5559 Stone Creek Drive

A very unique home in Smoke Rise. We know it will be just right for a buyer who treasures privacy, loads of living area in and out set in amazing gardens. There will be an estate sale on July 8 & 9. Once cleaned after estate sale, showings will begin.
Stone Creek is known for huge fabulous homes with no two alike. Enter the driveway and a vista opens before you giving a hint of all of the special features. Gardens in each way you look. The hard coat stucco home is French Country in style, sprawling across the lot with a three car garage at the right. Enter the front door and you are in the foyer with a large dining room to the right, a great room ahead and a library to the left. Note the extensive millwork in the crown moldings, base and picture frame paneling. Imagine your view through the large bay window in the dining room that will easily seat 12. The kitchen has a lot of cabinets and a very large walk in pantry. There is an island with a cooktop in the center, a desk and a woodburning stove. The casual dining area is set in a large bay window overlooking the deck and pergola. You will also see the back stairs leading to the lower level. A large mud/sewing/laundry room is just around the corner with ample storage closets and cupboards. The entry to the garage is off this room as well. Admire the grounds and beautiful deck as you go to the great room with a fireplace, built ins and a sunroom. A small hall leads to the primary oversize bedroom suite. The ensuite is vintage luxury with a huge whirlpool tub, separate shower, double vanities and closets. There is a door that connect to the hall half bath so that it serves as a suite with two water closets. Adjacent to the bedroom is a handsome library with book shelves and a stained glass window to the great room. Upstairs you will find a very private bedroom suite with skylights and dormers.
The lower level is fully appointed as a full second living area. Another primary style bedroom and bath. Another living area with a wood stove, full kitchen, workshop with exterior access and windows. There are also two rooms that had been used as bedrooms by this family that could serve in many ways- offices, media or exercise rooms. A second full bath serves this level and is easily accessed from the outside. A craft room is at the of the hall. There is a large screened porch looking out to the pond, tea house (gazebo) and gardens.
Backyard living and entertaining is easy to imagine with large deck, pergola covered deck, patio and paths. The tea house is comfortable and inviting. There is also a gardeners workshop with "tractor port" at the side. Lush naturalized grounds meet the Stone Mountain Park buffer lands enveloping the whole property in privacy. The three car garage is large with the third bay having height for a boat hoist if needed.
