About this home

Brightleaf is a landmark Snell Isle estate designed in 1925 by Kiehnel & Elliott and built by S.V. Schooley, reborn through a four-year restoration so complete that insurers classify it as 2024 new construction. Every mechanical, electrical, plumbing and climate system is new, and the home sits behind a gated drive inside a seven-foot privacy wall on grounds reimagined by landscape architect Michael Gilkey. The 6,065-square-foot residence holds five bedrooms, five and a half baths and a detached guest house with its own entrance, kitchen, living space, bedroom and bath. Interiors by Jaime Rogers of Doxa Home pair large-format Turkish limestone with rift-cut white oak, custom cabinetry by Michael Bright and T2theS, and a main kitchen outfitted with Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele and Cove appliances plus reverse osmosis filtration at every draw. Impact-rated windows and doors, three dramatic bifold openings, a new roof and a two-car garage complete the estate.
