Set on one of the prettiest streets in Atlanta with complete privacy because of two uninhabited islands and conveniently within 20+/miles of everything Downtown Atlanta offers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have it all. Set on a dreamy, wide-open tract of land that was once part of a small vineyard with endless views of the Chattahoochee River, 1714 Brandon Hall Drive is the culmination of four decades of home-building experience.
