At $1,250,000 on 1.39 acres in Paces, this is one of the best value opportunities available! The Paces area doesn’t offer many entry points at this price, and this one comes with a genuine mid-century modern house, a wooded lot with a stream, and one of the most convenient locations in Buckhead.
The address sits directly between Trinity, Lovett, and Westminster — equidistant, essentially, from three of the most sought-after private schools in Atlanta — and is zoned for Warren T. Jackson Elementary in Atlanta Public Schools. Interstate 75 is minutes away.
The Lot
The house is positioned to take full advantage of the views offered by the natural valley and stream that runs down the side of the property. The 1.39-acre lot, which extends far past the house to include dedicated play areas off both the main floor and the walkout terrace level below. It is a private, nature-forward setting that is genuinely rare in this area.
The Main Level
The architecture is the real thing — built in 1960 when mid-century modernism was still a living practice, not a style reference. Vaulted ceilings, open sight lines, and a disciplined indoor-outdoor logic define the home throughout.
The sunken living room is vaulted and centered on a brick fireplace, large enough for two seating areas, and opens through a full glass wall to a vaulted screened-in porch overlooking the trees. The views of the wooded rear carry through nearly every room on this side of the house — wildlife and birds are a daily feature.
The kitchen has a large island with a gas cooktop and connects to both a breakfast room with generous plate glass windows and a vaulted dining room with its own fireplace. A two-car garage sits just off the kitchen. The main bedroom wing has three bedrooms and two baths, including a primary suite with a separate tub and shower and a double vanity.
The Terrace Level
The lower level is full daylight with its own entrance — not a basement, but a complete second living floor. Sliding doors open from the main rec room to a covered walkout terrace and the play area beyond, all facing the stream and the woods.
The rec room has a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, TV area, and room for a pool table. Two bedrooms and two full baths make it a natural in-law or au pair suite. A gym, a large laundry and utility room, and generous storage round out the level. Between the two floors, total living space runs approximately 4,000 square feet.
Paces Neighborhood
Driving down many streets in the Paces neighborhood, it would be easy to imagine yourself in the hills of North Georgia. The neighborhood has rolling topography, dense forest, and secluded properties. Then, you crest a hill and see the entire Atlanta skyline peeking above the tree line, a reminder that you are a few minutes from just about anywhere in Buckhead, Midtown, or Downtown! This embodies what Buckhead is really about, a wonderful quality of life combined with the conveniences of a modern city at your doorstep … or front gate.
