About this home
Private Sandy Springs Estate on Nearly One Acre | Approved Expansion Potential | Minutes from Chastain Park
Set behind a canopy of mature hardwoods on one private acre, this exceptional Chatham-built residence offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and future potential along prestigious Lake Forrest Drive. Just minutes from Chastain Park, Buckhead, City Springs, premier dining, shopping, top-rated schools, and major business centers, the location balances tranquility with everyday convenience.
Offering more than 5,200 square feet, the home features walnut hardwood floors, powered skylights, Kohler fixtures, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan where every bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bath. Expansive living spaces flow into a light-filled sunroom overlooking the fully fenced backyard and the maintained wooded grounds.
The terrace level includes a private-entry guest or in-law suite, ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a home office retreat, or supplemental income opportunities.
A standout feature of the property is its approved expansion potential. The City of Sandy Springs has approved plans to build upward, providing a rare opportunity to significantly expand the residence while preserving the character and privacy of this estate-sized homesite.
Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage, abundant storage, original and updated surveys, extensive drainage improvements.
Properties offering this combination of nearly one acre, established privacy, quality construction, guest accommodations, and approved expansion potential are increasingly difficult to find inside the perimeter. Whether enjoyed as it stands today or enhanced into a larger custom estate, this is a rare opportunity in one of Sandy Springs' most desirable luxury corridors....
