Originally built in 1900, this historic farmhouse is an extraordinary find offering the charm and character of a bygone era with the privacy, space, and updates that today’s buyers want. Tucked away on a beautifully landscaped 1.13-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac in the heart of Sandy Springs, you won't even see the home from the street. It’s hard to believe a property this private and special exists right in the middle of everything and it’s located in the highly sought after Heards Ferry Elementary School district. Inside, the home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. The renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring LG Signature appliances and beautiful finishes, while its open layout connects seamlessly to the dining room and spacious family room creating a wonderful flow for everyday living and entertaining. The main level also offers a convenient mudroom just off the carport, butler's pantry, large food and storage pantry and a dedicated office, along with plenty of room for family and guests. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, there’s space for everyone. But it’s the outdoors that truly sets this property apart. The expansive grounds feel like a private retreat, complete with a gunite pool, detached studio space, chicken coop, vegetable garden, mature fruit trees, and a large tool/storage shed. An operational well supplies water for the pool and irrigation, making it easy to enjoy and maintain the property’s many outdoor amenities. Gorgeous level expanse of a grassy front lawn family and the beautiful landscaping as it transforms with each season. Historic charm. Modern conveniences. Acreage. A pool. Privacy. Room to garden, create, play, and simply enjoy the outdoors, all in the heart of Sandy Springs. Properties like this rarely come along. This is truly a unicorn, and you don’t want to miss it.

Sandy Springs Itp, located between Buckhead and Dunwoody, is a river-adjacent and office-hub Sandy Springs neighborhood with wooded hillsides and a polished retail corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Roswell Road and Abernathy Road crossroads, where patios, chef-driven dining rooms, and boutique fitness studios line the blocks. Mid-century ranches and newer townhomes share streets that slope toward the Chattahoochee River parks. City Springs frames the civic scene with a performing-arts stage and an active green. The Battery Atlanta and Truist Park sit just west for big-event nights. Morgan Falls Overlook Park adds trails and water views that shape the daily rhythm.
