1640 Nottingham Way NE

Tucked away in the heart of Atlanta’s Sherwood Forest neighborhood, this custom-built estate is a masterclass in architectural detail and refined living. Thoughtfully designed with layered materials and timeless finishes, the home blends old-world craftsmanship with modern innovation. A wide, deep covered front porch with tongue and groove ceiling, gas lights, and ceiling fans spans the front of the home—creating a gracious welcome and an ideal space for year-round enjoyment. Inside, generous open rooms flow seamlessly, designed for both relaxed living and entertaining. Both the formal dining room and the fireside office/library open directly onto the covered front porch through sets of French doors, enhancing the home's indoor-outdoor connection and providing an exceptional entertaining flow. Custom leaded-glass doors close off the library for quieter moments by the cozy fireplace. A dramatic two-story foyer with an imported Italian tiled ceiling and Turkish terracotta flooring sets the tone for the home’s timeless details. Seven fireplaces—each capped with custom stone and brickwork that mirrors the banister finials—anchor the home with warmth and artistry. Beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and finely crafted millwork add depth throughout. The main kitchen is outfitted for serious culinary work, featuring dual refrigerators, dual dishwashers, a butler’s pantry, three sinks, and bespoke cabinetry. A second full kitchen on the terrace level adds versatility for hosting or multi-generational living. The main level also features a secondary primary bedroom suite—ideal for guests or those seeking one-level living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet with space for a private office or dressing lounge, and a beautifully tiled bath with fireplace—creating a serene and luxurious atmosphere. Also on the lower level: a 1,000+ bottle wine cellar with tasting room, a fireside entertaining lounge featuring a generous fireplace and a stunning original bar—meticulously reassembled on-site after being imported from Europe—a fitness suite with separate laundry and a river stone steam room that fits eight, an office, and flexible space for media or games. The fully updated Control4 system provides intercom, security, and whole-home sound through an integrated speaker system. An elevator serves all levels. Outdoors, a brick loggia with a built-in pizza oven and gas grill overlooks the private, gated backyard and pool—perfect for entertaining or unwinding in total privacy. A whole-house generator provides comfort and peace of mind throughout the seasons.
