Architectural Excellence on Merton Road! Experience Morningside at its finest in this custom-built masterpiece on sought-after Merton Road. Designed by the renowned Frank Neely and meticulously crafted by Neil Johnson of Canonbury Homes, this one-owner residence is a rare fusion of limestone, granite, and slate. From the elegant porte-cochère to the copper gutters and lush professional landscaping, every detail signals a home of incomparable quality. The interior is a sanctuary of soaring ceilings and sophisticated textures. A grand foyer opens to an oversized dining room and a handsome private office, both anchored by bespoke fireplaces. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen—featuring double islands, hand-carved wood floors, and Ann Sacks tile—flows seamlessly into a beamed Great Room. Transition through the iron-glass sunroom to a breathtaking backyard oasis, where a heated pool, hot tub, putting green, and expansive covered porch with a fireplace offer the ultimate in private, year-round entertaining. The upper level is an architectural study in light and scale, boasting 10-foot domed ceilings and rich moldings. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath and a private terrace overlooking the grounds. Three additional ensuite bedrooms and a large laundry room occupy this level, while a private sixth guest suite is tucked away via its own dedicated staircase. The terrace level is a destination unto itself. With 10-foot ceilings, a high-end teak wet bar, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and a professional-grade movie room, it is the premier space for recreation. A dedicated home gym and direct pool access—complete with a changing area—ensure every modern convenience is met. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in Atlanta’s most coveted walkable neighborhood.
