For the most discriminating buyer, this home represents the warmth and permanence of a distinctive home with a storied past and timeless appeal. Once the family home of noted amateur golfer and civic leader, Charles Yates, his wife Dorothy, an avid gardener and their four children; the property has been meticulously maintained, and renovated and expanded by its subsequent owners. A third level with two bedrooms and a full bath, as well as the current family room were added in the 90’s. The present owner has added the guest house, garage and terrace where a basketball court once stood; expanded and renovated the kitchen; and added the breakfast room and the solarium. One of three secondary bedrooms was incorporated to expand the master bedroom suite to include a comfortable fireside sitting area, an updated Waterworks master bath and his and hers walk-in closets. Virtually all the plumbing and electrical wiring were replaced during the two major renovation projects.
The distinguished English Tudor style home with its elegant arched entrance features the original clay tile roof, copper gutters and downspouts, gas lanterns and strategic stone accents. The detached Carriage House and additions feature standing seam copper metal roofs. A wrought iron, electric gate sits at the top of the impressive drive for added security and privacy. A whole house generator ensures power regardless of what the Atlanta weather may bring. The professionally designed gardens, beautiful in any season, are accented in the evening by lovely landscape lighting. Exquisite art collections are highlighted by the extensive track lighting throughout the home’s interior.
Beyond the distinctive, arched wooden entrance door, an elegant foyer is flanked on either side by arched openings leading to the gracious formal dining and living rooms. The living room is anchored at one end by a gallery displaying some of the present owner’s art collections and a cozy, sunny solarium with French casement windows. The formal living room flows into a stunning family room equipped with surround sound, bookcases and one of three wood burning fireplaces in the home.
The kitchen is bright and sunny with its wall of French casement windows, built-in banquette with hidden storage, display shelf and breakfast bar. The well equipped kitchen also features a commercial grade gas stove with oven, an additional oven and separate microwave, ice maker, dishwasher, Subzero refrigerator and gleaming black granite counters.
The sun drenched kitchen overlooks pristine gardens and a charming circular brick patio accented by an antique millstone – a perfect vantage point for bird watching and enjoying the seasonal color. Just beyond the patio is a brick terrace with vine covered trellis and sitting area, and the entrance to the charming Carriage House and its temperature controlled garage. The Carriage House has a full bath and beautifully appointed flexible space that is currently being used as a lovely guest house, media room and office.
