Anchored at 2920 Habersham Way NW in Atlanta’s elite residential Buckhead community, this home is nothing short of a modern-day castle.
It is constructed of imported English brick, a material known to be superior in strength and beauty based on the English brick mason craft that dates back to castle construction. Rising up from the land, this three-story home peaks just below the treetops, which form a natural privacy wall around the home.
The outer wall of the main portion of the house mimics the ramparts in a medieval castle design, while the gardens that lie around this house are exceptional and give the property even more regal prestige.
Inside the foyer, overstated trim and entry casings make a significant statement as they hover high over grey tile flooring that would go perfectly inside any classic castle we could imagine. Chunky column details adorn the corners, while a limestone stair case curves around to the upper level as if it were a giant ballerina. An exaggerated faux frame wall detail and ornate mantle in the living room, along with the incredible ceiling heights, truly take a breath from first-time visitors and repeating spectators alike when they enter into this space. A vast bay of floor to ceiling windows soars above allowing the brightest light to fill the space.
The dining room is just as ornate with a columned fireplace and extravagant chandelier that matches the scale of the room. A herringbone pattern in the hardwood floors is symbolic of the quality of craftsmanship of this home.
A dark wood paneled study sets focus on another fireplace and makes for a handsome room perfect for introspection. The kitchen could be mistaken for a movie set in an adaptation of Robin Hood with an oversized brick frame defining the range, natural wood cabinets and other old world details such as the designer tile counter atop the kitchen island. Other subtle details in the design of this space speak to the homage of style and design that the upper class enjoyed some 1,500 years ago. More intimate than the formal dining hall but no less impressive, the casual dining space features heightened windows and doors that lead to a balcony just outside. Here a striking white fireplace juxtaposed against the brick and over-sized stone masonry will make anyone you’re entertaining realize this home’s (and its owner’s) importance.
The master bedroom does not disappoint and features hardwood floors, tall windows and plenty of space. Elaborate tile detail on the floor and around the soaking tub make the master bath hold its own among the dozens of notable spaces and design concepts found in this home.
Take the stairs down to the terrace level where faux wood tile mimics the cellar you’d expect to see laid beneath a mighty castle. Living spaces, a wet bar and an awe inspiring wine cellar behind heavy, rustic old world wooden doors occupy this level. A spacious covered patio affords room to entertain a large guest list at the terrace level. Stone and brick serve as the décor around the exterior of the home where geometric stair cases, stone statues and white washed arched brick alcoves become a part of the art.
Complete with a moat and draw bridge out back, this house will appeal to a concentrated buyer looking for distinction in a home that matches this person’s own reputation.
Those in the market for a new home in Buckhead will be hard pressed to find anything better in terms of quality and statement than what is offered at 2920 Habersham Way NW in Atlanta, Georgia.
