A stately brick residence architect Frank Betz planned for himself. Designed to host unforgettable parties or serve as a serene private retreat, the home masterfully balances sophisticated entertaining with seamless everyday living, incorporating numerous thoughtful details that anticipate daily needs most homeowners would never imagine. A generous front porch welcomes you with Southern grace. The front door is a striking statement piece of kiln-cast glass, offering delicate hand-crafted quality, artisanal depth, and light play. The grand two-story foyer presents a classic enfilade that opens directly onto the multi-terraced outdoor living space, anchored by a three-tiered cascading pool enveloped in meticulously landscaped beds and refined brickwork. Adjacent to the foyer, the library features a fireplace and a second-story mezzanine catwalk, introducing warmth and rich contrast to the entrance. Bespoke custom millwork with a prominent egg and dart raised relief and a dramatic gold leaf medallion crown the dining room drawing the eye upward. A scullery-style butler’s pantry with ample cabinetry and workspace, connects the dining room to a chef’s kitchen outfitted with all top-of-the-line appliances. Traditional elegance is enhanced by exposed brick, a copper-patina range hood, crisp white countertops, and cabinetry. Thoughtfully planned details include an appliance-free bump-out creating a dedicated prep space, a large walk-in pantry, a breakfast bar, and an informal dining area overlooking the terraces. An intricate diamond lattice frieze on the molding continues into the primary bedroom. This main level suite is flooded with natural light, while custom electronic blackout shades ensure total darkness for restful sleep. Hardwood floors flow into the primary bath, providing a soft contrast to the marble tile. Recent renovations include a spacious steam shower, heated floors, and a luxurious Ferguson spa tub. An office with two glass walls—one overlooking the terraced outdoor space and the other opening to the heart of the home—keeps the workspace bright and integrated. Brass handrails add subtle luster ascending the staircase and as the sole entrance to the library’s catwalk. Two upstairs bedrooms open onto private terraces with warm terra-cotta tiles and white balustrades, offering a Mediterranean-inspired escape with panoramic treetop views. A third bedroom features a newly added ensuite bath that rivals most primary suites, complete with a steam shower and luxurious marble tile. The fourth bedroom is spacious and ideal as an au pair suite. The garden level is a pure entertainment destination, offering a putting green, media room, living area, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for over 500 bottles. At the center stands a magnificent mahogany bar with a high-gloss finish, intricate carvings, and ornate corbels that echo the refined elegance of old-world clubs. The bar is fully equipped with a beer tap, two dishwashers, two refrigerator drawers, a warming drawer, convection oven, and ice maker. This home also includes a discreet 200-square-foot safe room. Located in East Cobb in the prestigious Paper Mill corridor.
