917 Stratford Rd, Avondale Estates, GA 30002

917 Stratford Road “Blessed” This meticulously designed rebuild infuses solid brick ranch bones with an Asian aesthetic, creating a spectacularly serene custom home. Gorgeous wood beams and a 20 foot vaulted ceiling accent the “spine” of the home. The grand hallway is situated below the “spine” and takes you through the home from the front doors to the quaint deck, which overlooks the naturally beautiful wooded (double) lot. Selective buyers will easily discern all of the unique and exceptional features of this Zen filled retreat. Crafted with thoughtful intention, this home includes an array of creature comforts! Three bedrooms are located upstairs, just off of the grand hallway. Two bedrooms (ideal for children or guests) share a lovely bath and semi-private hallway. The owner’s suite features a spacious bedroom and custom walk-in closet, both covered in Earth Weave organic carpet. The bath is a spa-worthy oasis, complete with radiant heated floors, a roomy, comfortable tub, double vanities, water closet, and enormous walk-in shower with endless temperature and pressure settings. The living and gathering spaces are abundant. The living room offers a nod to the past with the original fireplace. Graceful arches separate the living room from both the dining room and the kitchen seating area. Three beautifully crafted wooden lockers (cubbies) make the perfect storage place for outerwear, backpacks, and table linens. The butler’s pantry is highlighted by the gorgeous red china hutch, and the kitchen commands attention with its beautiful travertine countertops, stainless appliances, and the perfect balance of cabinets and deep drawers for storage. Pull up a chair at one of the two seating areas in the kitchen, where you can enjoy a quick breakfast or young ones can set up a convenient after school study station. One of the many highlights of this magnificent home is found in the family room, where larger than life windows are accentuated with beautifully upholstered seating. This seating area was designed with relaxation in mind. Ample book storage is built in just below the seating and runs the length of the windows. Grab a book and a blanket, and settle in for a cozy afternoon. The view through these windows is captivating, and provides an alluring frame for each season. The upper level of the home also includes three additional rooms for art, work, and/or retreat. The flexibility of the floorpan is endless! The Tokonoma is an area dedicated to artistic appreciation. Built in cabinets and tables make this space ready to go for all sorts of creative expression. The two additional rooms on the left side of the home were designed as office space and have convenient access to an additional full bath on the left side of the home. In the center of the upper level, and beautifully juxtaposed to the spine of the home, an elemental stairway, takes you to the terrace level. Here you will find a fitness/play room with floor to ceiling mirrors, a dog wash room, an intimate all season porch, a private guest suite with kitchenette and full bath, and two additional multi-purpose rooms. The outdoor terrace hosts an expansive patio with a built in grill and outdoor speakers. The fenced back yard features irrigated raised garden beds, a fire pit, and a meditation shelter. Beautiful native trees shade the back of the property, and thoughtfully chosen plant species surround the terrace to mirror the Asian aesthetic found inside the home. “Blessed” certainly lives up to its name! 917 Stratford is a rare, magnificent gem. During the day the space is filled with wonderful natural light, and in the evening the house glows with magnificently appointed lighting. The carefully chosen design elements fuse wood, stone, and steel to create a warm and welcoming space that catches your eye and speaks to your heart.
