PHOTO: Joe DiMessina sells a graceful Southern estate for $3 million

Joe Di Messina is listing his 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,995-square-foot, Southern Georgia residence for sale for $3 million, and photos show a private, tranquil retreat, the perfect blend of classic Southern architecture and luxury living.

Built in 2016, Messina's home in a prestigious country community outside of Atlanta sits on five meticulously landscaped acres, and the residence's interior offers all the upscale amenities without sacrificing elegant Southern charm. Exposed beams and wide-plank oak floors lend some rustic charm, while the upscale kitchen features premium appliances, shaker cabinets and quartz countertops, as well as a large island.

The living room offers a brick fireplace, built-in cabinets and shiplap style paneling, and oversized windows allow in ample natural light throughout the home in the style of a luxury country estate. There is also a walk-in pantry and built-in workspace near the kitchen, a laundry room that also serves as a mudroom, and a separate home office/cabinet.

The master bedroom completes the main floor and features two walk-in closets, spa-style bathroom with jetted tub and glass shower, and marble double sinks.

There are four more bedrooms at the top of the house, as well as a separate in-law apartment that connects to the main house but has its own separate entrance from the street. This apartment has a bedroom, living room, full bathroom, laundry room and kitchen with full size appliances.

The meticulously maintained exterior of the home is simply spectacular. The 900 feet of covered porch leads directly to the lush outdoor entertaining area which includes a heated pool with salt system and hot tub.

The beautiful Georgia Messina estate has yet to go on formal sale.
