With its stately Federal-style architecture, original Savannah grey brick exterior, slate roof and ideal location on a quiet corner overlooking a majestic avenue of palm trees, this sophisticated five-bedroom, four-bath home stands apart as one of the finest homes in the Ardsley Park neighborhood. Located on an oversized home site at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and 44th Street, this inspired 1933 home includes an exquisite garden designed and installed by acclaimed British horticulturalist Rosemary Verey and celebrated Atlanta garden designer Ryan Gainey. Anchored by mature camelias, crepe myrtles, boxwoods and citrus trees, the garden includes elegant hardscapes and lush, intimate outdoor spaces. Infused with dazzling natural light and defined by classic Savannah elegance, this impressive home welcomes visitors with a grand foyer with ornate plaster moldings and a sweeping staircase. On the main level, a formal dining room with a crystal chandelier and windows overlooking the avenue of palms provides an ideal location for dinner parties or family meals. A large family room includes casement windows, built-in bookcases, a fireplace and French doors that lead to a brick sunroom with graceful arched windows and lovely garden views. Also on the main level, one-bedroom suite with a handicap-accessible bath provides an ideal space for guests or for an au pair. A spacious kitchen includes custom cabinets, butcherblock countertops, white tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and heart pine floors and offers easy access to and adjacent mudroom and laundry room with exposed brick. A butler’s pantry includes a wet bar, glass-front cabinets and ample storage. On the second level, a large master suite includes a sitting room separated by French doors, a fireplace and his-and-hers baths. An en suite bedroom that could also serve as a master suite features a spacious walk-in closet and crown moldings. A third bedroom that currently serves as a home office with a built-in desk, cabinetry and storage rounds out the upstairs living spaces. A comfortable sitting area with built-in bookshelves and a double cedar closet are thoughtful additions to the second-floor layout.
