A country estate with 8.71 acres just a few miles from I-85. Lot has potential for additional family homes or space for horses and pasture. The long driveway through the woods leads to the 6,200 plus square feet brick with white trim Queen Anne style home with wrap-around porch. The home, built in 1988, has 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, 4 fireplaces (3 of which are wood burning) and a large swimming pool surrounded by a bluestone patio. Roof was replaced in 2016. A custom chicken coop with antique windows was built several years ago. The 3 1/2 stall garage has an unfinished in-law suite overhead which features 4 dormer windows and is stubbed with plumbing. A covered walkway from the garage leads to the side door of the house. Inside is a vintage style white kitchen with glass front cabinets and bar sink. Hardwood floors, beautiful crown molding and 12 foot tall ceilings throughout the first floor make the home feel spacious. The family room boasts an oversize brick fireplace and gazebo style dining area. The living room is impressive with floor to ceiling windows and a wide brick fireplace that goes all the way to the top of the 20 foot ceiling. An enclosed porch with two walls of windows and tile floor is a great place to enjoy the smell of honeysuckle and watch for birds. The dining room and foyer have beautiful cut glass chandeliers and full length windows. Master bedroom features a propane fireplace with antique mantel. It has three full length windows and the front window has an ornate transom overhead. A short hallway leads to two walk in closets and an oversize bathroom. There is a door opening to the back patio. A paneled study with built in bookcases is off the living room and would make a great home office. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs along with a closed in porch featuring two walls of windows. The front bedrooms have large bay windows overlooking the front yard and woods. The staircase to the finished basement makes two turns and boasts Trompe-l’oeil painted blocks and winding vines. There you will find a French style café complete with antique bar and restaurant style tables and chairs. A local artist painted a beautiful mural and three “windows” are framed and painted with scenes from a French garden. There are glass shelves over the small bar sink and microwave. However, the real eye-catcher is the theater room with drop down screen and projector to show all your favorite movies and television shows. A large family style craft room or bedroom with three windows and door to the outside includes a full bath and closet. There is also a brick fireplace. A separate heating and air conditioning unit is set up for the basement. This home has had one owner in 34 years. Your dream home awaits in Suwanee!
