Overview

Custom designed exclusively for the owner by renowned Atlanta architect, Henry Dole Norris, AIA,* the home can be classified as US Modernist architecture that features cedar siding, solid wood kitchen cabinets, redwood decking on the porches, convenient traffic flow, maximum use of space, and room-to-room privacy. Sitting on 15.42 quiet acres, it was built in 1975. Entering through the front foyer is a spacious living room to the left with a vaulted ceiling, vintage glass bookcases, a herringbone-design brick fireplace, and a floor-to-ceiling "one-way" window beside the fireplace. Connected to the living room is the dining room with an original rough-sawn cedar ceiling and exterior sliding glass door suitable for a patio addition. Another glass door opens to the screened back porch. A swinging door leads into the kitchen/dining area with quarry-tiled flooring, a large island containing a Jen-Air grill and rotisserie, an antique gas stove, a dishwasher, and an enclosed pantry complete with a built-in wine rack. Additionally, a large sliding glass door leads to a sizeable back porch. The hallway leads first to a separate laundry room which contains a working antique sewing machine and a half-bath. Continuing down the hallway a full bathroom is on the left. Connected to the bathroom via a pocket door is a bedroom with closet space. Leaving the bedroom there is a small room with built-in, adjustable shelves. The roomy master bedroom has a sliding glass door to a deck, two built-out walk-in closets, a spa-like shower/tub, double vanity, a commode, and a bidet. A stairwell leads to the second floor featuring two bedrooms, a full bath, a playroom (with original flooring), and a balcony with adjustable bookshelves overlooking the living room. In addition to an attic with pulldown stairs, there is a "walk-in" storage area that adjoins the playroom. Going back downstairs, a door from the screened back porch leads to a beautifully landscaped backyard complete with a water feature made of native Candler County iron ore rocks, a trellis, and a bench and arbor from "found" river wood. The arbor leads to a firepit perfect for enjoying an evening by the fire. A free-standing, two-car garage containing a tool room, and an upstairs room with a full bath was added in the 1980s. In addition to the house, the property includes a working pecan field, a second deep well, a septic tank, and a power source on the northwest corner of the lot, which is suitable for a second residence. (A one-year home warranty accompanies the purchase of the home. Original plans for both house and garage are available.) *Henry D Norris, AIA, was in private practice in Atlanta for more than forty years. His homes were - and are - still widely recognized for their sophisticated and ingenious plans, the three-dimensional interplay and configuration of spaces (rooms and other volumes), the use of carefully selected materials and colors, and their general airiness.
