From the private iron-gated entrance and brick drive to the striking blend of brick and stone architecture, the home makes an impression before you ever step inside. Professionally landscaped grounds surround a residence designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living.

CUSTOM OUTDOOR KITCHEN. DEDICATED HOME THEATER. PRIVATE OWNER'S RETREAT WITH BALCONY. FINISHED TERRACE LEVEL. These are just some of the exceptional features awaiting you at 1740 Childress Drive SW. Inside, soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of windows, rich hardwood floors, and exquisite architectural details create an impressive sense of scale and elegance.

The open-concept design provides a natural flow between the main living spaces, while thoughtfully designed rooms offer both formal entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The chef's kitchen serves as a natural gathering place, while the expansive owner's suite provides a private retreat of its own, complete with a balcony overlooking the wooded surroundings and a separate sitting room that can also function as an executive office.
