Located at 200 Montgomery Ferry Drive in Ansley Park, The Villa was voted one of Atlanta’s 50 most beautiful homes by Atlanta Magazine. Built around 1920, this one-of-a-kind landmark building was designed by architect Philip T. Shutze nearly a century ago. Shutze, whose other notable works include the historic Swan House, designed The Villa in the Roman Classical style. In fact, if you have ever visited Rome or have studied its magnificent architecture, you may recognize certain aspects of this property. The similarities didn’t happen by chance; Shutze actually modeled the front of The Villa after the Cortile of the Chiesa di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome.
Almost completely surrounded by the Ansley Golf Club, Residence 1 in The Villa provides a rare opportunity to live in this gracious and beloved property. Thoughtfully and historically renovated by combining two properties occupying the front right corner of The Villa, Residence 1 offers a spacious floor plan, 10-foot ceilings and incredible golf course views from every window.
From the moment you arrive, The Villa’s grand entrance hall welcomes you with timeless elegance. A soaring ceiling and the black and white checkerboard tile floor hint at the carefully preserved details on display throughout the property.
From the main corridor, you enter the residence’s dedicated dining area. Bright with light streaming in from two large windows, this charming space features hardwood floors and a wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinets, filling it with warmth and character. Large enough to comfortably seat eight or more, it is the perfect size for entertaining and makes an immediate statement upon entering the home.
An oversized doorway connects the dining and living areas through an open hallway with convenient access to a separate laundry room. The gorgeous living room features exquisitely carved ornate wall molding, turning the room into a gallery of fine craftsmanship and a true work of art. These intricate details bring a formality to the space that is elegant yet casually inviting.
Continue beyond the living room, and you will find one of two bedrooms. This cozy room features two closets, hardwood floors and a fully remodeled bathroom, complete with a soaking tub.
The eat-in kitchen seamlessly blends modern finishes with period details, including a black and white checkerboard tile floor, white cabinetry with glass knobs, built-in wine storage, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and a white subway tile backsplash. Large enough for a table and chairs, it provides the perfect spot for serving up your favorite dish.
With a split floor plan, the second bedroom sits just beyond the kitchen. Large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, the room incorporates design elements from other areas of the home, such as built-in bookshelves and hardwood floors, adding character and creating continuity of style. A fully renovated bathroom with a walk-in tile shower and stone-topped vanity complete the space.
This fabulous residence is nestled in the shadows of Downtown Atlanta’s skyline and enjoys convenient access to the best the city has to offer. With its wide, winding tree-lined streets, Ansley Park’s lush parks, historically important architecture and a strong sense of community make it a great place to live. Don’t miss this opportunity to add your name to the list of “who’s who” that over the years have made The Villa their home. Contact the agent to schedule a viewing of this historic property.
