Once upon a time in Buckhead, a legendary architect named Francis Palmer Smith chose two wooded acres on Paces Ferry and designed something that was never meant to be ordinary. In 2025, we rebuilt it from the ground up. The rest of the story is yours to write... Originally designed in 1968 by Francis Palmer Smith and his son Henry. Francis directed Georgia Tech's Department of Architecture from 1909 to 1922 and trained a generation of the South's most celebrated architects, leaving his mark on Atlanta's skyline for decades. 3990 Paces Ferry is a genuine piece of Atlanta history. Completely rebuilt in 2025 in a 2.5 year collaboration between HARVIN, T2Greene Builders, architect John Plaster, and Field Landscape Design. 9,754 square feet that lives like brand new construction with the soul of something irreplaceable. They simply don't build them like this anymore. The main level was made for the way people actually live today. LaCanche kitchen, limestone fireplace family room, fluted formal living room opening directly to the walk-out pool and cabana. Primary suite on the main. Four ensuite bedrooms upstairs. The terrace level is a world of its own with a lounge, gym with infrared sauna, guest suite, and a Speakeasy wine cellar behind a secret hydraulic staircase that has to be seen to be believed. New roof, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, pool, and garage. Where the original charm was worth preserving, it was. Nothing left unconsidered. And then there is the land. Tucked on over two private gated acres within the Chattahoochee River Corridor — protected under Georgia's Metropolitan River Protection Act — this position could never be permitted today. The privacy, the setback, the wooded seclusion are legally protected and permanently irreplaceable. As new construction crowds the street outside the corridor, the distinction becomes more obvious by the day. One minute from Lovett. Two minutes from Westminster. Move-in ready today. Someone is going to get this house. Make it you.
