17 Habersham Cove Drive is in a small, quiet, and private double cul-de-sac 10-home community with young families and retirees alike. The charming homes, serene setting, and lush landscaping on this private street off of Habersham Road make it hard to believe you’re just around the corner from the Buckhead Village in one direction, and Chastain Park in the other. Restaurants like Hal’s, Chopped and Cava, along with kid-friendly places like Menchie’s are a short walk away. Amenities abound in this brick home, in which sunlight pours through walls of windows on all sides of the house. Throughout its life, the home has been upgraded and impeccably maintained. Foam insulation in the attic has increased efficiency, and all three HVAC units have been replaced with new, higher-efficiency units within the last two years. The exterior was recently repainted, as were many of the bedrooms.
Step into a backyard of lush gardens, salt-water pool with a stone waterfall spa, a koi pond, and a beautiful natural gas fire pit, and be transported to a nature sanctuary only steps from the heart of Buckhead! The stunning travertine pool patio surrounds an oversized pool. The pool was recently refinished with PebbleTec, and it includes an electric safety cover. The sumptuous, mature gardens are the product of multiple large-scale landscaping projects and years of loving gardening labor by the seller. The property and gardens are well-equipped with an irrigation system and landscape lighting that highlight the beautiful contours of the gardens at night.
Main Level
The grand entry foyer is flanked by the formal dining room and a fireside living room. A wet bar with under-counter fridge and ice-maker connects the living room to the fireside family room, kitchen, and breakfast nook.
The home boasts a common sense, economical design in which the kitchen, breakfast nook, and open family room function as the heart of the main floor. Glass doors in the family room provide access to a roomy covered back deck with lounging and dining areas, as well as an open deck area for grilling and container gardening.
The kitchen was upgraded with exotic granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Custom white cabinets surround a central island that houses the gas cooktop and provides counter seating. Other features include a wine fridge and a walk-in pantry.
Bedrooms
Upstairs you’ll find the generous primary suite with large bathroom, separate large tub, shower, and water closet, plus two separate walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms are upstairs; one bedroom has its own bathroom, while the other two share a jack-and-jill bathroom.
Terrace level
An extensive renovation on the full daylight terrace level added an exercise room, inviting sunroom, and full-sized bar with Quartzite counters and Italian glass backsplash tiles. The bar has not only a beverage fridge and ice maker, but also an oven/microwave and dishwasher. The family room features six glass doors that lead to the sunroom and the pool terrace beyond; allowing the sunroom to function as both an extension of the family room and standalone office/sunroom. A private guest suite on the terrace level features natural light and an ensuite bath.
Tuxedo Park
Tuxedo Park is the undisputed top-shelf neighborhood in Buckhead. The rich history of this area goes deeper than many residents may realize. This early Atlanta suburb was only woods and farmland at the beginning of the 20th century, but that quickly changed. Wealthy Atlantans began building homes along Paces Ferry around 1904, many used as summer or country estates with farm animals and extensive gardens. Tuxedo Park expanded North several blocks from there and has kept its refined Southern elegance ever since.
The Tuxedo Park Civic Association holds social events, hires private security officers, and generally keeps the neighborhood connected despite the mostly gated and secluded estates. With its historic mansions and picturesque landscaping, Tuxedo Park is aptly named for this sophisticated neighborhood of magnificent residences. Some of the finest estates in Buckhead are located in the prestigious Tuxedo Park neighborhood.
Although the city of Atlanta has grown to surround this once-remote area, the neighborhood still maintains an aura of seclusion and escape. The manicured grounds and varied architecture of the homes give the neighborhood a formal air befitting its name.
