A Mid-Century Modern Gem. An Extraordinary Opportunity. Rarely does an opportunity arise to reimagine an architectural treasure or create a magnificent custom estate on 1.94 private acres in the heart of Buckhead. Tucked away at the end of a long, wooded driveway, this distinctive 1959 Mid-Century Modern residence offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, privacy, and endless possibilities. Originally designed by architect Henry Norris, the 5,620-square-foot residence features seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. Expansive windows throughout and sliding glass doors invite natural light while connecting the interiors to the surrounding landscape. Among the home's most captivating architectural features are a dramatic ballroom anchored by an impressive copper-and-stone fireplace and a distinctive conservatory featuring an indoor water element. These remarkable spaces provide inspiration for a thoughtful restoration that honors the home's Mid-Century Modern heritage while introducing today's luxury finishes and amenities. The expansive grounds offer an equally compelling canvas, with an existing swimming pool, tennis court, and sport court awaiting transformation into a private recreational retreat. Mature trees, natural topography, and a secluded setting create a sense of privacy seldom found in such a coveted Buckhead location. For the architectural enthusiast, the opportunity to restore and reinvent this remarkable residence is extraordinary. For the visionary buyer, the nearly two-acre property presents an enticing setting to explore the creation of a bespoke luxury estate designed around an entirely new vision. Original architectural plans are available, offering valuable insight into the home's design and history. Conceptual renovation imagery illustrates just one of the many possibilities for this exceptional property. Offered as-is, 1510 West Wesley Road invites its next owner to imagine the possibilities, embrace the setting, and create something truly extraordinary. Restore the legacy. Reimagine the possibilities. Create your own masterpiece. (Conceptual Rendering-For Inspiration Only)

Margaret Mitchell, located between Buckhead Village and Midtown, is a residential and commercial Atlanta neighborhood with leafy side streets and a polished retail corridor. Around the Peachtree Rd NW and Peachtree Battle Ave NW intersection, the mood concentrates in a stream of boutiques, salons, and patio dining. Brick colonials and mid-century condos sit behind mature trees, while Peachtree Road’s storefronts keep daily errands close at hand. The Atlanta History Center and Swan House set a cultural tone nearby, and Bobby Jones Golf Course adds a green, social backdrop. Sidewalks trace toward the BeltLine’s Northside Trail for a car-light loop. Evenings read as low-key, with restaurant tables and soft traffic hum along Peachtree.
