1790 Garraux Road NW

If you're looking for a special home with old world charm and craftsmanship on a spectacular flat piece of property, this is it! 1790 Garraux Road combines the relaxed atmosphere of country living with easy access to Buckhead amenities. It is just minutes away from sought-after private and public schools, the best shopping, and I-75 and I-285. Thomas Little, one of the original Colonial Williamsburg architects, designed a major renovation and expansion that was completed in 1963. At that time, a quaint library was added on the first floor with a fireplace, while a dressing room and a large walk-in closet were added off of the primary bedroom upstairs. On the other side of the house, additions included a new full bath, a breakfast room and wet bar next to the kitchen, and a magnificent family room with a vaulted ceiling and fireplace. This new area, as well as the rest of the house, boasts great storage. Other noteworthy features include a wrought iron and brick fence on the front of the property, a generator, a pool, a screened-in porch with a gas grill and a large lot which can be used for several different activities at the same time. The cobblestone driveway leading to the front of the home is next to the rear brick drive providing several off-street parking places. The same family has occupied the home since it was completed. The home is part of an informal neighborhood homeowners association which provides security and organizes different group activities.
