Home Description: 4705 Paran Nw Vly

Old Hollywood Meets Old Europe in Atlanta. Within a fifteen-minute walk of Chastain Park on a quiet cul-de-sac, Roze Huis, expresses history through the lens of modern times. This 17th-century Dutch manor house is sophisticated, dramatic and magical. Strategically placed on over half an acre to fully capture southern exposure and northern painterly light. Spacious yet private. Built in 1990, all three levels of this 4,540-square-foot structure use every inch of space to the maximum. The property straddles the boundary between the City of Atlanta and Sandy Springs, presenting an option to enroll in either public school system, or nearby private schools. A collaboration between the owner/designer and architectural designer John Calhoun, the depth of understanding design and history is evident not only in the way the space flows but in every detail. A baroque gable is the backdrop for the entry porch. Columned arches frame oeil de boeuf windows, and support a cast parapet in a repeating quadrant pattern. Adjacent, a fanciful sun, moon and stars in relief, render the whole as magical. Roze Huis' opposing front doors lead either to the expansive entrance hall and living room, or to the tiled kitchen and laundry. Open the door to the right and one enters the full drama of the Entrance Hall and Living Room. With fluted columns and pilasters in the foreground, the expansive windows and 200-year-old beams draw you closer. Step down into the full experience of 11' ceilings, chimneypiece of historical reference and French doors with a hand wrought Juliet balcony (from Charles Calhoun Metal Works.) Continue to the Dining Room that seats twelve, or intimately just two to enjoy the seasonal movement of light. French doors open onto an outdoor patio for dining al fresco. Elizabeth Coates's kitchen design, framed by custom finished cabinetry, is ergonomic and bright. Stunning polished nickel Waterworks faucet. Buchtal rustic blue floor tile continues into the pantry and laundry. Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele appliances and vintage double ovens. An en-suite bedroom on main includes a sauna, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and currently functions as a library. French doors open to a second Juliet balcony. Lit by a domed skylight, the curved staircase invites you upstairs. The primary en-suite bedroom, dressing room and bath are light filled from all directions. The primary bath features a Sherle Wagner white porcelain pedestal sink, Circa Lighting sconces, a custom designed and finished Myott Studio mirror, an exceptional etched 19th C. glass panel and 1/2''glass rimless shower doors from Drexler Shower and Doors. Three additional bedrooms have updated baths using high end fixtures and lighting. Think Crosswater London, Waterworks Studio, Perrin and Rowe by Rohl. Comfort lighting from Circa, Bacci from Switch modern. Descend the circular stairs to the terrace level and continue beyond an ancient Portuguese arch into a spacious media room and office. An adjacent room with a private entrance can be a wine cellar or exercise room. Landscaping from Kathy Henricks Garden Design and Habersham Gardens contributes to the sense that this home has been here well beyond its years. Formal, informal and nature's own ferns and moss lawn exude heritage and permanence.
