Historic charm meets modern convenience and quiet luxury in this completely renovated home with detached carriage house on a large private lot in the heart of Buckhead. In 2002, award-winning Michael Ladisic who is “inspired to create spaces that are functional and special” thoughtfully renovated and expanded the original two bedroom one bathroom 1930's brick bungalow creating a stately, open-concept two-story. Building on this vision, within the past two years, a complete renovation by the current homeowner sought to once again breathe new life into this timeless classic. A stone path leads past an idyllic koi pond with electronically controlled waterfall and underwater lighting to a captivating covered front porch framed by gas lanterns. Perfect for welcoming guests and keeping packages dry, this porch also acts as an inviting outdoor living room, complete with ceiling-mounted TV and views over the neighborhood playground. Once inside, the living room offers period appeal in the way of a statement brick fireplace and a spacious dining room seamlessly connects the front living space to the heart of the home- an expansive open-concept kitchen and family room. A large center island draped in Calcutta Gold marble serves as an informal eating space and a natural gathering spot while a 46 Wolf dual-fuel range flanked by casement windows acts as a central focal point amidst a bank of custom cabinetry ladened with white Dolomite. Paneled Sub-Zero refrigerators are featured in both the main kitchen and back pantry which also features a workstation sink, laundry and a tremendous amount of grab-and-go storage. The large family room is crowned by a coffered ceiling and grounded by a gorgeous stone fireplace on one end and a 142 Ultravision screen on the other while double French doors lead to the covered patio. A hammered brass sink, under-cabinet fridge, Ice-o-Matic Pearl ice maker and second Bosch dishwasher turn what would be an ordinary breakfast nook into a cozy coffee/wine bar. A main floor bedroom with large, walk-in closet currently serves as a light-filled office and the main floor bath features a walk-in shower with custom-laid tile paired with a gorgeous cut marble vanity top and imported sink. Upstairs, a large bonus room with a tray ceiling and window seat offers flexibility to the second floor where you will also find the oversized primary suite. The vaulted primary bedroom overlooks the private backyard and is intentionally separated from two spacious walk-in closets and a marble-clad bathroom featuring a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower private water closet and dual vanities. Two secondary bedrooms share a large jack-and-jill bathroom offering copious storage thanks to an immense double vanity as well as two linen closets. A dedicated office/exercise room with built-in shelving and access to the upper porch completes the second floor. Permanent stairs to the vaulted, spray-foamed attic provide easy access to loads of storage and/or future expansion potential. Across the motorcourt, a carriage house offers parking for two cars, under-stair storage, an attached shed, and private access to a large, finished flex space and full bathroom. If you're a golf lover, the backyard delights with a tee box and putting green but at almost 0.4 acres the lot can also easily accommodate a pool and pool house. Ideally situated just blocks from Buckhead’s world-class shopping and dining, five-star hotels and Fortune 500 office space but tucked away beneath a dense green tree canopy, Peachtree Park truly feels like an oasis in the city. Unique amenities like a pocket playground and neighborhood garden along with a multitude of activities planned by an active civic association serve to promote a strong sense of community and belonging. In addition, Peachtree Park has no cut-through access so the streets are often filled with residents who stop to greet one another. Welcome home to 601 E Paces Ferry Road.
