42 W Brookhaven Dr NE

Priced significantly below recent appraisal, this is a fabulous value for desirable Historic Brookhaven. By combining the adjacent lot with the existing property, 1.43+/-acres of level land ensues. Unique and elegant, the exterior grounds include a fabulous 75+ specimen rose garden, 2 inviting firepits & a pavilion with private views of the beautiful rear/adjacent waterfall. Plus, a large grotto with gas lanterns & a private bath, a greenhouse, wooded pathes & a refreshing, heated pool with playful arched jets. Several architectural follies are sprinkled across grounds: of note, a John Sander's sculpture. Built in the 1920s and completely renovated, expanded, and updated for today's lifestyle, the home is across from the Capital City Club golf course. Enter the home and a discreet sense of elegance and intimacy emerges. Deceptively large, enjoy open, light-filled, spacious rooms with high ceilings. The recent extension by Norman Askins includes a striking reading room with a heated, 2-story library with a mahogany spiral staircase & an elevator. With 4 indoor fireplaces, each room has a grand focal point. Kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, butler's pantry & opens to an impressive family room with wet bar. Master suite upstairs + three en suite bedrooms + laundry. Lower level offers a guest suite, a striking bar, a wine cellar, a living area, a sun-lit rec room, a woodshop & unfinished storage. New floor-to-ceiling steel windows & doors from a recent expansion - tons of light and dazzling backyard views. A 3-car garage & immense motor court offer great off-street parking. No matter the size, large/small, formal/informal - all gatherings are easily accommodated with the home's flexible use of space.
