Resting at 3363 Wood Valley Road NW atop a grassy hill in Atlanta’s most prestigious suburb of Buckhead, this five-bedroom home rises from a stacked stone wall. The front steps lead to an entry portico and the front door sits tucked inside the handsome stone accent wall that outlines the interior foyer space. Once inside, gleaming hardwood floors shine as the daylight floods in from the large windows of the double front doors. A fanciful staircase sits just to the left forming a unique curvilinear wall. Overhead, the catwalk also sits on a curve, and a dark pin-line accent runs along the thick crown molding that adorns the tops of all the main level walls. This subtle detail truly makes all the difference in the design of this home.
A large dining room sits to the right of the foyer and features a faux frame chair rail. The same chair rail lines the walls of the formal living room straight ahead of the foyer. A similar faux frame detail then runs up the walls and between the windows. A massive fireplace with exaggerated woodwork and mantle attest to the grandeur this home entails. This room reaches great heights as second-story windows seem to go up indefinitely.
Behind the front staircase, a contemporary take on a traditional study creates an inspiring and creative opportunity for a home office. Classic architectural elements come together with modern built-in shelving that encompasses the entire wall.
Off the kitchen, a distinctive breakfast nook sits inside a dramatic bay with deliberately angled windows that close in on the intimate space and fill it with sunlight. The kitchen is the perfect space for gourmet or casual cooking. The two-tiered island houses the sink and some appliances on the lower counter and a breakfast bar on the second tier, making for smart use of the space. The back of the island features wood wainscot paneling and overstated corbel supports that add the perfect touch of elegance. Simple white cabinets and natural tone backsplash laid in a brick pattern are subtle yet classy so as not to make the space too extravagant.
A large family room sits opposite the kitchen. Sunny windows fill the back wall, highlighting the flooring. Built-ins flank another gorgeously trimmed fireplace with wainscoting, decorative column millwork and a marble hearth that sits flawlessly flush with the hardwood flooring.
Upstairs, the master quarters creates a cozy retreat. In the master bedroom, a high cathedral ceiling soars over the sleeping quarters. In contrast, a dropped ceiling invents a relaxing and warm reading nook that sits off to the side, set within bay windows. Here, just the right amount of natural lighting is allowed into the room to set a soothing tone. The master bathroom leaves an even bigger impression. Large stone tiles line the floor and rise around the soaking tub and lower half of the otherwise seamless shower, yielding only to the picture window over the tub. A vanity sits along the opposite wall with a large mirror reflecting sunlight across the space.
The staircase that rises from the foyer and connects the main and upper levels creates a beautiful view looking up or down. The white spindles juxtaposed against the wood stairs and flooring, along with the flow of the rounded railings, create a musical aesthetic attune to that of a baby grand piano.
Unique spaces and uses of architectural lines and elements are what make this home exceptional. Outdoor spaces are just as remarkable and include grassy patches of lawn, a covered stone patio, an open-air stone patio and ample spaces for gardening.
