Classic Midcentury Modern luxury located in one of Buckhead’s finest neighborhoods, in Atlanta’s most sought-after zip code. Sublime & understated Midcentury sophistication captures your imagination as you cross the Pennsylvania Bluestone walkway, approach the Western Windows glass front door, and admire the curated front garden. The home’s entry gallery welcomes you inside, ultimately leading you to a lavish & manicured rear garden which is anchored by an exquisite Japanese-inspired screened teahouse. Award-winning Atlanta design & architecture firm DENCITY was commissioned to reimagine the home and the final result is nothing short of an architectural masterpiece. Original Midcentury design elements will delight the purists: vaulted ceilings, skylights, honey-toned wood paneling, built-in vintage cocktail bar, walls of stacked stone, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders which blur the lines between inside & outside. Angular roof lines contrast with the geometric repeating horizontal lines of the brick exterior and slatted railings. Modernists will immediately recognize & appreciate the masterful attention to detail and the seamless use of technology which has been incorporated into the original home: Velux skylights with motorized cellular shades, Emtek door levers and knobs, & Elfa shelf/rod closet systems. A true chef’s kitchen is the centerpiece of the great room where luxury appliances, stone counters, book-matched walnut-veneered cabinets, & a massive center island, elevate the kitchen into a work of art. Kitchen features: Subzero 42” French door refrigerator/freezer, Wolf 30” electric oven, Wolf 24” steam oven, Wolf 24” drawer microwave, Wolf 36” induction cooktop, & Miele dishwasher. Adjacent the kitchen & great room & along the North wall you’ll find the primary suite which is a continued exercise in timeless Midcentury design: clerestory windows, stacked stone, walnut cabinetry, & floor-to-ceiling sliders opening onto the rear gardens. The primary bathroom effortlessly comforts & cradles with heated floors, a floating walnut double vanity, glass steam shower, & custom closets. In true Midcentury Modern fashion, the family room is located in the center of the home, & allows you to relax by the fire, enjoy a cocktail at the bar, get lost in a book, or simply bask in the beauty of the beautiful wood paneled walls. The family room, like the primary suite, great room, & guest suite offers direct access to the rear gardens & teahouse. The South wing of the home offers three generous bedrooms, all with private en suite baths. The serene garden is a highlight of the recent renovation. Maintaining a comfortable, consistent temp thru-out the home is achieved by three Ecobee smart thermostats with 6 remote sensors & two new HVAC units (zoned, heat-pumps) with new ducting/registers/returns. Additionally, the residence is serviced by a whole-house generator. Enjoy meals with friends & guests, relaxing glasses of wine, or morning cups of coffee & quiet solitude in the screened teahouse. Cooled by fans and heated by infrared heaters, the teahouse is usable year-round; one could easily add an outdoor kitchen if desired. Storage options are plentiful with the 2-car garage & partial basement. Situated in a quiet verdant neighborhood within 3 miles of several top Atlanta schools, this home is just a short drive from Midtown, with its business, universities, restaurants and entertainment. Truly exceptional homes become available rarely & this is one of those rare times. Don’t let this opportunity to pass you by.
