Custom-built in The Grove at Highland Pointe, this home makes its first impression at the door -- a two-story foyer and a stunning floating staircase -- and continues outside, where a gunite pool with waterfall & covered spa sit on a stone deck beneath a covered Trex deck and electric louvered pergola. Two full primary suites, one on the main level and one up, make it a rare find in East Cobb, with room for multigenerational living, a returning student, or long-staying guests without anyone giving up their own space. Hardcoat stucco.

The main-level owner's suite features a deep tray ceiling, a fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, a very large walk-in closet fitted with custom shelving, and a bath with quartz counters and a soaking tub. Down the hall, the kitchen is finished in quartz with a large island, white painted cabinetry, stainless appliances, a glass tile backsplash and a composite farm sink. Behind it sits the room that quietly changes how this house entertains: a full scullery with its own quartz counters, second farm sink and refrigerator. The keeping room gathers around a stone hearth with a window seat beneath the glass, the living room holds a fireplace flanked by built-ins, and the dining room seats twelve under a double trey ceiling. A guest bedroom with its own tiled bath and a half bath with a pedestal sink complete the main floor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths, plus a bonus room and a proper laundry with granite counter and designer tile. The second primary suite reads as a retreat of its own, with a sitting area, double tray ceiling, and a bath in honed granite with a freestanding tub and glass-enclosed tile shower. The secondary baths are finished to the same standard throughout -- granite, undermount sinks, shaker cabinetry, tile floors and glass showers.

Outside is where the house makes its case. The deck carries a full stone fireplace for the evenings that run long, and the patio below it keeps the shade on the warmest afternoons, all within a fenced and irrigated yard. Add a screened porch, a covered side porch and two covered front porches and the house holds better than a thousand square feet of covered outdoor room. Four fireplaces in all.

The terrace level is partially finished, with a recreation room opening straight out to the patio and pool and plenty left to make your own -- more than two thousand square feet at full ceiling height, with daylight windows and room to become a media room, gym, wine cellar, or in-law suite whenever you want it. A boat door gives drive-in access, and a fourth garage bay sits at this level beneath the three-car garage at kitchen level above.

The Grove at Highland Pointe brings an Olympic-sized pool, four lighted tennis courts, a clubhouse, playground, two lakes, and 2.5 miles of walking trails, with neighborhood events throughout the year. Mabry Park and its trails, pond and community garden are under a mile away, and downtown Roswell, Woodstock, Alpharetta and Marietta Square are all an easy drive.
