10685 Parsons Road

Steeped in history and reimagined for modern luxury, this extraordinary 2.4-acre estate offers a lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated. Originally built in 1897 by regional pioneer Calvin McClung Parsons as the centerpiece of a 1,200-acre agricultural empire, whoever buys this home next will become only the third family to steward this magnificent piece of local history. In 1999, the original farmhouse was meticulously moved to its current private, expansive acreage. It was stripped down to the studs and fully modernized, artfully merging 21st-century infrastructure with irreplaceable 19th-century craftsmanship. The historic wing of the home retains its soaring 12-foot ceilings, original heart pine wood flooring, substantial fluted trim work, hand-carved corner rosettes, and beautiful glass transom windows over every main-level interior doorway. Both the interior and exterior of the home feature a fully integrated, Bluetooth-enabled sound system. The main level features a thoughtfully situated primary suite alongside the home's grand 1999 expansion. In 2021, the current sellers completely transformed this wing by beautifully renovating the primary bathroom and fully remodeling the laundry room to introduce exceptional functionality, featuring added pantry space, a built-in coffee bar, and a dedicated dog shower. The modern 1999 addition also introduced a soaring family room and a gourmet kitchen. Upstairs, the second level opens to a massive loft area, a media room, four additional bedrooms with distinct, architecturally fun rooflines, and three full bathrooms. Storage space is an absolute standout throughout every level of this residence. The outdoor amenities rival a private resort. A covered patio and outdoor kitchen overlook a pristine, in-ground gunite pool with PebbleTec finish equipped with a tanning ledge, a water slide, a rock waterfall, and an integrated spa. Gathering space is enhanced by a custom gas fire pit, perfect for evening entertaining in the backyard. A dedicated outdoor half bath ensures pool and patio guests never have to track water inside. Beyond the pool area, the 2.4-acre property opens up to massive green space for play or gardens, complete with an adorable matching custom playhouse. Vehicular and hobby needs are met by an expansive parking footprint. In addition to the detached three-car garage, a newly added carport accommodates two additional vehicles. The full unfinished space above the garage offers massive storage capacity, or it can be easily finished to serve as a private guest suite, a detached home office, or a studio. Located in the premier heart of Johns Creek, this estate offers a rare combination of absolute privacy and walkable suburban convenience. You are just steps from Johns Creek City Hall and the Boardwalk at Town Center, and minutes from elite outdoor recreation at Abbotts Bridge Recreation Area and the state-of-the-art Cauley Creek Park. With the Johns Creek Arts Center just down the road and effortless access to downtown Duluth, downtown Norcross, Peachtree Corners, and Alpharetta, this property truly lets you have it all. Meticulously updated and strictly unconfined by an HOA-this isn't just a home; it's a lifestyle legacy.
