The estate home at 956 Stovall Boulevard has been carefully handled throughout the years to ensure each of the three owners have had the happiest and most satisfying home ownership experience.
It is extraordinary that this home, built in the 1930s, has been able to maintain its stately presence while also undergoing timeless updates to remain a modern and livable residence.
The first family who owned the home made a major and long-lasting contribution – to the landscaping of the one-acre property- including footpaths, hardscapes and a sunken garden. A second owner of the property was also a passionate gardener and many of the unique varieties of plants still grace the gardens in this home. The gardens are so magnificent that the current owners list “looking out the windows into the gardens” as one of their favorite aspects of the home – especially from the master bedroom.
A jewel in the crown of the garden in this Historic Brookhaven home is the fountain in the backyard — a reclaimed syrup kettle from Columbus, GA, that was poured and cast in sand. Another relic on the property is a cabin built in 1837 that was moved from Habersham County. It adds an element of interest and privacy to this pristine outdoor space.
Over the years, the home has benefited from loving renovations to include a magnificent kitchen with antique custom cabinetry, a Turkish limestone floor, top of the line appliances including a Miele dishwasher, a LaCourne oven, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The stonework in the kitchen was imported from L’Isle sur la Sorgue in Provence, and was installed using the authentic French method. Nestled into the stone wall of the kitchen mantel are two treasures brought home from the owners’ Egyptian travel.
One of the most amazing rooms in this home is located below the basement. That’s right, there’s a unique, exquisite wine cellar there that’s home to artist Randy Minert’s work in the chandeliers and wine racks. South Georgia artist Saint Emo provided the stonework to emulate wine cellars in Burgundy, France.
Gatherings are delightful and easy in this home as there are many large rooms to host friends and family. Attention to detail is found in these spaces, too. In the great room, massive beams were brought in from an Amish farm in Ohio and were also used to create many of the massive doors in the home. Museum lighting is found throughout the home, awaiting the new owners’ collection.
The master bedroom is truly a retreat – large enough for a separate sitting area and plenty of floor space. The adjoining master bath is breathtaking with its white and grey palate, gleaming accents, and inviting soaking tub.
This unique old-world style home is situated in one of Atlanta’s most desirable locations – near the Capital City Club, in the Sarah Smith School district, and just minutes to Atlanta’s finest shopping establishments like Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall. Historic Brookhaven is indeed the ideal location, for this, very special home.
