Built in 1922
Nestled atop a picturesque knoll at #3 Cherokee Road, this enchanting shingle-clad cottage in the heart of Buckhead is a true Atlanta treasure. Designed in 1922 by the esteemed architect Neel Reid, this Southern Greek Revival gem has been a cherished home to only two families for over a century. Soon, it will be ready to welcome its third fortunate owners, offering them a rare opportunity to own a piece of Atlanta's rich architectural history.
The current owners, who acquired the property in 1978, have lovingly preserved its original charm while enlisting the expertise of architect Ward Seymour to thoughtfully expand and modernize the home. The seamless blend of historic elegance and modern comfort is evident throughout the property, making it a unique find in one of Atlanta's most desirable neighborhoods.
As you enter the home, you'll be greeted by an inviting foyer that leads to a spacious living room, perfect for entertaining. With its fireplace, intricate moldings, and French doors opening to a slate patio, this room exudes timeless sophistication. The adjacent library, complete with bookshelves, a built-in desk, and a marble-surround fireplace, offers a cozy retreat for quiet moments.
The formal dining room, adorned with original wainscoting and corner cupboards, is ideal for hosting elegant dinners. A butler's pantry, conveniently connected to the dining room, leads to the bright and airy kitchen opening to a lovely breakfast room.
A marble-floored gallery serves as the transition between the original home and the stunning addition. There is a charming screened-in porch at the far end of the gallery and the great room, with its 12-foot ceilings, arched windows, and exquisite fireplace, is a showstopper. The space flows effortlessly into the primary suite, where you'll find a serene sitting area overlooking the backyard and pool, his-and-hers marble baths, and custom walk-in closets.
Step outside through the great room's French doors to discover a covered breezeway that leads to a brick patio, a one-car garage and guest house. The guest house, complete with a covered deck, bedroom, and full bath, offers privacy and comfort for visitors.
The original home was a one-story with just two bedrooms, all on the main level. The expansion therefore entailed finishing the attic with three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a fireside sitting room. This was all accomplished without altering the facade of the home, thereby further staying true to the "Neel Reid cachet."
The collaboration between Neel Reid and Ward Seymour has resulted in a home that is not only architecturally significant but also exceptionally livable. While the cottage at #3 Cherokee Road retains its historic charm and offers many modern comforts and amenities, it still presents opportunities for updating and renovating to the high standards worthy of such an architecturally significant property.
