Home Details for 480 Mount Vernon Highway

Designed for those seeking privacy, SPACIOUS living, and refined entertaining, this EXCEPTIONAL light-filled gated estate rests on 1.17 private acres in one of Sandy Springs most coveted enclaves. Offering rare Atlanta skyline views, nearly 9,600 square feet of refined living space unfolds behind the gates, showcasing soaring 10 ft ceilings, hardwood floors throughout the entire home and timeless New England inspired architecture that feels both elegant and enduring. A sweeping approach reveals a stately stone facade and signature arched entry, creating a grand yet welcoming first impression that sets the tone for the estate beyond. Designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the home features five ensuite bedrooms, five full baths, three half baths, and a flexible upper level bonus room, perfect for a kids playroom or a teen lounge. Exposed solid wood beams, and oversized wood moulding accent the living and keeping rooms, while five fireplaces create intimate gathering spaces and a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, anchored by dual oversized marble islands, walk-in pantry, shiplap ceilings and outfitted with a Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and two dishwashers, beautifully balancing form and function for effortless entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, a stunning screened-in porch with gorgeous wood ceilings, and a fireplace overlooks the lush backyard and pool. The upper level highlights a private primary suite set apart in its own wing of the home, complete with separate his and hers oversized walk-in closets and a true retreat-like atmosphere. A second suite on the main level provides an ideal option for guests or multigenerational living, offering comfort and privacy while maintaining seamless flow throughout the home.
