Rivers Road is the finest residential location in Buckhead. This perfectly quiet, oak shaded southern street is truly walking distance from churches, shopping, schools and dining and somehow decades distant from the traffic, congestion and bustle of Peachtree Road. This finest of homes was built by Bob Merritt and designed by renowned architect Norman Askins. The home was further enhanced with an extensive renovation by the current owners with the help of Kevin Kleinhelter of K2 Construction, again using Norman Askins' office with Ross Piper as lead architect. Five bedrooms, six baths and two half baths provide plenty of space for your crowd. The magnificent glass and steel front door opens into an oval foyer with a view through to the beautifully landscaped back yard. Dining room, living room, library, den and kitchen with 11' ceilings are all filled with light pouring through insulated steel casement windows crafted by Georgia's own RG Ironworks. Take the stairs or elevator upstairs to the primary bed room and bath with three additional bedrooms with en-suite baths and 10' ceilings. The next level (also served by the elevator) is entirely finished with a full bath. This is the best playroom, office, wrapping, sewing, you-name-it room you can imagine, with tons of heated and cooled storage. Take the elevator or stairs to the lower level where you will find a theater, 1600+ bottle wine cellar, weight room, bar and pool room. The steel gated driveway opens on to a large flat turnaround perfect for basketball, or parking for guests. The garage is tandem and has plenty of room for 4 large automobiles. A glass paned door opens into the kitchen area that is so perfect it needs to be seen to fully appreciate. Mudroom, office, laundry room, eat in kitchen, butler's pantry and walk-in pantry. You can also take the stairs or elevator #2 up to a room over the garage that redefines the term "Bonus Room". Originally designed to accommodate the owner's avid sporting pursuits, it is paneled in natural white oak, has a 20' cathedral ceiling, full bath, huge closet and a walk-in safe. This is home is truly a sanctuary in the middle of Buckhead. Please call for an easy showing.
