About This Home:
This is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 2-car garage for sale in Atlanta's prestigious Ansley Park neighborhood. Built in 1950 and completely renovated in recent years, this home features: an entry foyer with coat closet; large living room with fireplace, built-in bookcases, and French door to a vaulted screened porch; formal dining room with built-in cabinet; gourmet eat-in kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances; a wonderful master suite with large bedroom, his and hers custom closets, and a luxurious private bath with jetted tub, separate shower, and double vanity; 2 large secondary bedrooms and a renovated full hall bath (with private access from back bedroom). In addition to the delightful screened porch, there's a stone patio and a large, beautifully landscaped, privacy-fenced backyard. This house has a drive-under 2 car (tandem) garage with a large storage or workshop area as well as laundry connection in the basement.
The house is located in Ansley Park, a beautiful, park-like neighborhood with streets lined by some of the city's finest high-style residential architecture. This neighborhood was once home to the Governor's mansion, and still boasts many of Atlanta's finest homes -- both historic and modern. Ansley Park is an ideal residential enclave nestled between Buckhead to the north and Midtown to the south. Its tree-lined avenues provide a bucolic retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, even though it's only minutes from major business centers, as well as the city's finest shopping and restaurant districts. This is an affluent and historic neighborhood -- listed on the National Register of Historic Places [more info.] -- with a strong civic association and an equally strong sense of community. With residents ranging from CEOs to celebrities, the neighborhood has a long history of working together to maintain the highest quality of life.
In addition to several charming neighborhood parks, the neighborhood shares its eastern border with Piedmont Park, and its northern border with the private Ansley Golf Club. The western boundary (Peachtree Street) is home to the city's major arts venues, including the Woodruff Arts Center (including Symphony Hall and the Alliance Theatre) and the High Museum of Art. The southern boundary, 14th Street, is home to the 14th Street Playhouse and Colony Square -- a multi-use development with shopping, fine dining, businesses, a hotel, and condos.
Ansley Park residents have a variety of shopping destinations nearby. The Atlantic Station development is located just across the 17th Street bridge. Shops and restaurants located at Atlantic Station include (among many others): a 16-screen movie theatre with stadium seats; Ten Pin Alley (a sophisticated bowling alley, ultra-exclusive lounge, and American-themed eatery with vintage feel); Dillards; Banana Republic; Old Navy; Gap; Victoria's Secret; IKEA; Bath & Body Works; Dolce Enoteca; Geisha House; and a wide variety of restaurants and cafes. There's also a great new Target, a big LA Fitness Center, a Publix supermarket and 2 banks as well as a full-service dry cleaner. In addition to Atlantic Station, the boutiques, eateries, and clubs of Buckhead and Midtown stretch north and south along Peachtree Street, and the charming Virginia-Highland business district is only about a mile away.
