This home is truly one-of-a-kind. It's a 3-bedroom, 4 full bathroom home designed by and built under the keen eye of Atlanta architect Virgil Pinnell for his family residence. Roadside, there is a gated entry to the long driveway through a pecan orchard up to an oval drive in front of the home. The home is a spacious Australian Drover Style home with lots of custom features. It sits back away from the road on a partly wooded 10+ acre property dotted with metal sculptures done by Virgil. It has a huge deep porch that partially wraps 3 sides. Perfect for enjoying the peaceful great outdoors in the desirable Redbone area of Barnesville. Round the side of the house is a park-under 2-car garage with plenty of extra space for more parking outside the garage. The garage is part of the full basement with room for lots of storage. There is also a workbench with lots of room to work in. More on the basement later. From the front porch, step inside the foyer. There's a living room to the left and a long wide hall straight ahead. The living room has a large fireplace. There is entry to a full-sized bath with walk-in shower from here, with another entry from the hallway. The formal dining room has windows looking onto the porch and includes a nook for a sideboard or china cabinet. A door goes from here out to the porch: a great place for outdoor dining. Next is a spacious kitchen with an eat-at island with an open gas stovetop. A huge stainless-steel vent hood covers the entire island. There is plenty of cabinet and counter space for even the most well-appointed kitchen. From here you'll find an informal living area. Next to this living room is an informal dining area that looks out over a balcony porch overlooking the back yard. There are also stairs here going down to the basement garage. A small door in the wall next to the stairs reveals a dumbwaiter from the garage downstairs. A convenient way to get all the groceries from your car up to the kitchen. Back to the foyer. A few steps down the hall to the left is the entrance to the full bath. Across the hall is bedroom #1 with an-suite with a large linen/storage closet and a large walk-in closet. A door opens to a bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and a bathtub. A little further down the hall right across from the laundry closet is bedroom #2 with a bank of windows looking into a private enclosed porch. This is the exercise room. The an-suite has a linen/storage closet, and a walk-in closet, and a walk-in shower. Next to the informal living room - is another room. It was Mr. Pinnell’s office/studio and it's divided into two rooms. The front part was his office/consultation room, and the back was where he produced all his architectural drawings. You may find a similar use or in these covid days it can be the home school room or even a playroom for the stay-at-home children. Upstairs is bedroom #3. It includes vaulted ceilings with skylights and an-suite with a shower/tub stall. Past the bathroom is a closet, and a sitting area overlooking a balcony porch looking over the back yard. The basement/garage has built in kennel facilities including 4 dog pens that open to their own outdoor dog-runs. Inside is also a grooming table with sink. A door to the back yard grants easy access to the dog-runs. The entire property is mostly fenced and has a fully fenced yard around the house. This home is in fantastic condition and is move-in ready. This is a rare find and a must see for anyone who can appreciate the refined features of this one-of-a-kind home. All the original elevations and building plans come with the home as well. Virgil would have wanted you to keep them.
