La description
The stunning woodland views from virtually every room take center stage in this elegant Milton-style board and batten home. Located on a corner lot in the graceful Chatham section of Milton's Blue Valley, this exclusive gated section of Blue Valley offers private luxury; encore, it's just minutes from the farm to table restaurant 7 Acre Grill, Matilda's entertainment venue, baby Publix, and Scottdale Farms. It is near completion, and the builder/designer would be delighted to receive your input on the finish selections! After you proceed through the security gate, you are greeted with gas lantern-lined boulevards and impressive green spaces and views. You'll enter the home via the expansive front veranda, through the double front doors, or you may choose to enter through the breezy porte' cochere, which opens into the considerable custom crafted mudroom and kitchen area. The main level features a generous foyer, flanked by an office/library to the left, with a cedar coffered ceiling and floor to ceiling bookshelves. A lovely modern, open staircase is to the foyer right. The kitchen, central family room, dining area, vaulted keeping room and covered back veranda offer picture perfect views to the terrace level saltwater pool, spa, and vast wooded area behind the home. An oversized island and unexpected entrance to a sizable pantry/scullery kitchen (with a beverage chiller, microwave and ice maker) round out the custom chef's kitchen, complete with high-end stainless appliances and a six burner gas range. In the left wing of the main floor, the substantial primary bedroom suite, complete with vaulted ceiling and cedar cross beams, large primary bath, custom his and her closets and oversized laundry room with sink, has walk-out access to a covered porch overlooking the pool and backyard. A large guest suite with private bath is tucked adjacent to the kitchen at the right wing of the home, near the breezeway leading to the three-car garage. Adjacent to the mudroom is a large storage closet, designed for a future elevator. The upper level features three sizeable bedroom suites, each with private full baths, and one bedroom features a fun entrance to a private playroom. A second laundry room serves the upper floor. A media room and an enormous bonus room could each serve as a nanny/in-law suite, craft room or playroom; as both are accessible to a fourth hallway bath. A convenient refreshment center is located outside the media room/bonus room areas. The finished terrace level includes several common areas that could serve as a future home theater, (wiring installed), gym area, entertainment area, wine room, and a safe room that could double as a sports practice room. A large finished full bathroom with generous walk in shower includes a convenient locker room/pool changing area next to the gym. The terrace level opens to a saltwater pool, surrounded by a glass wall railing, which features waterfalls on the side wall, as well as a spa spillover. Other special features of note include 17 SEER HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, 50-year architectural shingles, space for a future elevator, spray foam insulation (think low utility costs), low voltage wiring with home automation features, smart home features and wiring for speakers inside and outside. For neighborhood fun, the Blue Valley community offers a well appointed clubhouse (with showers and changing rooms) community pool, walking trail, two ponds stocked with fish, and tennis - and it will soon have pickle ball courts. This Chatham enclave also offers the bonus of lower Cherokee taxes, as it is just across the street from Fulton County. Access to several nearby first class golf courses (The Manor, White Columns, Atlanta National, etc.) is available via a Club Corp membership. Please note that home renderings and floorplans are illustrative, and thus, may not precisely reflect the final result. We'd love to walk you through you this beautifully designed and well-appointed home.
