Walk out of the gated driveway on Ivy Road and you are standing on PATH400. Miles of trail run north toward Sandy Springs and south to the Atlanta BeltLine, and the current owners have used it nearly every day. That single detail explains a lot about this home. Ivy Road is a quiet, tree-lined dead-end street where neighbors know one another and there is no traffic, yet just beyond the tree line sits the heart of the Buckhead Business District. Nobu is a block away. So is Phipps Plaza, along with boutiques and restaurants that range from Michelin-star dining rooms to the kind of neighborhood spot you visit on a Tuesday. Few addresses in Atlanta deliver both halves of that equation this perfectly.
The house itself is a 1939 cottage that has been thoroughly renovated without losing its character, and it remains in top condition. The kitchen is the working center of the main floor, with white cabinetry and stainless appliances, and it opens directly to a family room anchored by built-ins. A formal dining room and a formal living room with a fireplace sit alongside. Off the kitchen, a screened porch under a vaulted ceiling looks out over the back yard, with a short flight of steps down to the detached two-car garage. Tucked off to the side is a cozy sunroom with its own fireplace, currently used as a private office, with views out to both the front and back yards. The owner’s suite is also on the main level, its renovated bath fitted with a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower.
2nd Floor
The 2nd floor is full of character. Here you will find two bedrooms and an updated bath, along with a reading nook tucked into the eaves.
Terrace Level
The daylight terrace level is fully finished and genuinely useful. A living area or office space opens onto a media room and a guest suite with its own full bath makes the lower floor work as well for visitors as it does for everyday life.
Outside, the flat front yard is fenced and gated, and the lot runs three-quarters of an acre deep, leaving generous room for gardening, play, or whatever the seasons call for.
North Buckhead has renovated cottages and it has deep lots, but the combination here is perfect: a 1939 home carried through a careful renovation, gated and private on three-quarters of an acre, at the end of a street with no traffic, with a trail network across the street and the best shopping in the Southeast a short walk away.
