The Bellaire is a gated community of eight custom-built townhomes in the coveted Brookhaven community. 1262 Bellaire Lane NE, No. 7 is a sophisticated, four-bedroom townhome. Historic Brookhaven has since long ago been a gorgeous sector of Atlanta, located less than 10 miles from downtown and only about one mile from Buckhead hotspots like Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza. Brookhaven, however, has developed its own culture over the last decade, and many trendy restaurants and hang outs have held their own and helped the area progress into the 21st century.
This all brick custom townhome was designed by prominent southern architect Michael Glass, whose residential and secondary home designs are among some of the best in the country. Each room is cloaked in its own charm, decorated in an array of styles and textures. One of the special features that the homeowner is especially pleased with is the wide plank heart pine hardwood floors that make an appearance on each of the four levels. They were lovingly salvaged from old South Georgia landmarks and are proudly on display in this classic home.
The foyer provides a peek into a variety of spaces including the living room, the dining room and the up and downstairs levels. It may take a moment to absorb all that surrounds you, but once you take it all in, you begin to feel comfortable and perfectly at home. The living room sits stately beneath dramatic coffered ceiling tiles and very tall windows. A unique fireplace adorned with decorative Delftware tile is set within intricate woodwork that runs across the mantel and trim. To either side of the fireplace sit equally ornate display shelves with refined details that bring together both modern and antiquated elements of architecture.
The dining room is just as grand and formal as the living room, but accomplishes the mood with other character traits like an extravagant crystal chandelier and floods of daylight coming in through heightened doors and windows. Exaggerated crown molding is nicely offset by a more graceful chair rail that travels around the room. Just outside is a cozy patio surrounded by lush foliage.
The dining room and kitchen are adjoined by a butler’s pantry where glass-front cabinets, wainscot backsplash and detailed counter design serve as a segue into the more relaxed kitchen space. Here, soft and welcoming textures draw you in. Custom cabinets, a wood-top kitchen island/breakfast bar and bright, sunny kitchen sink windows invite guests to hang around. A decorative range hood with tiled art adds character and charm to this gourmet cook space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a quaint family room with shelves built in and reaching to the ceiling. Here, just enough daylight to warm the room is allowed to pass through the windows.
The master bedroom offers a more gentle tone with tall, slim shelving at the corners and dispersed windows that cast a softer glow of daylight across the room. A delicate hearth encases a fireplace, showcasing more Delftware tile. Arches rise high to either side, adding soft curves into the mix. The master bathroom is a delightful retreat with subtle natural lighting, wainscot chair rail and a soaking tub. A well-designed vanity and walk-in closet allow for plenty of room to recharge.
Additional bedrooms feature such elements as built-in shelves and window bench, wainscot wall treatment and a great deal of personality. An office study boasts a remix on the modern-day wood paneled library, offering a much bluer version.
The terrace level is just as elegantly decorated, with brick showing walls and exposed beam ceilings. An elevator will make traveling between levels a breeze.
This traditional townhome reminiscent of Federal-style architecture offers one of the most ideal locations for an Atlanta resident. Brookhaven is calling your name and has reserved a place for you at 1262 Bellaire Lane NE in Atlanta, Georgia.
