Located at 280 Old Ivy Road in Atlanta, Georgia this 9,200+/-square-foot home features seven bedrooms and offers the best of Buckhead. Only a few miles from GA-400 but situated in a strictly residential enclave this home is a commuter’s dream. It’s also only one mile from the posh Phipps Plaza Mall which has long defined the Buckhead standard for upscale shopping and fine dining.
At first glance this majestic home seems somewhat surreal. The collection of angled roof lines and building materials across the edifice of the front of the home flawlessly flow into the blanket of soft, green grass that softly covers the front lawn. The colorful flowers and exotic foliage, coupled with the aesthetics of the home’s exterior, are so beautiful they could have been painted on a canvas. It is, however, very tangible.
Though each space inside this home is exquisitely unique in its own right underlying design elements tie the rooms together in the most sophisticated way. Gleaming hardwoods feature natural tones that gorgeously reflect daylight from the bright and sunny windows of various shape and character throughout the home. Elegant accents such as subtle chair railings and trim details make this home appear larger than life. Trey ceilings, arched entryways and elaborate lighting, such as is evident in the formal dining room, distinguish this home.
The master bedroom is a magnanimous space set beneath dramatic trey ceilings with a fireside sitting room separate from the main sleeping quarters. The main-level master suite includes a coffee bar, spa-style master bath with barrel vaulted ceiling and an unbelievably spacious walk-in closet.
The foyer space is a grand presentation with tiered trey ceilings and embellished entryways leading to other luxurious areas of the main level. Windows line the walls, interrupted only by intricate trim work. A curious interior Juliet’s balcony peaks down from above, while recessed display shelves are built in to showcase the finest pieces of art in the proprietor’s collection.
The kitchen is nothing less than breathtaking where exaggerated elements correspond with those found in the rest of the home. A large white granite slab sprawls out around the sink forming a breakfast bar and ample space for preparing gourmet meals. Sub-Zero refrigerator, pasta arm and horizontal gray scale tiles fill the area around the white counters and cabinets, pervading the space with stylish class.
A cozy den sits on a unique slant pattern wood floor beneath wood ceiling panels that run straight in the opposite direction. A breathtaking gray river granite fireplace breaks through the middle of the room, and the space is perfectly balanced with outdoor views making for a relaxing and Zen lounging space.
Elaborate and imaginative design elements create a whimsical vibe all throughout this home. Partial vaulted ceilings rise up over one bedroom, while angular roof lines make for playful spaces in another. The terrace level offers more surprises around every corner with so many design facets to explore. On the terrace level, you will find an oversized wine cellar, full kitchen and an auto showroom accessible via some of the home’s 10+ garage bays.
There is much more for you to discover in this amazing home. Homes of this caliber are intended solely for an owner of a particular character with impeccable taste. This distinctive home awaits your distinguished arrival at 280 Old Ivy Road in Atlanta, Georgia.
