No. 5 — $975,000 · 3998 Columns Dr SE, Marietta, Georgia
The only townhouse in the Top 5, and its oldest home, sits directly on the Chattahoochee River in River Plantation in Marietta. Built in 1979, the contemporary brick home on Columns Drive sold for $975,000. It is one of just two residences in its building, so it shares a wall on one side only, and both floors have views of the river.
A thorough renovation reshaped the interior. Walls came out on the main level to open up the kitchen around a large island, with a six-burner Thermador gas cooktop and a view of the river, and laminate floors run throughout. The former powder room is now a full bath. A custom welded staircase replaced the original one, freeing up living space and leaving storage beneath it.
The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms in 3,087 square feet, and one bedroom doubles as a flex space for an office or a gym. Upstairs, the primary suite looks out over the river, with a large walk-in closet fitted with built-ins and a bath renovated top to bottom around a large soaking tub.
On the river side, a porch with newly finished decking has remote-controlled screens that close it in. The home is a short distance from Atlanta Country Club, and the trails and parks along the Chattahoochee are close by. The property last sold for $515,000 in 2018.
Kerry Minervini of Ansley RE|Christie’s Int’l RE was the listing agent, and the home went under contract 21 days after it was listed.
