Posted by Angie Ponsell at September 02. 2009

The timeless organic design of this home was conceived by architect Robert Green, A Taliesin Fellow and direct apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. The 5,200 square foot, four bedroom/four bathroom home is built into the brow of a hillside over a dramatic natural rock waterfall and sited to capture sunset views over the Chattahoochee River and valley. 

The stone entry foyer opens into a great room with an eighteen foot cathedral ceiling, curved mahogany wall and lighted alcoves, massive stone fireplace, floor to ceiling and clerestory windows, multi-level recessed lighting and built-in cabinetry which complements the home's architectural design. The great room flows into a dining room with a curved mahogany wall and a spacious wet bar encompassed by a massive curved stone wall. The adjoining gourmet kitchen features natural cherry cabinets custom designed in a classic arts and crafts style, travertine floors with a curved inlaid stone accents, top of the line appliances and opens to a stone terrace to enjoy the view and sounds of the falling water.

Edgewater Drive is located less than a mile north of the Riverside Drive exit off I-285(Exit24) and convenient to both I-75 and GA-400. 

As Robert Green said, "Organic Architecture was a word that Frank Lloyd Wright coined in the attempt to explain his architecture, and why it looked so different from other buildings. Organic: meaning that the building appeared to grow from the ground, all of its parts belonging to the whole like some organic plant, one space inside flowing into another, the same materials used both inside and out, the inside part of the exterior and vice versa, one integrated, organic whole."

This home is being offered at $899,000. Please contact Angie Ponsell 404-226-2002 to set up an appointment

Stuccoed walls are always a turn on. I'm starting to believe that the residential architects of Atlanta are the world's best.
