Located in the heart of Castlewood, on Rockingham Drive, one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after streets, this Buckhead home is the result of an architect-led reimagining by award-winning architect Claire Smith, with interiors by Nona Pappas. Set on a rare one-acre, pool-ready lot, the residence is defined by balanced proportions, intentional symmetry, and a natural sense of flow that reflect classic Southern design thoughtfully interpreted for modern living. Gracious living spaces open through tall French doors to the backyard, allowing natural light to pour in and creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. The backyard is both serene and private, featuring two expansive, flat terraces that provide an exceptional amount of usable green space. The setting offers ample room for play, sports, a future pool, or a putting green, while maintaining a peaceful sense of seclusion rarely found this close to Buckhead. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home with custom cabinetry, Calacatta Venezia quartz surfaces, an Italian-made 48-inch range, a walk-in pantry, and unlacquered brass fixtures that add warmth and character. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the main living spaces, with vaulted ceilings in select areas, reinforce the home’s sense of scale and balance. The main level is ideal for family living and includes a primary suite with peaceful garden views and a marble-clad bath, along with two secondary bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The keeping room features a wood-burning fireplace and dry bar and connects seamlessly to the sunroom, creating a natural gathering space for everyday living and entertaining. The terrace level offers additional flexibility with two generously sized guest suites filled with natural light and a shared bathroom, as well as an additional living space with walk-out access to the backyard. Throughout the home, thoughtful architectural decisions, from ceiling heights to window placement and lighting, reflect an exceptional level of craftsmanship. All of this is just a short golf cart ride to Morris Brandon and moments from Buckhead’s top schools and amenities.
