Few homes in North Atlanta reflect this level of timeless character. Set on just over two private, wooded acres in the vibrant, swim/tennis neighborhood of Litchfield Hundred, this stately brick Colonial was modeled after the George Wythe House in Colonial Williamsburg, the 18th-century home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and mentor to Thomas Jefferson, and it honors that heritage in its symmetrical brick facade, dormered roofline, pedimented entry and circular drive. The craftsmanship continues inside, where a two-story entrance foyer opens to 11-foot ceilings, wide-plank heart pine floors, crown molding, built-in bookcases and plantation shutters. Six fireplaces each have a character of their own, from classic brick hearths and a green marble surround to a hand-detailed carved mantel, and they carry the home’s period spirit from room to room. The formal living and dining rooms are scaled for real entertaining, with the dining room comfortably seating twelve or more. At the heart of the home, the eat-in kitchen pairs white cabinetry and stone counters with a center island, gas cooktop and walk-in pantry, opening to a sunny breakfast room and a fireside keeping room where everyday life naturally gathers. A light-filled sunroom and morning room extend the main level toward the trees, while a main-level study or guest bedroom with its own full bath adds welcome flexibility for visitors, a home office or single-level living. Multiple French doors open to a 64-foot flagstone patio spanning the full rear of the house, joined by a deck and a screened porch for three-season evenings. Mature woodland frames the fully fenced backyard, and a level side yard is ideal for play, lawn games or a playset. Upstairs, the primary retreat offers a private sitting room or office behind French doors with its own fireplace, a generous walk-in closet and a renovated spa-inspired bath with double vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms and an upper-level laundry room keep daily routines close at hand. In the left wing, a separate suite with two bedrooms, a full bath and its own rear staircase gives guests, teens or extended family a comfortable measure of independence. Tucked beneath the dormers, a fourth-level bonus floor adds a versatile flex room and multiple walk-in cedar closets, the kind of finished storage rarely found in newer homes. The daylight terrace level is filled with natural light and features a family room with fireplace, wet bar, bedroom and full bath behind a wall of windows overlooking the grounds, along with exterior access and unfinished space for a workshop or storage. Since purchasing in May, the owner has invested more than $28,000 in HVAC improvements, including a new high-efficiency variable-speed furnace, new insulated upper-level ductwork, and whole-home dehumidification and air purification on all three zones. New chandeliers, new carpet, fresh paint, professional roof maintenance and trees cut back from the house complete a thoughtful refresh. An unexpected change in circumstances now brings this beautifully prepared home to market, with the hard work already done for its next owner. Additional conveniences include a three-car side-entry garage, generator, irrigation system, central vacuum and owned security system. Litchfield Hundred is an established community offering swim, tennis, pickleball, a playground and clubhouse, all just minutes from the dining, shopping and riverside parks of Historic Roswell.
