Stunning Sandy Springs Home, Winterthur Estate, Now Available From Harry Norman, REALTORS®

Harry Norman, REALTORS® has expanded its incredible roster of luxury listings with a beautiful Sandy Springs estate, featuring an elegant Neo-Georgian home and 3.36 acres of land nestled on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Named Winterthur Estate for the exclusive neighborhood the property is located in, the home exemplifies a rare form of luxury and elegance, with both highly sought-after design features and amenities, including an elevator, full bar, and wine cellar, and unique additions, along with custom-designed pieces imported from France.

The 11,362-square-foot home was built in 1981, originally called “Magnolia Glen” by its first owners, presumably because of the two towering, mirroring Magnolia trees that picturesquely frame the home to this day. In the 2000s, the home was renovated by renowned Atlanta architectural firm Pak Heydt & Associates, the firm responsible for some of Atlanta’s finest homes. During the renovation, the house was taken down to the studs, and several areas were expanded in a project that took four years to complete.

Today, Winterthur Estate is a marvel as soon as you get a glance at the home's exterior, with its stunning pillars and beautiful upper-level balcony railings. The house itself sits far back from the road as an added level of privacy for residents, with a winding, brick-paved driveway leading to the large wooden double doors of the home. Through the entryway, visitors will find an ornate foyer, complete with a stunning chandelier, grand staircase featuring custom railing, and marble floors interlaced with walnut hardwoods.

To the left of the foyer, the home features a formal living room, with unique finishes like a custom stone fireplace, hand-chosen and imported from France by the owner. The formal living room, perfect for hosting intimate gatherings, leads to a tranquil study, featuring custom cherrywood paneling on the walls. The lower-level, left side of the home also features a bedroom and full bath, along with a short staircase that leads to what is known as the entertaining room. The entertaining room opens to the pool/outdoor area, and features tall, arched windows that emit beautiful natural light and give a full view of the outdoor area. The room has black and white tiled floors and an ornately designed, eye-catching ceiling. One of the most unique features of the home, the entertaining room also displays a full bar reclaimed from Copeland's, a historic ice cream and soda shop and pharmacy in Alabama.

To the right of the foyer, guests will find the formal dining room, with seating for 12+ guests. Nearby, the home includes yet another gem – a 1,000-bottle wine cellar featuring custom doors, providing a secure domain for a diverse collection of vintage wines. Guests will also find the kitchen and great room, both featuring hand-carved cherry paneled walls. The kitchen includes top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, dual paneled Sub-Zero refrigerators, expansive marble countertops, and a stunning colossal island, providing optimal luxurious living.

Outside, residents and their guests will enjoy a stunning backyard retreat, including a spacious covered outdoor entertainment area with a fireplace and plenty of room for seating. The backyard also boasts a gorgeous, heated saltwater pool, beautifully manicured greenery, an additional fireplace, and a built-in grilling station, making it an exceptional location for relaxing or hosting visitors for parties and events. Guests will also enjoy stunning views from the terrace area and direct access to the Chattahoochee River.

In total, Winterthur Estate features six bedrooms, seven full baths, and two half-baths, with each bedroom featuring spacious closets and comfortable, private en-suites. The primary suite features a vaulted bedroom with a beautiful fireplace, double closets and bathrooms, and a Juliet balcony with sweeping views of the Chattahoochee River. Two of the upper-level bedrooms feature access to a long, shared balcony, with room for rocking chairs or additional types of seating. Other notable features of the home include its stunning outdoor landscaping, fully functioning elevator, boat garage, and an above-garage room with a bathroom and padded floors, ideal for use as a personal gym.

Beyond the incredible features and amenities of the house, Winterthur Estate is ideally located, situated near scenic walking trails, the peaceful Chattahoochee River, top-rated schools, luxury shopping and dining, and Atlanta’s Truist Park. With 3.36 acres of gorgeous land and a home that represents the pinnacle of luxury, Winterthur Estate is a piece of paradise in the metro Atlanta area.
