About this home
Every so often, a home comes to market that cannot be explained by its features alone. It is the feeling of arriving through a private gate to your own piece of the Chattahoochee. It is the knowledge that Atlanta Athletic Club, Wesleyan School, top-rated schools, and The Forum are all moments away, yet the setting feels a world apart. Some things simply cannot be built, they can only be found. That is 5295 Chelsen Wood Drive.
The private gate. The sweeping motor court. The home that rises to meet you. Its grand presence is not by accident. A full daylight basement, a rarity among riverfront properties on the Chattahoochee, gives this estate a scale and stature all its own. Inside, a grand two-story foyer sets the tone immediately. A custom-welded iron staircase curves gracefully upward above gleaming heart of pine hardwoods, the first of many artisan moments that define this remarkable home.
The completely renovated main level showcases impeccable craftsmanship throughout, including Kingdom Woodworks custom cabinetry in the kitchen, scullery, laundry room, primary bath, and mudroom. Curated lighting by Visual Comfort and Made Goods is found throughout, adding warmth and artistry to every space. Three Francois & Co limestone fireplaces anchor the main living spaces, each a sculptural work of art. The chef's kitchen is crowned by the Francois & Co custom Millenia hood in cold cast pewter and metallic brass, a statement piece as stunning as it is functional, complemented by Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, two Cove dishwashers, and a dramatic quartzite island. The scullery continues the elegance with its own quartzite countertops, custom stainless steel and brass sink, AKDO tile backsplash, and custom cabinetry, a fully equipped secondary workspace designed for seamless entertaining.
The dramatic slate-paneled study with coffered cathedral ceilings and built-ins is a room unto itself, and conceals a hidden door leading to a private bar, one of the home's most delightful surprises. The keeping room soars with cathedral ceilings and a fluted limestone fireplace, opening seamlessly to multiple outdoor living spaces.
The main-level primary suite offers a private custom marble fireplace, balcony, and a spa bath with Bain Ultra freestanding air tub, frameless shower, and dual Kingdom Woodworks vanities, all finished in marble with AKDO tile floors and designed with extraordinary attention to detail. The primary closet is a room unto itself, with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry and arched display niches.
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each enjoy their own private en suite bath. One bedroom functions beautifully as a nanny or guest suite, complete with its own private entrance and dedicated staircase leading directly to the main level off the garage, offering both privacy and flexibility for multi-generational living or live-in help.
The terrace level delivers resort-caliber entertaining: a full second kitchen, billiards room, and multiple fireplaces that make every gathering warm and inviting. A dedicated theater room offers endless possibilities, whether reimagined as a screening room, home gym, studio, or private retreat, the space is a blank canvas ready for its next chapter. The 1,800-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar is a room you won't want to leave, dramatic, moody, and perfectly suited for the collection it was made to house.
Outside, a freeform pool and spa, stone outdoor kitchen, screened porch, and sweeping upper veranda overlooking the Chattahoochee River corridor complete a property that is as exceptional outdoors as it is within.
Some homes are beautifully renovated. This one, at nearly 11,000 square feet, is irreplaceable....
