Come see me 2 to 4 on March 22. A rare opportunity to own an expansive 1.66-acre estate-sized lot in the heart of prestigious Buckhead, perfectly situated in the sought-after Morris Brandon Elementary School District. This classic red brick home exudes timeless character and elegant charm, offering the kind of gracious living spaces and architectural integrity that are increasingly hard to find in Atlanta. Set far off the road, the residence welcomes you with large, beautifully proportioned rooms and wide hallways, built atop a foundation crafted from historic Stone Mountain granite—a true testament to the home’s enduring quality. Inside, you’ll find an impressive formal dining room with oversized windows, a warm and inviting living room with a fireplace, and a richly wood-paneled study featuring built-in shelving, a wet bar, a fireplace, and double French doors that open to an exterior patio. The spacious kitchen and breakfast area are ready to be reimagined into today’s modern open-concept design, presenting endless opportunities to renovate and create a personalized estate that fits your vision. Upstairs, the generous primary suite with a huge closet anchors the home’s private living quarters. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level—one with its own ensuite bath, and two that share a classic Jack and Jill bathroom. The basement offers a recreation room, full bath, laundry area, and a bedroom or bonus room, providing flexible space for guests, hobbies, or additional storage. The property’s outdoor amenities are just as impressive. A separated pool setting creates a serene retreat, while the soccer-field-sized flat back yard offers incredible space for play, gardens, and expansion! To understand just how big the property is, the current owner once boarded his personal horse on the grounds. While the home would benefit from some updates, it is exceptionally solidly built and truly one-of-a-kind. With its unmatched lot size, charming architectural bones, and prime location close to interstates, shopping, dining, and nightlife, this is your chance to renovate an Atlanta classic and craft a legacy property in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.

The property currently features a classic red brick home full of timeless character and architectural charm, offering gracious living spaces that are increasingly hard to find in Atlanta.

Local insights from Redfin agents
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.
