The moment you enter the private gates of Ardsley Park at Windward, the European architectural features of these homes feel worlds away while being conveniently located in one of the top cities to live in America. This exquisite, 4-sided brick home is a stand out among its neighbors. Immaculately maintained landscaping, custom iron front doors, a striking cedar shake roof and carriage style garage doors greet you as you arrive. The grand entry with its curved staircase, gleaming hardwood floors and impressive millwork are just some of the features you'll notice as you enter. Flanked by a large formal dining room and formal living room, or home office, this home perfectly marries formal and casual spaces. The heart of the home features an open-concept kitchen, family room and breakfast room. The flow of this space is ideal for entertaining and daily life alike. You'll appreciate the expansive living area that's highlighted by custom built-in bookcases flanking a stone-clad fireplace. The kitchen is the ideal space for a home chef. Custom soft-close cabinetry, a luxury Wolf/SubZero appliance package, ample prep and serving space with a center island and a convenient Butler's Pantry, mean this kitchen is as enjoyable to look at as it is to cook in. Casual dining and golf course views are obtained through the brick arches in the glass-encased sunroom. Take in the sights and sounds of nature with the security of a screened porch with stunning, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings. Retreat upstairs at the end of a long day to the sprawling master suite. Wind down or start your day in the sitting room, relax in your spa-like ensuite bathroom and get ready in the expansive custom walk-in closet with intentionally designed spaces for all of your clothes, shoes and accessories! The guest bedrooms are generously sized and also have custom closet systems. Two of these bedrooms share a bathroom while one has its own ensuite - ideal for those who don't want to share! The terrace level of the home is the destination for casual entertaining or autonomous living. With the amount of light flowing through the windows, this space doesn't feel at all like a basement. Enjoy the various "zones" that it offers: the perfect spot for watching movies or a sports event, a large area for your game table (pool or ping pong, anyone?!), an arched brick "nook" that's ideal for playing Mahjong or poker and a full kitchen (that's larger than most primary kitchens!) with lots of space for making and serving food & drinks. Need another guest bedroom? No problem! There's another one with a full bathroom on this level. With views of the 17th Fairway and a stunning pool and spa, the backyard feels more like a resort than a private residence! Covered patio spaces keep you out of the weather while still enjoying the views. The outdoor kitchen is ideal for grilling while the adjacent custom stone fireplace is the perfect backdrop for lounging or dining al fresco. Grow some herbs or vegetables in your raised garden bed. Splash around in your pool or relax in the hot tub while enjoying the sounds of the waterfall. While you may have your own resort at home, Windward offers some of the best amenities of any neighborhood in the entire city. Walk right outside of the community gates to over 3,400 acres of a thoughtfully planned residential paradise. The private Golf Club of Georgia features two 18-hole championship courses and the Racket Social Club at Windward includes 18 tennis courts, 4 padel courts, 6 pickleball courts, a full-service marina and multiple swimming pools. Boat, paddleboard, kayak or fish on the 195-acre recreational lake. You can have all of this while also being a short drive to the Avalon, downtown Alpharetta, North Point Shopping District and GA400. In addition, this home is zoned for some of Alpharetta's top-rated public schools. As it turns out, you really CAN have it all in this dream home and location!
