Modern Architecture. Exceptional Space. Designed to Live Differently. Set on a level 0.56-acre lot in Brookhaven, this four-level contemporary residence pairs striking architecture with a remarkably flexible floor plan. Soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, clean lines, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create a home that feels impressive in scale yet comfortable for everyday living. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features Thermador appliances, quartzite countertops, generous workspace, and a concealed prep kitchen ideal for entertaining while keeping the main kitchen beautifully composed. The surrounding living spaces flow naturally to a large covered porch, extending gatherings outdoors and overlooking the expansive backyard. An entire level is devoted to the primary suite, creating a true private retreat within the home. The suite includes its own living area, kitchenette, flexible bonus space for an office, fitness studio, or nursery, a custom-fitted closet, and a large private balcony overlooking the grounds. Direct access to the driveway adds another layer of convenience and privacy. Throughout the home, multiple bedroom suites and beautifully appointed baths with smart toilets offer comfort and privacy for guests and extended stays. The finished terrace level expands the possibilities even further, with space for an additional bedroom, recreation, media, or multigenerational living, plus a dedicated bonus room ideal for a home theater. A two-car main garage is complemented by a separate terrace-level third-car garage, ideal for a specialty vehicle, hobby space, or additional storage. Generous additional parking and adaptable outdoor areas add even more flexibility. Minutes from Brookhaven dining and shopping, major business districts, parks, and Atlanta’s medical centers, 1253 Brooklawn Rd NE offers something increasingly difficult to find: distinctive contemporary design, substantial indoor and outdoor space, and a floor plan capable of evolving with the way you live. **A Brookhaven residence designed not simply to impress, but to work beautifully for real life.**
Lakes District, located between Peachtree Road and Buford Highway, is a residential and mixed-use Brookhaven neighborhood with pocket lakes and wooded greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Dresden Drive and Caldwell Road corridor, where patios, coffee counters, and chef-driven dining set a steady, social pace. Landmarks like the Brookhaven MARTA Station, Oglethorpe University, and the Atlanta History Center anchor daily rhythms beyond the tree-lined streets. Housing reads as a blend of mid-century ranches, newer townhomes, and small-lot infill with landscaped setbacks. Sidewalk pockets and trail links connect to parks and recreation spaces. The geography shifts from quiet cul-de-sacs to busier commercial edges, giving the area a layered, lived-in feel.
