Sitting as the first and most prominent lot in beautiful and serene Laurel Ridge, a Conservation Design Community, this stately home features an incredibly private, resort-style backyard that feels like your very own oasis. Southern Elegance Meets Modern Comfort in This Alpharetta Gem! Welcome to a home that truly has it all-an Alpharetta address with the benefit of Cherokee County taxes, nestled on a spacious corner lot within a peaceful cul-de-sac. From the moment you arrive, the timeless four-sided brick exterior, charming Southern porch, and second-story balcony create a striking first impression. Step inside and imagine coming home after a long day to your private five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath sanctuary. A soaring two-story foyer greets you with elegance, setting the tone for the rest of the home. On either side, you'll find versatile front rooms currently styled as a graceful piano room basking in golden-hour sunlight and a sophisticated sitting area with detailed millwork-easily transformed into a formal dining room, if desired. The heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen designed for both function and flair. Double ovens, a Bosch appliance suite, a large island, and breakfast bar offer everything a home chef could want. With views into the cozy living room-complete with a brick hearth fireplace and streaming natural light-this space is perfect for both daily living and festive gatherings. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each offer their own en-suite bath, providing privacy and comfort for everyone. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet with expansion potential and spa-inspired finishes including dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower atop herringbone tile floors. Step onto the front balcony from either the owner's suite or a secondary bedroom and enjoy a quiet morning coffee or evening breeze. The finished terrace level is equally impressive, featuring a full bedroom and bath, kitchenette ready to become a full kitchen, a living room, and walk-out access to the covered veranda-ideal for al fresco dining by the pool. Speaking of the outdoors, prepare to fall in love with the backyard. Fully fenced for privacy, it showcases a heated, saltwater gunite pool and spa with waterfall accents, creating the perfect setting for both entertaining and unwinding. Don't miss the screened-in porch for cozy, rainy-day lounging or the expansive back deck stretching the full width of the home-your new favorite sunset-watching spot. As a unique bonus, just minutes away you'll find a local equestrian facility offering riding lessons for all skill levels and, when available, boarding options-perfect for horse lovers or anyone seeking a deeper connection to nature. This isn't just a house; it's a lifestyle upgrade. With refined finishes, unbeatable amenities, and thoughtful design throughout, every inch invites you to live comfortably, entertain effortlessly, and make lasting memories. Come see it for yourself-and start imagining your life here.
