Architecture Wednesday: Ansley Park Traditional

Well, this is an interesting house; a new build in the heart of Intown's most desirable neighborhood, Ansley Park. The home is a testament to the finest in transitional architecture, where modern elegance seamlessly blends with timeless sophistication.

Inside, the modernity of a flowing open-concept floor plan greets you, with a main hallway. On one side, the dining room showcases curved walls and floor-to-ceiling custom iron doors. Opposite the dining room is a gracious main-level guest suite, perfect for a private home office.

As you continue your journey, a central fireplace is enveloped in Venetian plaster, positioned as the focal point of the expansive rear living space, with casual dining area and a designer kitchen with a large center island with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a large walk-in pantry. The open-concept family room and breakfast room are flanked with a wall of accordion doors, allowing seamless connectivity to the backyard with its meticulous professional landscaping, swimming pool, and low-maintenance turfed lawn.

A central, spectacular, floating stairwell featuring a dramatic wall of windows floods the home with natural light and leads to the primary suite with its spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, and a marble-clad walk-in shower. Two additional upstairs en-suite bedrooms and a centrally located laundry room complete the second level.

Downstairs, the basement level features modern polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings, and amenities like a fitness studio, an additional guest suite, and an oversized entertainment room, perfect for a future theatre and game room. Outside is a two-car garage and carriage house, where a discreet sixth bedroom with an en-suite bath and kitchenette boasts a private entrance, catering to the needs of an au pair or long-term guests.

All in all, there are six bedrooms, six-and-one-half bathrooms spread across 6,239 square feet, and while I do love the clean lines, the home needs some warmth and some color—the exterior, kitchen and dining room are a good start—and some cats to make it completely livable … and I need $4.5 million.
