Modern home tucked into the woods near Chastain Park listed for $1.69M

The primary purpose of a home is to provide shelter from the outside elements. Sure.

But the second purpose, according to many a socialite, is to serve as a gorgeous setting where the owner can graciously host friends and family.

Take 4625 Lake Forrest Drive, a sleek home that’s clearly designed as much for entertaining as it is for sleeping.

The one-acre Sandy Springs property, located about a mile away from Chastain Park Ampitheatre, was listed this week for $1,695,000.

Don’t let the unassuming size of the front of the circa-2006 home deceive you. What looks like an artistic wall with trees behind it actually guards a 5,345-square-foot manor with 10-foot ceilings, five bathrooms and four bedrooms.

The aerial view shows just how much space is hidden behind that modest facade.

The kitchen includes a 15-foot island and a wine fridge.

And floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the private wooded area.

Outside, there’s a heated saltwater infinity pool surrounded by a finished terrace.
