custom wood gates — private without being forbidding, beautiful without being fussy. Over an acre on a corner lot, which means room to breathe, room to garden, room to do absolutely nothing. The finished daylight walk-out basement is its own world: two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a fireside living room, a second laundry room that could become a kitchen, multiple flex spaces, and a workshop with built-in benches for the person who makes things. Use it for multigenerational living, long-term guests, a proper studio, or a teenager who needs their own zip code. The options are genuinely plentiful. A semi-circle front driveway that looks like it belongs to the house (it does), a two-car attached garage, and a location that hits all the marks: Rosenfeld Park — with a pool, playground, and pickleball and tennis courts run by the City of Tucker — is walkable. No HOA dues. Smoke Rise Golf and Country Club is close. Main Street Tucker, with its restaurants, shops, and a brand new community green space, is a stone's throw. Zoned for Smoke Rise Elementary, a Cognia STEM certified school, Tucker Middle School and Tucker High School, which has an International Baccalaureate (IB) program.
