Designed for those who value both connection and retreat, the home blends refined elegance with unexpected amenities that are nearly impossible to find this close to the city. Wake up in a peaceful, tree-lined enclave and enjoy coffee on your screened porch, surrounded by curated landscaping-while still being minutes from top-tier dining, parks, and Morningside Village. Host intimate dinner parties or large-scale celebrations with ease, thanks to open-concept spaces that flow effortlessly from formal dining to fireside lounging to outdoor entertaining. Inside, the home surprises and delights at every turn. A hidden-paneled wall leads to a private speakeasy-style bar. A Control4 smart system sets the mood with integrated audio both indoors and out. With over 6,800+/- square feet of finished space, there's room for everyone, with multiple bedroom suites, dual laundry rooms, and a grand, finished daylight terrace level with 12" ceilings and a full gym. The expansive backyard offers the flexibility to add a pool-an exceptional opportunity in this neighborhood. This is not just another Morningside home. It's an incredibly rare combination of scale, sophistication, and serenity-something truly special in one of Atlanta's most beloved neighborhoods. *Select photos have been virtually staged to show outdoor pool and patio.*
