About this home
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated one-acre Chattahoochee riverfront home in the highly sought-after Thornhill community of Johns Creek. Nestled on a gorgeous, tree-lined lot with tranquil river views, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of natural beauty, refined design, luxury finishes, and a more manageable low-maintenance lifestyle in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Thoughtfully designed for comfortable everyday living, the home features a light-filled open floor plan, expansive windows, and inviting spaces that capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The professionally renovated kitchen is a true standout, appointed with premium LEICHT German cabinetry, sleek high-end finishes, and seamless flow into the main living areas, creating a sophisticated yet easy-to-live-in atmosphere throughout.
The main-level primary suite offers true everyday convenience and serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a spa-inspired marble bath featuring heated marble floors, Jacuzzi tub, and steam shower. Every detail of the home reflects quality, comfort, and thoughtful design for buyers who value a refined lifestyle without the upkeep of a much larger property.
Additional highlights include hardwood flooring, custom California Closets, whole-home audio, integrated smart-home technology, updated garage doors, EV charger, and a 3-car garage. Extensive improvements throughout the property reflect exceptional care, quality, and attention to detail.
Outdoor living is equally special. The extended, screened porch overlooks the Chattahoochee River and provides a beautiful setting for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront surroundings. The walk-out backyard leads directly to the river, offering a unique lifestyle opportunity rarely found in Johns Creek.
Professionally landscaped grounds include a heated greenhouse, fruit trees, and remaining rare impervious allowance creating valuable flexibility for a future pool, expanded outdoor living, or other improvements.
With over $500,000 invested in renovations, finishes, technology, and landscaping, this home offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking luxury, privacy, main-level living, and the beauty of a premier waterfront setting without the maintenance demands of a much larger estate.
Ideally located near top-rated schools, the Atlanta Athletic Club, premier shopping, dining, and parks. This is a truly special offering in Thornhill—beautifully updated, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Johns Creek riverfront living....
