Though the home at 2089 S Akin Drive NE in Atlanta, Georgia initially appears similar to many other fine homes in the Oak Grove Acres community, this one is truly special. The brick split-level architecture sits far back from the street on a nearly one half+/- acre lot presenting a stately image with a simple black and white exterior color scheme and the classic columned porch of the front entrance. What cannot be seen from here however is the completely overwhelming renovation that has transformed the interior of this residence into a true southern showplace.
The front foyer leads directly into the bright and amazingly open main living area of the home. Brilliant contemporary design allows the kitchen, great room and dining room to stand individually yet combine in a single cohesive space. At the far end, the formal dining room is defined by a contoured step which allows it to rise slightly above the great room. The great room opens to the kitchen with a large island and breakfast bar. The overall aesthetic flow of the space is expertly maintained by the gleaming hardwood floors covering the entire main living area and tied together by the elegant neoclassical-style molding encircling the entire space.
Twin transom-style French doors leading to the elevated deck on the rear of the home bring natural sunlight into the great room. The third set of French doors lead to a screened porch and a second deck. The screened porch is also elevated and features a cathedral ceiling with a ceiling fan. Not stopping there however, the home provides an elevated patio on the other side of the deck. The floor of the patio is comprised of slate colored tile. All three of these outdoor spaces feature wood railing in natural tones with metal pickets.
The gourmet kitchen is a culinary aficionado’s dream with custom cabinets, modern hardware, modern fixtures and stainless steel appliances. The range and oven are located in the island beneath a modern stainless steel range hood and the microwave oven is housed in a bar-like extension of the countertops opposite the island. Granite countertops and subway tile backsplash.
The extremely spacious master suite features hardwood floors, a massive stone fireplace and a stylish Minka-Aire ceiling fan. French doors in the master suite open to the back deck. The master bathroom features marble tile floors, a dual vanity with marble countertops and a seamless glass shower. A contemporary freestanding tub with modern fixtures is the focal point in this spa-like bathroom.
Each of the four additional bedrooms of the home is well-lit and spacious with hardwood floors. Two additional bathrooms have also been updated to feature modern fixtures and granite vanities. The daylight terrace level of the home is completely open with columns and a floor of white rectangular tiles. There are no boundaries defined on the terrace level rendering it perfectly apt to serve the imagination. Either a terrace level den, billiards room, fitness studio, home theater or some combination of any or all of these are completely possible in this space.
Those familiar with the city of Atlanta have always appreciated this quietly kept neighborhood of the metropolitan area. Located just inside the north Perimeter this community is nearly equal distances from the Northlake and Tucker area, the Druid Hills and Emory University area and Brookhaven. The quiet residential community enjoys the ease of access to major highways as well.
It has been said that location is everything, but the brass ring in this situation is renovation, renovation, renovation. This home is breathtaking in its beauty, ideal for its functionality and perfect for anyone seeking the tranquility of the suburbs with the convenience of the city. Experience this universal appeal for yourself at 2089 S Akin Drive NE in Atlanta, Georgia.
