Located on Wellesley Drive in Buckhead’s Memorial Park neighborhood, this five-bedroom, five-bath residence pairs a 2022 renovation by architect Norris Broyles with a half-acre setting and a location within walking distance of some of Atlanta’s most sought-after amenities.
The transformation reshaped the main level around the kitchen and family room, adding a Wolf gas range, oversized island, breakfast room, large walk-in butler’s pantry, and a private office enclosed by French doors. A compact secondary office tucked off the family room provides another dedicated work area without taking over the home’s primary living spaces.
The main level also includes a formal living room with decorative fireplace, dining room, two bedrooms with two full baths, a full-sized laundry room, mudroom, and extensive storage. Hardwood floors run throughout the level, while an attached two-car garage connects directly through the mudroom. A third parking space beyond the garage adds further convenience.
Upstairs, the owner’s suite opens through French doors to a private deck overlooking the backyard. The recently customized walk-in closet connects directly to the spacious bath, while two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the level
Above the garage, a large flex room with hardwood floors and a full bath provides one of the home’s most adaptable areas. Currently used as an entertainment room, it could accommodate a sixth bedroom, guest quarters, home office, media room, or other use.
The half-acre grounds are designed for both recreation and gathering, with two stone patios, newly installed backyard turf, mature landscaping, a basketball goal, new driveway, and ample additional parking.
Location is a defining part of the property. Morris Brandon Elementary, Memorial Park, the Atlanta BeltLine, and Bobby Jones Golf Course are all within walking distance, while Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown remain easily accessible. The neighborhood itself has a strong sense of community, with regular events organized by the neighborhood association and Memorial Park Conservancy, along with Wellesley Drive’s long-running supper club, a tradition that has brought neighbors together for more than three decades.
With an architect-led renovation, flexible accommodations, generous outdoor grounds, and one of Buckhead’s most established neighborhood settings, 860 Wellesley Drive offers a particularly well-rounded opportunity in Memorial Park.
