Designed by acclaimed architect Linda MacArthur, this iconic Sherwood Forest residence is widely regarded as one of the neighborhood’s most admired homes—its presence both commanding and quietly refined. Distinguished by expansive double porches framed with classic Chippendale balustrades, the home occupies a rare, nearly half-acre corner lot with a perfectly level, walk-out backyard—an exceptional offering in an intown setting. The grounds, professionally designed by LandPlus, create a private, garden-like backdrop for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The interiors reflect a timeless sensibility, defined by rich hardwood flooring, crisp moldings, and thoughtfully composed architectural elevations throughout. The main level is beautifully balanced, offering both formal and informal spaces, including a fireside living room, formal dining room, private home office, and an en-suite guest suite. The designer kitchen anchors the home, opening seamlessly to a sun-filled breakfast room and inviting keeping room. Dual French doors extend the living space outdoors to a covered rear patio complete with a fireplace and built-in kitchen—ideal for year-round entertaining. Both formal and informal powder rooms further enhance the functionality of the main floor. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms are complemented by an open-concept bonus room, creating flexibility for family living. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceiling detailing, a discreet morning bar with refrigeration, custom dual closets by Artisan Closets, and a spa-inspired, marble-clad bath with dual vanities, a makeup vanity, freestanding soaking tub, and a frameless glass walk-in shower. The finished terrace level is equally considered, offering a large recreation room, temperature-controlled wine cellar, guest suite, private movie theater, and a dedicated gym. An additional guest suite—ideal for an au pair or extended stay—is privately situated above the two-car garage and accessed via its own staircase. Subtly recognized for its architectural significance, the home has been featured in Jumaji, further underscoring its thoughtful design and enduring appeal. Nestled within one of Intown Atlanta’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Sherwood Forest is known for its absence of cut-through traffic and its close-knit, residential character. The home is within walking distance of Ansley Country Club and moments from Piedmont Park, the High Museum of Art, Colony Square, the Atlanta BeltLine, and major highways—offering both tranquility and unmatched connectivity. A rare convergence of architecture, setting, and livability, this is a home that defines timeless Intown elegance.
