The Gates sits conveniently on Peachtree Road, but Unit 25 is tucked at the back of the community, behind the guarded entrance on Lakeview Avenue, with a tree line view across to Parkside Drive Park. Walk out the gate and the Duck Pond is fifty yards away, a fairy tale of a park where the neighbors go for a picnic, a dog walk, a walk with friends, or all three. Peachtree Heights East has one of the more active neighborhood associations in Buckhead and a friendly, social feel that comes with it. La Grotta (the best Italian in Atlanta) is a block in one direction. Publix and the rest of the everyday errand staples are a block in the other. Looking for an elevator? There’s a great place to put one that will connect all of the floors easily.
Main Floor
Living and dining rooms open into one another and into a kitchen with high-end appliances and cabinetry to match. The library is the surprise, lined floor to ceiling with custom bookshelves, and with a full bath right there it works just as easily as a fourth bedroom. Off the living room is the covered terrace, facing the trees, with a fountain gurgling away in the background. It is where you will have your coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night.
Second Floor
The primary suite is large, with a full bath and a generous walk-in closet. The best part is the sunroom off the bedroom, a wall of glass revealing the same green view as the terrace below. The primary bathroom has a separate garden tub and shower, all of which have been renovated. It features another big window with a view of the tree canopy outside. Restful, quiet, and hard to leave. A second en suite guest bedroom shares this floor and the laundry is in the center hallway.
Third Floor: The Grandchildren’s Paradise
Set up as a playroom with beds, a walk-in closet, and a full bath. Sleepovers, cousins, houseguests, all of it happens up here without touching the rest of the house.
Terrace Level
Three garage spaces, two side by side and one tandem, plus a workshop or hobby room and the kind of storage that townhomes rarely offer.
