Established in 1904 and developed throughout the next decade, Ansley Park was conceived as a secluded suburb set against the backdrop of the bustling city of Atlanta. The neighborhood’s founders meticulously planned the community, setting strict guidelines to ensure that the homes harmonized with the natural landscape and conformed to designated architectural styles.
More than a century later, this affluent neighborhood remains highly sought-after, largely due to its dedication to preserving both its architectural heritage and natural beauty. While the neighborhood’s guidelines have evolved, their fundamental principles persist, ensuring that all new construction and renovations adhere to the area’s distinctive character.
Nestled within the Ansley Park neighborhood, the newly listed 205 Peachtree Circle NE embodies the historical roots and architectural tradition of the area. Constructed in 1900, this classic home predates the official establishment of the neighborhood itself, making it one of the area’s oldest, original structures. This seven-bedroom home sits on 1.17 acres, making it one of the largest residential properties in the neighborhood. It beautifully combines modern amenities with contemporary comforts while preserving its historical integrity.
On the inside, the home features original top-nailed oak hardwood floors with an inlaid border that spans the sizeable living spaces. High ceilings and elegant fireplaces contribute to the grand atmosphere, with generous living and dining spaces ideal for hosting guests in true Southern style.
Beyond the traditional living spaces, the home boasts a chef’s kitchen that seamlessly blends state-of-the-art appliances with classic design elements. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the backyard, which features a luxurious pool, koi pond, and expansive lawn space, all surrounded by detailed landscaping.
Upstairs comes complete with four spacious bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite with a fireplace and a generously sized dual bathroom. On the fourth floor, you’ll find an additional living space with a kitchenette, two bedrooms, and another full bathroom – perfect for accommodating guests or extended family.
The terrace level further elevates the home’s appeal, featuring a pool table area, another kitchenette, a workout room, full bath, and theater room, ensuring that there is no shortage of spaces for leisure and entertainment.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable features of this Ansley Park gem is the charming two-story guest house located at the rear of the property. Complete with a full bed and bath, kitchenette, living area, and a half bath, this addition offers a private space for visitors or a potential income-generating opportunity.
As Ansley Park continues to evolve and grow, the preservation of historical homes like this one becomes increasingly important. These homes are crucial to the cultural fabric of their communities and serve as reminders of the rich history that has shaped the city we know today.
