The feel of a single family home in a turn-key, low maintenance townhome! This elegant brick home has been renovated to the studs with impeccable attention to detail, ready for you to move in and put your feet up. The HOA even does all the the external upkeep for you! As I am creating this and posting I have already received 2 offers, so hurry if you’re interested!

This two story foyer and gorgeous staircase create a grand welcome, but you have everything you need to live on the main floor, from garages to master suite and laundry.

A large sitting room is anchored by a gas log fireplace and gleaming new hardwoods, which carry through the main floor.

With one of end of the room in floor to ceiling windows, the other end opens onto a private back deck. This is an end unit, allowing for windows on three sides of the living spaces, bathing the home in light.

A spacious dining room around the corner also overlooks the deck. French doors with transoms create some separation between dining and kitchen without blocking any light or flow when entertaining.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully and thoroughly renovated with a soft neutral palette, beautiful custom cabinetry, and lots of bright counter space. The breakfast room is a sunny spot to start your day. And unlike many townhouse communities now, there are no stairs between the garage and main floor, so carrying groceries in is a breeze.

And the storage! The renovations were done with an eye for smart, easy-access storage. You’ll find solutions like this great spice cabinet tucked throughout the house.

Master suite is on the main floor, with hardwoods and a bright bay window looking out onto a lovely greenscape.

The master bath has a huge double vanity with plenty of storage, a fresh tile surround, and large walk-in shower.

The updated laundry room is conveniently located beside the master suite.

Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with shuttered windows and fresh neutral carpet. One is currently a lounge and would be a great work-from-home office or exercise room.

A full bath is shared by the two upstairs rooms, which was also fully renovated and updated.

Tucked up to a 25 acre nature reserve, 9 Albemarle is in an enclave of just 11 homes on a private street. With shelter-in-place fresh on our minds, many home buyers are thinking not only about their living spaces but also about how we live in our homes more than ever. And if you are looking for generous space and serenity, this may be the perfect place for you to call home. Designed by acclaimed Atlanta architect Kenneth Lynch, it is a timeless and gracious home with beautiful updates to make it move-in ready.

Traditional vernacular architecture and a shake shingle roof create a welcoming first impression. The home’s threshold is reached via a wide front porch, with room for comfortable seating sheltering under a classic southern blue ceiling.

The entrance hall opens to the main floor living areas, each distinctive but with an open flow throughout. The beautiful millwork in the entrance hall continues throughout the home with unique fireplace surrounds, built in shelving, and elegant cornicing.

Stepping down from the entrance hall is the formal living room with two walls of windows to let in plenty of natural light, a beautiful fireplace with Federal-style mantel, and more of the woodwork you will see throughout the home.

Across the hall is the formal dining room with plenty of room for a generous table seating 10-12 people.

A butler’s pantry between the dining room and kitchen is so rare these days! Keep everything you need for entertaining at your fingertips!

The updated custom kitchen is really special, with cabinetry evoking an old-world aesthetic with refined, luxurious surfaces and finishes.

Again, this home is all about the feeling of serenity, with impeccable details that underscore its everyday luxury – the woodwork detailing on the wine bar and center island being a case in point.

Adjoining the kitchen is this hearth-side dining area for weeknight family dinners. Like the butler’s pantry, the brick hearth is a rare feature!

A sunny keeping room off the kitchen and dining space has a vaulted ceiling and views of the greenery outside; important, given how many of us are working from home more than ever, the french doors can be closed as needed.

The real heart of the family home, the kitchen and dining area opens onto a large deck and overlooks the back yard and green space, with french doors you can open wide for summer entertaining.

This gorgeous laundry room certainly brightens up necessary household tasks; an adjoining informal office space could serve as a sewing or craft space as well.

The second floor holds the 3 generously sized en suite bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with a dressing room and large bathroom with double vanity, free standing soaking tub, and walk-in shower.

While the finishes are minimal, they are truly elegant, with accents carefully chosen to compliment the serenity of the space.

The terrace level is fully finished and houses two large play and living rooms and a bedroom suite.

Vaulted ceilings, a wet bar, wood burning stove, and exterior french doors make this a true upgrade from many finished basement levels.

Full sized windows and generous ceiling height, along with a large walk-in shower make this suite perfect for visiting grandparents or guests.

Mature trees, beautiful landscaping, and a generous deck form the backdrop of this home’s tranquil setting. You may be minutes from shopping, dining, and schools (the neighborhood is 2 minutes from The Westminster School’s back entrance), but your peace won’t be disturbed by through traffic or highway noise.

On a private cul de sac with a flat parking area just off the front porch, you can teach the kids how to ride their bikes or take an evening stroll without constantly watching for traffic.

Speaking of Grand Openings- Chicken Salad Chick is opening its newest Atlanta location in Vinings Station, Wednesday, March 7. If you haven’t heard of Chicken Salad Chicks, they’re an Auburn, Alabama based fast-casual restaurant owned by Stacy Brown with great Southern classics like chicken salad and pimento cheese.

Southern Living raves about their grape chicken salad recipe and for a good reason- it’s addictive!  Here is their Vinings store page with all the details of their location and menu. I’ll do a Facebook live video tomorrow to share my experience with you all. You can “like” or follow my Real Vinings|Buckhead page for more of what makes my town a great place to call home.

As always, if I can show you around and help you find a home here, I’d be more than happy to chat or meet with you. Let me know how I can help!
