The Crown Jewel of Dunwoody Club Forest! Completely taken down to the studs and reimagined in 2004, this spectacular home nearly doubled in size with more than 3,000 square feet added across three levels. Featured in Dunwoody's Showcase of Homes in 2006, it has since undergone another stunning transformation in the past three years resulting in a one-of-a-kind "farmhouse edgy" style that is both fresh and timeless. Every corner of this home radiates character and charm you won't find anywhere else in Dunwoody. Perfect for entertaining, the heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, seamlessly open to the family room and flowing onto a screened porch with a cozy fireplace. A formal dining room connects directly to the wraparound covered porch, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The elegant formal living room features extensive millwork and opens to a secondary seating area with its own fireplace—ideal for gatherings or quiet relaxation. The oversized mudroom is a showstopper on its own complete with abundant storage, a double farm sink, and even an additional half bath. The vaulted primary suite is a true retreat, featuring exposed beams, a stained wood accent wall, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities topped with honed quartzite counters, two custom walk-in closets, a jetted soaking tub, and separate shower. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms all with en-suite baths, plus a dedicated office and even a hidden "secret room" tucked behind a bookcase. The terrace level is designed for fun and function, offering a large rec room with kitchenette, guest suite with new walk-in closet, an additional bedroom or workout space, and the unforgettable "Barn Room" with tin roof and wide-plank floors perfect for game nights and gatherings. Set on a desirable corner lot of a cul-de-sac street, this property wows from the outside in, with a wraparound covered porch, fresh backyard turf, and new sod. A three-car garage provides plenty of space including room for a golf cart to take straight to neighboring Dunwoody Country Club. This is not just a home it's a lifestyle, and it's unlike anything else on the market.
