Property Description

Introducing 1028 Nawench, a residence of unparalleled architectural significance and one of Atlanta’s most iconic Modernist homes. Designed by Joseph Amisano as his personal retreat, this home stands as the city’s first authentic modern residence. Amisano, a luminary among Atlanta’s architects, has left an indelible legacy, shaping the cityscape with landmark projects such as the original High Museum of Art, the Woodruff Arts Center, the original Federal Reserve Bank, Lenox Mall, and co-designed Colony Square. Set on a tranquil, wooded 2-acre lot, the home is constructed of robust concrete and is perfectly positioned to overlook a serene, babbling brook. The current custodians, committed to preserving Amisano’s vision while embracing contemporary comforts, enlisted renowned architect Frank Neely to reimagine the interior. Every detail has been meticulously renovated, embodying both respect for the past and thoughtful modernization. The two-story great room greets with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking views of the secluded landscape, harmoniously connecting to the formal dining area and an eat-in kitchen with strikingly high ceilings. This chef’s haven boasts sleek, modern cabinetry, a suite of professional appliances, and designer lighting that complements the home’s expansive windows. The main level hosts three exquisite guest suites, including the former primary suite, featuring dual vanities, a floating soaking tub, and a frameless walk-in shower. The reimagined lower level serves as an opulent owner’s sanctuary, featuring a serene bedroom with a sitting area, an expansive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath adorned with dual vanities, an onyx-accented frameless walk-in shower, and refined details throughout. A dedicated laundry room complete with a dog-washing station adds a layer of thoughtful convenience. Outdoors, a series of majestic terraces and patios enhance the estate’s allure, anchored by an expansive entertaining patio with a dramatic staircase descending to the lower yard, fully illuminated by landscape lighting. The interiors, curated by the designer-owner, exude sophistication with custom walnut cabinetry, bespoke South African furnishings, and intricate designer accents throughout. This home, complete with a two-car garage, resides in the heart of Buckhead and falls within the coveted Morris Brandon Elementary district.
