One of Atlanta’s most well known streets in Buckhead is West Paces Ferry. It is renowned for lavish estates, famous residents, pristine landscaping and magnificent architecture. The luxury home for sale at 650 West Paces Ferry Road fits into all these categories, plus it boasts a recent renovation that is the envy of all the homes in both directions on this famous Buckhead thoroughfare.
The stately Georgian architecture calls to so many with its timeless appeal. Sophistication exudes from the exterior and is graciously accented by mature and professional landscaping, including some native varieties. All four seasons are lovely in this home, especially in its lush and diverse gardens. Spring is a glorious time of year here, with thousands of blooms emerging. Summer is enjoyable with lush greenery and plenty of shade. The lovely hardscapes of the home, plus the spa-like swimming pool provide entertaining space and refreshing interludes during hotter times. Autumn brings splashes of rich hues, time to enjoy the koi pond; and everyone knows winter in Atlanta is just a couple of weeks – time to rest inside.
The combination of the sweeping drive to the home along with what awaits inside creates one of the most inviting spaces in Atlanta hospitality. A herringbone pattern in the foyer is just one of the many architectural details to absorb. Modern lighting plays off of traditional features like crown molding, chair rails and hardwood floors. Expansive windows invite natural light to fill this home with gracious warmth. The grand formal dining room is crowned with coffered ceilings and is surrounded by wainscoting that elegantly hides built-in storage. This space is large enough to seat 14 people comfortably – oh the memories that will be made within these walls!
The stunning kitchen was renovated from top to bottom in 2014. Fantastic features in this chef’s dream include two refrigerator/freezers and two dishwashers. Of course there is plenty of cabinet space and counter space. The countertops are tumbled granite, and the grand island has a walnut inset. Contemporary light fixtures add a flair that energizes a gathering of any size. The kitchen opens to a casual dining area and then outside to the patio and swimming pool. Adjacent to the kitchen, a light-filled painting atelier/office presents an inspiring workspace.
Of the five bedrooms in this 5,625+/- square feet home, the master bedroom is definitely the highlight. A fireplace adds a romantic touch to this room with vaulted ceilings and large windows. The new master bathroom/spa has a free-standing soaking tub that is nestled in a light-filled alcove. A double vanity, sleek marble shower and contemporary fixtures add a cultivated air to the space.
The current owners will miss so much about this property – but want to let you know that the things they love most about it include how private the space is while being so close to the conveniences of Buckhead’s shopping and business districts. It truly is an oasis in the heart of Atlanta. The home is just a short stroll along the sidewalk to Pace Academy and close to many other top-notch public and private schools.
