Set on over an acre and a half along the Chattahoochee River, this stately Federal-style residence was modeled after the historic Davenport House in Savannah and offers rare, unobstructed river views and an exceptional, fully flat backyard. The grounds are truly special, featuring a swimming pool surrounded by bluestone, a beautiful courtyard with fountain, and a charming riverside outbuilding with dedicated canoe storage. The setting is peaceful and private, with expansive sightlines to the river that are unmatched by surrounding properties. The home's main level is designed with both elegance and livability in mind. A large formal dining room connects directly to the kitchen, creating an ideal layout for entertaining. The kitchen, sunroom, and primary bath were thoughtfully redesigned by architect Norman Askins, blending classic architectural detail with everyday functionality. The kitchen is centered around a substantial island with generous workspace, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, and opens naturally to the sun-filled breakfast room. The adjoining sunroom is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling iron-framed windows with French doors leading to the covered porch. From the kitchen, sunroom, and wood-paneled family room, there are sweeping views of the river, reinforcing the home's strong connection to its setting. The main level also includes a wood-paneled family room with a fireplace that opens directly to the porch, as well as a second light-filled living space at the front of the home. The covered porch is a true extension of the main level, offering ample room for both seating and dining while overlooking the flat backyard and river beyond. It provides an ideal space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the surrounding grounds. The second level features a spacious primary suite with peaceful river views, window bench seating, a large walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath with separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a thoughtfully placed laundry room offers ample storage and everyday convenience. The secondary bathroom on this level includes a steam shower. The third level adds two more bedrooms, each with large walk-in closets and a shared bath, providing flexible space for guests, offices, or additional living needs. The terrace level expands the home's living space with a daylight-filled living area featuring a fireplace and walk-out access to the backyard and river beyond. With an additional bedroom and full bath, this level is well suited for a guest or in-law suite, offering privacy while maintaining easy access to the main living areas and outdoor grounds. Set within the Winterthur community of Sandy Springs, the neighborhood is known for its estate-sized properties, Chattahoochee River access, and quiet streets without through traffic. Despite its private setting, the location offers convenient access to major highways, Truist Park, and a wide range of well-regarded public and private schools. Together, the setting, land, and classic architecture create a truly distinctive offering.
