Description

Welcome to the Secret Garden! Hidden in the heart of Ardmore Park, this home is the epitome of private. Most neighbors do not even know it is there. With half an acre, this was originally the carriage house for the Nunnally Estate. The care taker developed the design for these gardens, which remains today. Everything was planted according to a seasonal plan. The flowers and trees bloom in rotation to maximize the color and foliage all year long. Walking from the front yard or down the private, gated drive in the back, you are greeted with beauty. Bask in the quiet courtyard of the garden in the back or lounge on the deck off the kitchen with an inviting Atlanta skyline over the front yard, you have it all with sights and sounds of nature and city views. The unique, glass French doors are your entrance into this historical home. The foyer opens into the dining room with vaulted ceiling. This leads directly into the kitchen with luxury appliances and an island perfect for intimate gatherings. The deck right off the kitchen extends your entertaining space and features the city over the horizon while bringing the outdoors in. The guest bedroom and bathroom are located off the kitchen with a bay window to view the gardens. Downstairs the formal living room boasts a large bay window overlooking the expanse of the courtyard and garden. The high ceilings in this room are filled with natural sunlight cascading in from the windows. Another entry on the side provides a sunroom, which could be used as an office with its extensive bookcases. The primary bedroom and an additional bedroom are located on this level with a full bath. There is another sunroom for views of the front yard between the library and primary bedroom. The library offers a second wood burning fireplace for this home and another room to escape the busy city life. Outside, the owner has added an atelier for her office. Surrounded by windows, this room is very flexible for your needs. This Secret Garden is a private oasis connected with the heart of Atlanta.
