Summary of 5680 Lake Forrest Drive
Private Sandy Springs Estate on Nearly One Acre | Approved Expansion Potential | Minutes from Chastain Park Set behind a canopy of mature trees on nearly one private acre, this exceptional Chatham-built residence offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and future potential along prestigious Lake Forrest Drive. Minutes from Chastain Park, Buckhead, City Springs, premier dining, shopping, top-rated schools, and major business centers, the location balances tranquility with everyday convenience. Offering more than 4,200 square feet, the home features walnut hardwood floors, powered skylights, Kohler fixtures, painted cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan where every bedroom enjoys its own private ensuite bath. Expansive living spaces open through two sets of French doors into a light-filled sunroom overlooking the fully fenced backyard and wooded grounds with private walking trails. The terrace level offers a private walk-out guest or in-law suite complete with its own kitchen and separate entrance-ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private home office retreat, or potential supplemental income. A standout feature is the property's approved expansion potential.
