A Beautifully Renovated Residence Beautifies This Buckhead Neighborhood (Previously Listed) -

The home at 649 Old Ivy Road in Atlanta, Georgia is neatly tucked away in one of the most beautiful areas the city of Atlanta has to offer. The Buckhead community has long maintained an exemplary reputation for the variety of shops, restaurants and businesses within its business district, but those who wander away from the busy main thoroughfares will see the real jewel in this crown of Atlanta neighborhoods.

In actuality, Buckhead is and has always been the most desired residential address in the city. This area is home to some of the most elegant homes in the city and remains the cultural playground of the city’s most elite and historically respected families. Once off the beaten path most observers are amazed at the number of beautiful homes which occupy the well maintained, tree-lined streets of the neighborhoods within the Buckhead community. The residence at 649 Old Ivy Road is one such example.

This charming brick home appeals first from the curb with perfectly manicured and professionally designed landscaping on a one half acre lot. Two en suite bedrooms are featured on the main level with two additional bedrooms upstairs and a total of four full and one half bathrooms.

This home was originally built in 1957 and provided a wonderful canvas for the masterpiece it has become. Recently renovated by a noted Buckhead design firm, the home offers a wonderfully open, light-filled floor plan. The entry foyer leads directly into the formal dining room and the formal living room lies to the left just beyond a classic stair leading to the upstairs bedrooms. Beyond the living room lies the fireside great room and beyond that a beautifully designed screened porch runs the length of the home. The view from the screened porch into the rear grounds is pure wooded tranquility, complete with a rock-sculptured Koi pond.

The gourmet kitchen is filled with natural light and features stainless steel appliances with custom cabinets and a new travertine counter. A beautiful tongue and groove ceiling accompanies the brick motif tile floor which contrasts comfortably with the hardwood floors present through most of the main level. The kitchen adjoins a casual dining room which, though open to the great room, is elevated in a lovely example of functional design.
The main level master suite is a dream come true. Extremely spacious, the master suite features a fireside sitting room and vaulted ceiling. The master bathroom features dual vanities, a large vintage-styled soaking tub, and an artistically tiled shower enclosure.

The one aspect every home in this area has in common is that each seems to have its own unique personality, and it is perhaps this irony that makes this such a desired residential location. Many a Sunday drive has been filled with long awe-inspired gazes at these hidden treasures, the homes of this community. Imagine the pride you’ll feel when your daily drive ends in the driveway of your new home at 649 Old Ivy Road in Atlanta, Georgia.
