3900 Randall Ridge Nw Rd Atlanta, Georgia 30327 MLS# 7548754
This expansive hilltop estate in the Randall Mill neighborhood is one of the most unique in Buckhead, and at over 1000 ft above sea level offers dramatic skyline views of Atlanta and beyond. The original home built for Maynard Smith in 1967 featured historical architectural elements, such as an indoor aviary built from the marquis of the Whitehead Building downtown, stunning wood inlaid floors from an Ansley Park mansion, and a truly spectacular carved walnut ceiling & double arched doors from an Italian castle. The AJC said in a 1967 article, "The Smith house is utterly fascinating in its intricate ideas, handsome decor and ingenious planning." Original 3-Bedroom home was generously expanded in 1985 & 2015. New wing added a 4-car garage and a main level bedroom suite + 3 new bedroom suites upstairs. The primary bedroom wing was expanded with new rooms on 2 floors. A modern kitchen opens to a 2-story family room with sweeping views, and a catering kitchen is tucked around the corner. Today it is an eclectic home with grand living spaces and a floorplan ideal for a large family or a king or queen looking for a new castle! With just a few updates, it can be even more glorious! Outdoor Spaces - Dramatic main gates open to a large brick motorcourt with room for several additional cars. A lovely gazebo provides a place to sit and mingle in the front yard. Recreational backyard has a multi-level pool terrace & multiple cozy seating areas from which to enjoy the views, and a separate pool bath with showers. Main Level - Beyond the grand foyer you will be awed by the 28'x48' great room with hand-carved walnut ceiling, inlaid walnut/oak floor, marble fireplace, and dramatic views overlooking the city through a wall of windows. The adjacent study features ornate wood paneling, extensive built-in book cases, and a classic wet bar. It begs for a cigar and a snifter of brandy. Two sets of glass-inlaid doors lead to the sun porch and a private office. The bright mirrored sun porch has double glass doors to the pool terrace. Double leaded glass doors lead from the dining room into the modern kitchen filled with natural light through the 2-story family room. The family room features banquette dining, a 2-story stacked-stone fireplace, and a show stopping spiral staircase. Double glass doors lead to a fireside outdoor living/dining area. Guest Wing - A guest wing includes a sitting room with wine closet, large private bedroom and full ensuite bath, second full kitchen with a breakfast area and private outdoor sitting area with pool and yard access. Primary Bedroom - The bedroom suite on the main level has a fireside sitting area, TWO full baths and walk in closet. The elegant second bath has a soaking tub next to a wall of windows that overlook a private atrium. A larger closet and dressing room round out this opulent space. Upper Bedroom Wing - 3 bedrooms and a family room occupy the space above the 4-car garage. The largest of the 3 Bedrooms could easily be a second main bedroom with space for a sitting room and 2 large closets. A library loft overlooks the family room and the kitchen. Gym Wing - A surprisingly large mirrored gym with full bath, sauna & shower occupies the majority of the space above the primary bedroom. A 6th bedroom is accessed from the gym and the full bath. This level also includes one of the largest cedar-lined closets we have seen! You really have to see this fabulous one of a kind home to experience what it has to offer. ** Home does need repairs and renovations, and is being sold AS-IS. It is a short sale-contracts require bank approval.
