Overlooking the treetops of Winn Park, this timeless Ansley Park home offers elevated living in one of Atlanta's most treasured neighborhoods. Set high above the street with sweeping park views and unmatched privacy, this home was made for graceful living and effortless entertaining. With cedar shake siding, manicured gardens, and a slate patio tucked beneath magnolias and Japanese maples, the setting feels like a quiet retreat-just moments from the heart of the city. Double staircases frame a grand front entry, leading to a generous foyer. Four Juliet balconies on the main level swing open to invite in soft breezes and the lively rhythm of the park below-offering a front-row seat to the seasons, the sunlight, and the hum of Ansley life. Off the foyer, the formal living room doubles as a warm library space, with a working gas fireplace, rich architectural detail, and a discreet pocket bar for evenings that call for something special. On the other side, the formal dining room is just as refined-with natural light pouring in from two more balconies, creating the perfect backdrop for celebrations large or small. In the heart of the home, a thoughtfully designed galley kitchen features marble countertops, a basket-weave backsplash, custom cabinetry, and integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the space. A central wooden island invites guests to gather, setting the stage for connection and conversation. Just beyond, a charming breakfast nook opens directly to the back patio, ideal for quiet coffee moments or breezy brunches with the doors wide open. And then there's the sunroom - a space that truly shines, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and three walls of windows that flood the room with natural light. It's the kind of calm and clarity that mornings (and afternoons, and golden hours) deserve. The family room is designed to be lived in, with beamed tongue and groove wood paneled ceilings, a working fireplace, and French doors that open onto the slate patio-where the sound of the nearby fountain and the shade of mature oaks set the tone for alfresco dinners and weekend lounging. The main-level primary suite is tucked into its own private alcove, with space for a sitting room, home office, or dressing retreat. French doors lead to the patio, while oversized windows bring the garden views in. Custom yours and yours closets offer function with style, and the en suite bath has been beautifully updated with dual marble vanities, a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, guests are greeted by a large open landing that connects three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, offering a rare level of comfort and privacy for family and friends alike. One of the guest rooms features a custom Murphy bed, making it effortlessly multifunctional - perfect as a home office, creative space, or a welcoming retreat when visitors arrive. Outside, steel doors lead to a picture-perfect patio framed by lush landscaping, a pea gravel courtyard, and a turfed lawn for play or pets. Elegant yet easy, curated yet warm-this is a home that invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the beauty of your surroundings. In addition to the home's elegance and impeccable setting, you're just steps from the best of Atlanta. Stroll to the High Museum for an afternoon exhibit, catch a show at the Woodruff Arts Center, or spend your mornings in bloom at the Botanical Gardens and Piedmont Park. With historic character, quiet streets, and a front-row seat to the city's cultural core, this is where elegance and everyday life meet-with grace, greenery, and a little bit of magic.
