Historic charm meets modern convenience & quiet luxury in this completely renovated home w/a detached carriage house on a large private lot in the heart of Buckhead. In 2002, award-winning Michael Ladisic who is “inspired to create spaces that are functional & special for each unique family” thoughtfully renovated & expanded the original 2 bedroom 1 bathroom 1930’s brick bungalow creating a stately, open-concept 2 story. Building on this vision, within the past two years, a complete renovation by the current homeowner sought to once again breathe new life into this timeless classic. A stone path leads past an idyllic koi pond w/electronically controlled waterfall & underwater lighting to a captivating covered front porch framed by gas lanterns. Perfect for welcoming guests & keeping packages dry, this unique space also acts as an inviting outdoor living room, complete w/ceiling-mounted TV & views over the neighborhood playground. Once inside, the living room offers period appeal in the way of a statement brick fireplace & original craftsman windows & a spacious dining room seamlessly connects the front living space to the heart of the home- an expansive open-concept kitchen & family room. A large center island draped in Calcutta Gold marble serves as an informal eating space & a natural gathering spot while a 46″ Wolf dual-fuel range flanked by casement windows acts as a central focal point amidst a bank of custom cabinetry ladened with white Dolomite. Integrated Sub-Zero refrigerators are featured in both the main kitchen & back pantry which also features a workstation sink, laundry & a tremendous amount of grab & go storage. The large family room is crowned by a coffered ceiling & grounded by a gorgeous stone fireplace on one end & a 142″ Ultravision screen on the other while double French doors lead to the covered patio beyond. A hammered brass sink, under-cabinet fridge, Ice-o-Matic Pearl ice maker & 2nd Bosch dishwasher turn what would be an ordinary breakfast nook into a cozy coffee/wine bar. A main floor bedroom w/large, walk-in closet currently serves as a light-filled office & the relocated & reworked main floor bath features a walk-in shower w/custom-laid tile paired w/a gorgeous cut marble vanity top & imported sink. Upstairs, a large bonus room w/a tray ceiling & window seat offers flexibility to the 2nd floor where you’ll also find the oversized primary suite. The vaulted primary bedroom overlooks the private backyard & is intentionally separated from 2 spacious walk-in closets & the marble-clad bathroom featuring a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower w/an XL product niche, private WC & dual vanities. Two secondary bedrooms share a large jack & jill bathroom offering copious storage thanks to an immense double vanity as well as 2 linen closets. A dedicated office/exercise room w/built-in shelving & access to the upper porch completes the second floor. Permanent stairs to the vaulted, spray-foamed attic provide easy access to loads of easy access storage and/or future expansion potential. Across the motorcourt, a carriage house offers parking for 2 cars, under-stair storage, an attached shed, & private access to a large, finished flex space & full bathroom. If you’re a golf lover, the backyard delights with a professionally installed tee box & putting green but at almost 0.4 acres the lot can also easily accommodate a pool & pool house. Ideally situated just blocks from Buckhead’s world-class shopping & dining, 5-star hotels & Fortune 500 office space but tucked away beneath a dense green tree canopy, Peachtree Park truly feels like an oasis in the city. Unique amenities like a pocket playground & neighborhood garden along with a multitude of activities planned by an active civic association serve to promote a strong sense of community & belonging. In addition, Peachtree Park has no cut-through access so the streets are often filled with residents who stop to greet one another. Welcome home to 601 E Paces Ferry Rd.
