Fantastic price adjustment for this historical property near Piedmont Hospital! The main residence is decieving from the outside! This rare and highly coveted Brookwood Hills estate seamlessly blends modern luxury, exceptional outdoor living, and a remarkable piece of Atlanta history with an 1870's log cabin! Located just moments from Piedmont Hospital and the heart of Midtown & Buckhead this extraordinary property offers the privacy and serenity of a secluded retreat without sacrificing urban convenience. This home is thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. A chef-inspired kitchen serves as the heart of the home, opening effortlessly to an expansive great room highlighted by a raised paneled wood ceiling, stone fireplace, informal dining area, and abundant natural light. From this inviting gathering space, step onto the wraparound deck overlooking the property's lush grounds and the 1870's log cabin. The main level also features a spacious primary suite with a spa bathroom, huge walk-in closet with space for a washer/dryer, an additional ensuite bedroom, formal dining room for 12+, living room, and sunroom. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a versatile loft area ideal for a reading nook, study space, play area, or secondary lounge in addition to an upstairs laundry closet. The finished terrace level offers exceptional flexibility with a dedicated media room, a private office/6th bedroom, a full bath, and access to a screened porch featuring a dry-below underdeck system for year-round enjoyment. Few properties within this community have been renovated from the studs with new plumbing, electrical and high speed internet! All the hard work has already been done.. Outside, the grounds create a truly magical setting. Stone pathways wind through mature landscaping to a tranquil koi pond and waterfall, creating a private garden retreat rarely found in the city. The scenic views can be enjoyed from the expansive main-level deck, the screened terrace porch, or the property's most extraordinary feature—a meticulously preserved historic log cabin with additional 999SF. Originally built in the 1870s and relocated to the property in the 1940s, the cabin is a remarkable blend of historic authenticity and modern functionality. The lower level preserves its original character with historic log walls, authentic chinking, original flooring, and a rustic stone fireplace that transports visitors to another era. With electricity, running water, and modern conveniences, the cabin offers endless possibilities. The cabin's upper level has been transformed into a bright, inspiring creative space with soaring ceilings and skylights. Ideal as an artist's studio, executive office, private retreat, or professional music studio, this one-of-a-kind space provides a unique environment for creativity and productivity, surrounded by the property's peaceful beauty. Properties offering this combination of luxury and privacy with historic significance, and unmatched location near the Piedmont Hospital district rarely become available. This is more than a home—it is a legacy property and a unique opportunity to own one of Brookwood Hills' most distinctive estates. Make sure you see the video!
