Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Oak Grove, this all-brick and stone estate feels like one of those rare finds - substantial in scale, timeless in design, and thoughtfully built. A new home that feels old world. Inside, the home unfolds with intention. A dramatic two-story foyer opens to a custom library with rich built-ins - the ideal work-from-home space. Opposite, a beautifully scaled flex room offers options: formal entertaining, a music room, layered lounge space - whatever suits your rhythm. There's a main-level guest suite with a full bath, plus an elevator connecting all three floors, making the home as functional as it is refined. The kitchen is expansive and designed to anchor the home - oversized island with seating, professional-grade range, walk-in pantry - all positioned to flow seamlessly into the surrounding gathering spaces. Just beyond, the family room deserves its own moment. Framed by signature arched bay windows and anchored by a fireplace, it's generous yet inviting - layered with built-ins and natural light. This is where everyone settles in. Upstairs, the owner's wing is its own retreat - private and serene, with a sitting room, fireplace, built-ins, and a bar for morning coffee or evening wine. The marble bath leans spa-like with soaking tub, double shower, and dual closets. Four additional bedrooms and a large laundry room complete the level with space and ease. The terrace level feels nothing like a basement. With 10-foot ceilings and the same arched windows found upstairs, it lives as a seamless extension of the home. A full kitchen and bar, recreation and billiards area, separate family room, home gym, dedicated theater, guest suite with full bath, plus a half bath designed specifically for pool access. It's expansive, bright, and built for real entertaining. And then you step outside. The backyard is truly resort-inspired - a zero-entry pool with walk-in feature, professional landscaping, layered patios, screened porch, sun deck, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a grill and dining area. It's private, polished, and made for every season out here - long summer swims by day, string lights and something on the grill by evening, then fall settling in with sweaters on the porch and dinner lingering long after the sun's gone down. The flow from indoors to out is effortless. In Oak Grove - one of Atlanta's most beloved, green, and community-driven neighborhoods - opportunities like this rarely come along. Use the walking path at the end of the cul-de-sac for a short stroll to Oak Grove Elementary and Oak Grove Village, with parks, playgrounds, pools and restaurants. Minutes to Emory, CDC, CHOA, and I-85 - yet it feels peaceful, green, and connected. The kind of neighborhood where people wave, jog in the mornings, and linger outside in the evenings.
