Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Huntcliff's most distinctive and thoughtfully curated residences. Originally designed and built by architect William Simpson as his personal family home, this exceptional property is now offered by only its second owner, a testament to its timeless design, enduring quality, and remarkable livability. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot in one of Sandy Springs' most coveted neighborhoods, the home immediately captivates with its expansive front porch, rich architectural character, and warm, welcoming presence. Throughout the home, exposed beams, natural textures, warm tones, and carefully crafted details create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and comfortable. The foyer and rear hallway feature recycled brick flooring believed to have been salvaged from a historic elementary school, adding another layer of history and character to this one-of-a-kind residence. Every room tells a story, while extensive renovations and upgrades have brought the home completely up to today's standards without sacrificing its original charm. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an opening to the keeping room, creating connectivity and warmth throughout the main living spaces. Just beyond, a spacious scullery provides abundant storage and a dedicated prep area, which is ideal for caterers and effortless entertaining. The home's thoughtful layout offers multiple inviting spaces for guests to gather and connect. The main-level primary suite provides a private retreat, complemented by a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath featuring a stunning marble soaking tub imported from Vietnam. Upstairs, a second potential primary suite serves as a luxurious private retreat with its own spa-inspired bath, offering exceptional comfort, privacy, and flexibility for guests.In total, the home offers four bedrooms and multiple renovated baths, all thoughtfully designed by prominent Atlanta designer Jane Hollman, whose vision transformed the residence into the move-in-ready showpiece it is today. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. Expansive patios, multiple seating and dining areas, a fire pit, grilling spaces, walkways, irrigation, and mature landscaping create an outdoor oasis designed for year-round enjoyment. Whether hosting dozens of guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the trees, the setting is unforgettable. The current owners have maintained the property with extraordinary care and attention to detail. Significant improvements include a renovated kitchen, primary bath, guest baths, office, and powder room; crawlspace encapsulation and dehumidification; upgraded insulation, vents, and filtration; tankless water heater; whole-house water filtration system; custom built sauna; replacement HVAC systems; updated electrical systems; replacement windows, exterior doors, gutters, garage doors, lighting, and driveway; epoxy garage floors; invisible dog fence; split-rail fencing; septic drain field replacement; and extensive outdoor hardscaping enhancements.

Located within Huntcliff, one of Sandy Springs' most treasured communities, residents enjoy a unique lifestyle surrounded by nature along a 4.5-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River. The community amenities include the Huntcliff River Club with swimming, tennis, equestrian facilities, and social activities. Many residents also enjoy membership opportunities at the adjacent Cherokee Town and Country Club. With only two owners since its construction, a celebrated architectural pedigree, award-worthy renovations, and an unmatched level of care, this is far more than a house. it is a legacy property.
