393 The Falls Court NE

Welcome to THE FALLS. A period correct mid-century modern masterpiece that honors timeless design while embracing progressive innovation & celebrates nature as a lifestyle. Designed by renowned Atlanta architect Herbert Millkey, the home is a showcase of natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship—from hand-selected stone to wormy chestnut paneling milled from a single, historic tree. Every element inside reflects a commitment to organic architecture, with walls of glass that dissolve the boundaries between structure and setting, and private balconies extending from every bedroom overlooking the dramatic, ever-present 120 foot cascading WATERFALL that flows just beneath the edge of the home.
Spanning three unique levels, the home is designed for flexibility and generational living, including an award-winning “age-in-place” addition that functions as a fourth bedroom, private studio, or guest retreat. The interiors flow seamlessly, anchored by a recently updated kitchen connected by sight lines that always lead back to THE FALLS. A spa-like primary suite boasts a Japanese-inspired garden and bath, creating a personal retreat that feels rooted in calm and balance. Four bedrooms. Three baths. Multiple living spaces. Perfect balance.
Throughout the home, there's a constant sense of movement and stillness—of water, wood, and stone working together in quiet harmony. Expansive outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully designed for year-round enjoyment overlooking almost 4 acres of preserved nature and a climax Piedmont Forest that is literally in the heart of the city. The striking & distinctive nature of this home provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in the center of nature while also living in the center of everything. There is over a mile of non-contiguous walking trails, bridges, & sitting areas spread across the property. Fed by peavine creek that stretches over 500 feet in length across the property, the waterfall itself spans 100 foot in width, 120 foot in cascading length, & has an island in the middle of it’s two outpourings flooding the home with ever present sounds & visuals of wonder & beauty.
The Falls is not just a home, but a living experience—where architecture doesn’t sit on the land, it becomes part of it…where nature comes first. BRILLIANT!
