Property Description
Private Sandy Springs Estate on Nearly One Acre | Approved Expansion Potential | Minutes from Chastain Park Set behind a canopy of mature trees on nearly one private acre, this exceptional Chatham-built residence offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and future potential along prestigious Lake Forrest Drive. 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 4,200 square feet, the home features walnut hardwood floors, powered skylights, Kohler fixtures, painted cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan where every bedroom enjoys its own private ensuite bath. Expansive living spaces open through two sets of French doors into a light-filled sunroom overlooking the fully fenced backyard and wooded grounds with private walking trails. The terrace level offers a private walk-out guest or in-law suite complete with its own kitchen and separate entrance—ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private home office retreat, or potential supplemental income. A standout feature is the property's approved expansion potential. The City of Sandy Springs has approved plans to build upward and outward, creating a rare opportunity to significantly expand the residence while preserving the character and privacy of this estate-sized homesite. Additional highlights include an extra-large two-car garage, garden closet, utility room, abundant storage, updated surveys, and extensive drainage improvements. Properties offering this combination of nearly one acre, established privacy, quality construction, private guest accommodations, wooded walking trails, 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 along one of Sandy Springs' most desirable residential corridors.
