An Extraordinary Piedmont Estate
Elegant, iconic, and meticulously preserved
Constructed in 1930 by renowned architects Williams & Wastell, this extraordinary English Country Tudor is a true architectural masterpiece. Commissioned by the Witter family, the residence stands as a remarkable showcase of timeless craftsmanship, exceptional design, and enduring architectural significance.
Set on approximately three-quarters of an acre along one of Piedmont's most coveted streets, the estate is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds that offer exceptional privacy while remaining moments from the heart of the community. From the hand-carved woodwork and intricate leaded glass windows to the custom millwork and exquisite period detailing, every element reflects the extraordinary quality of its original construction. Nearly a century later, the residence has been thoughtfully preserved, continuing to embody the elegance, character, and enduring appeal that define one of Piedmont's most treasured properties.
The home strikes a rare balance between grand formal living and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Masterful craftsmanship is evident throughout, beginning in the dramatic foyer where a hand-carved floating staircase rises before a breathtaking two-story leaded glass window, creating an unforgettable first impression. Rich architectural details, beautifully proportioned rooms, and remarkable original features combine to make this iconic home truly one of a kind.
Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the estate's spectacular grounds include formal gardens, a stunning black-bottom pool and spa, tranquil water features, and inviting outdoor spaces that seamlessly extend the living experience beyond the home's walls.
An impressive collection of amenities further elevates the property, including a full-size elevator, home theater, attic game room, wine cellar, fitness rooms, extensive storage, a separate carriage house, and a three-car garage. Together, they create an exceptionally rare estate that honors its historic pedigree while offering the comforts and conveniences of modern living.
Elegant, iconic, and meticulously preserved, this is far more than an extraordinary home, it is one of Piedmont's architectural treasures. This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a home of lasting beauty and historic significance.
