Welcome to this thoughtfully restored gem that seamlessly combines timeless charm and modern luxury in an unbeatable location. Step inside to discover a bright open floorplan where distinct spaces effortlessly flow through beautiful arched openings that mimic the original front door. A stately gas fireplace acts as a stunning focal point in the spacious family room while period-correct terracotta tile graces the floor of the cozy sunroom. A separate yet open dining room provides the perfect backdrop for lively dinner parties and a keeping room off the kitchen is a comfortable spot to keep the chef company. White to-the-ceiling custom cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, high-end stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and gold hardware unite to create a magazine-worthy kitchen. The large center island offers ample space for culinary creations and doubles as a gathering spot for family and friends while the adjacent breakfast nook is bathed in natural light and provides a picturesque setting for casual meals. Two bedrooms and one bathroom complete the main floor. Upstairs, the sumptuous primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious vaulted sitting room that currently functions as a private den but could also serve as a home office, exercise room or dressing room. The beautiful spa-like bathroom features an indulgent oversized shower, custom double vanity, and a freestanding tub that beckons for a soothing soak and double French doors conceal a capacious walk-in closet. The large secondary bedroom includes a custom built-in desk and a light-filled storage niche and easy access to the second full upstairs bathroom with tub. A dreamy laundry room with loads of built-in storage makes daily chores a bit more enjoyable and a light-filled alcove with views of the lush tree canopy adds some motivation to the everyday workday. The surprises continue with a rare find - a well-appointed, finished basement that goes beyond the ordinary. Exposed brick and shiplap detail add warmth and character to a versatile living space that can flex to your unique needs. Equipped with a convenient wet bar, dining space and double French doors leading to the outdoor living space, this space is a haven for entertainment while a true bedroom with large walk-in closet and a full bathroom provide comfort and privacy for guests. Stepping outside, you'll be enchanted by a private oasis that centers around a captivating stone patio punctuated with a handsome outdoor masonry fireplace overlooking a grassy yard. Whether you’re looking for an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or a place for outdoor play, this backyard checks all the boxes. And if you're seeking intown community amenities, look no further- this incredible home is just a stone's throw away from the Garden Hills pool.

Buckhead isn't one market — it's a dozen small ones. High-rise living near Lenox and Phipps, quiet estate streets off West Paces Ferry, or somewhere in between — each pocket has its own price range and feel.
