800 Ponce de Leon Place, originally built as a single family home in 1910, has just been converted into eight individual 1 bedroom, 1 bath condos. Each unit is unique and offers a mix of historic Craftsman charm with modern conveniences including granite countertops and all new kitchen appliances (plus a washer/dryer in each unit), as well as marble tiled baths. [More info on all units.] All residences are accessible by guests via the grand front entry and many units have an alternate, private entry for the resident. There is gated parking at the back of the building (1 space per unit), and the public areas of the building have been exquisitely restored and accented with antiques and hand-crafted light fixtures. The crown jewel of this building is the spectacular rooftop terrace shared by all the residences. It is enormous and offers a skyline view of the city. The terrace has been completely outfitted with high quality furnishings including tables, outdoor living areas, restaurant-quality space heaters, and even a teak bar.
Virginia-Highland is a vibrant part of Atlanta and features one of the city's few true neighborhood business districts. This area boasts a strong neighborhood association that stays on top of issues affecting the community and quality of life. [More about the neighborhood.] This location is convenient to the wonderful shops and restaurants of Virginia-Highland. In addition to the businesses along Highland Avenue, you'll also find many other shops and restaurants along both Ponce de Leon Avenue and Monroe Drive as well as in nearby shopping districts including: Atlantic Station, Emory Village, Ansley Mall, Sage Hill Shopping Center, Little 5 Points, and, of course, the Midtown restaurant district. This area is also close to Emory University and just a short drive to Downtown Atlanta or Downtown Decatur.
There are many nearby wonderful amenities in the area. This location is convenient to several neighborhood parks. Piedmont Park, Atlanta's largest park and home to many of the city's biggest concerts and festivals, is only a few blocks away. Both John Howell Park and Orme Park are charming neighborhood parks nearby and offer new playgrounds and other features (Howell Park has a beach volleyball court!). Other major area amenities include: Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, Fernbank Forest and the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Candler Park (home to a public golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, sports fields, and brand new playground), and Freedom Park. Also nearby is the PATH -- a multi-use urban trail that is very popular with walkers, runners, cyclists and bladers.
Some major new developments are planned for this area. The new Ponce Park multi-use development will convert City Hall East into 182,610 sq. ft. of retail space, 154,380 sq. ft. of office space, and over 1,100 new residential units. The abandoned train tracks located nearby are also slated to become part of the new Beltline parkway that will connect the intown neighborhoods with an green ribbon of parkland and transit. A Beltline stop is planned about a block away from this building.
