The serendipitous juxtaposition of this sophisticated Virginia country home in the heart of Vinings is a treasure for all who experience it. On one side, there is the privacy and calm of the Polo fields, while on the other side, access to Vinings’ world class shopping, dining and schools. It is a wonderful life to be nestled in this comfortable, luxurious lifestyle that is only a stone’s throw away from the action.
The home at 4550 Polo Lane perfectly situated on the 1+/- acre flat lot and was impeccably designed by Jay Dalgiesh of the architectural firm of Dalgliesh, Gilpin and Paxton. No, these are architects are not local – they are Virginians and the design reflects that heritage. Now that you know that, can you imagine this estate being just as at home in the streets of Williamsburg?
It is such a treat that we get to enjoy this home full of history here in Atlanta. Fortunate new owners will enjoy authentic architectural details like five masonry fireplaces with mantle pieces from old Virginia plantation homes, including one which is believed to be from Revolutionary War. Rich wainscoting was transplanted from an 1800s Virginia home and the 8” heart pine floors are from a cotton mill in Savannah. The wide central hall way is reminiscent of those days where grand entrances were common and gatherings lingered in the front rooms of the house. There are traditional formal rooms here in the front of the home, all with crown molding, fresh paint, large windows, and proportionate and spacious rooms.
Balancing out the warmth of historical highlights are fresh elements like ten-foot ceilings and a large family room with heart pine beams. The entirely new kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and ample storage in the many cabinets and the central island.
A clever opening between the kitchen and the family room creates bar seating and ensures that the chef and their guests are intertwined. The master bathroom has been totally remodeled and the additional four bedrooms and three full bathrooms are refreshed as well.
Maybe one of the best ways to experience the pleasures and peace of this country setting is by sitting a spell. The rocking chair front porch is a perfect place to wait for and greet friends, while the back sunroom and screened porch offer a more private, casual setting.
This lovely, inviting, traditional luxury home is just a few miles from the best schools and city life but, joyfully, it seems so much farther away.
