Located atop one of Atlanta’s most prestigious and picturesque streets, this beautifully renovated 1934 brick traditional home perfectly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. A gated, cobblestone-lined driveway and new slate roof set the tone for a home steeped in elegance. But it’s the backyard that truly steals the show—an impeccably landscaped sanctuary redesigned in 2021. Terraced gardens, wide stone steps, and classic iron railings guide you through lush lawns, a rose garden, and a lovely water fountain. An elegant foyer welcomes you with original iron windows, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and deep dentil moldings throughout. To one side, a charming living room with fireplace; to the other, a paneled study with fireplace. The kitchen, adjacent to a stunning dining room, has marble countertops, white cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, double ovens, wine cooler, a cozy built-in banquette, and a butler’s pantry. A vaulted, brick-floored sunroom with a stone fireplace opens directly to the backyard retreat. A second sunroom/office off the living room and a stylish powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a sitting room/office with custom built-ins, a walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with separate whirlpool tub, and marble double vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a spacious hall bath. The third floor is a special surprise—complete with shiplap walls, three closets, a Palladian window, and full bath. Tucked above the detached two-car garage, a fully updated guest apartment (2020) offers a private bed, bath, and kitchenette—perfect for visitors, au pair, or work-from-home needs. A garden shed adds extra utility. The partially finished basement, also renovated in 2020, includes a custom wine cellar, laundry room with dog bath, exercise room, and workshop—with access directly from the kitchen and driveway. Welcome HOME.
