La description
Words cannot adequately describe this home but if we had to choose, we would say: breathtaking. Custom built by Tuscany Builders in 2021 and designed by Dutch architect, Wanda de Jong (formerly Piet Boon), every 10,400 square foot is thoughtful and perfectly curated in this European style home. Stellar design has managed to capture warmth while still providing a scale of grandness. The custom details are endless here, the kitchen includes Poggenpohl cabinets, two islands, two dishwashers, hidden column freezer and fridge and a separate wine fridge. Beyond, the kitchen and living room features floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with views of the walk out backyard; a salt water infinity pool, pool cabana, a full pool bathroom and endless entertaining spaces. A gas fireplace separates the kitchen and large living room and the living room's side of the fireplace is covered with beautiful Mother of Pearls hand-sewn onto wooden panels with silk thread. The main floor also has an office at the front of the house, two half baths, a dog wash room (everyone needs one of these!), laundry room and a mudroom that leads to two separate garages (one 4-car, the other a 1-car garage). The private primary suite on the main floor includes two closets, dual sinks, and a large soaking tub and shower. This all overlooks the pool area and has a private outdoor space. A unique detail we adore in the primary bedroom is the wallpaper behind in the bed…it’s made of preserved and painted leaves. In the basement is a large movie-theater room, a home gym and a half bathroom. The home gym is plumbed if you needed to turn it into another bedroom and add a full bathroom. Upstairs is ideal for guests or additional family members — a second laundry room and four bedrooms each with their own private bathrooms. This home is truly one of a kind in the historic Druid Hills neighborhood located in the Clifton Ridge subdivision. This is a special segment of homes that sit on a cul de sac near the intersection of Clifton and Oxford. 1603 Clifton Ridge sits up high on a double lot of 1.3 acres — there’s nothing else like this one!
