1695 Adams Dr SW

Welcome to one of Cascade Heights' most extraordinary properties, a 2.7-acre private estate offering sweeping lake views, architectural character, and modern upgrades rarely found this close to the city. Set on a secluded, wooded lot that gently slopes toward the water, this home delivers the feeling of a luxury nature retreat just minutes from downtown Atlanta. A long, circular drive leads to a striking modern facade, where clean architectural lines, oversized windows, and a dramatic clerestory tower create a timeless first impression. Inside, natural light pours through all-new windows, framing tranquil views of the lake and surrounding trees from nearly every major living space. The layout is designed for both refined entertaining and relaxed everyday living, with seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and stunning sightlines to the lake, making morning coffee, casual meals, and evening gatherings feel like a private resort experience. Downstairs, a massive in-law suite-style basement offers exceptional versatility. Whether used for multi-generational living, guest quarters, a private office, gym, media room, or future rental suite, this level dramatically expands the home's functionality and long-term value. Out back, the property opens into a lush, park-like oasis with mature trees, landscaped grounds, and uninterrupted water views. With 2.7 acres at your disposal, there is room to create gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, a pool, or simply enjoy the peaceful privacy that is nearly impossible to find inside the Atlanta perimeter. Major upgrades have already been completed for the next owner, including a brand-new roof and all-new windows, delivering energy efficiency, structural peace of mind, and enhanced resale value. Located in the heart of Cascade Heights, this home offers quick access to Tyler Perry Studios, the Westside BeltLine expansion, downtown Atlanta, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, while still feeling worlds away from the noise. This is more than a home. It is a private retreat, a legacy property, and one of the most distinctive offerings currently available in Southwest Atlanta.
