707 Darlington Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

Description

An exceptional convergence of architectural pedigree and garden artistry, 707 Darlington Road reimagines a circa-1940s Peachtree Park residence through an extensive, multi-phase renovation by builder Michael Ladisic in collaboration with architect Linda MacArthur, complemented by interiors by Sherry Hart and design by Interior Concepts. Elevated above a quiet street, the home welcomes with a signature weeping white mulberry and a gracious Craftsman-inspired verandah, where natural stone, tapered columns and a stained wood ceiling establish its enduring character. Inside, site-finished solid oak floors, dramatic coffered ceilings and intricate custom millwork lend substance to beautifully composed rooms. A fireside formal living room, verandah-connected library and gracious dining room offer distinct settings for gathering. Phillip Jeffries grasscloth enriches the expansive family room, while a separate fireside sitting room showcases Ladisic's signature millwork and bookcases, with bi-fold French doors connecting the breakfast and family rooms and direct access to the rear lanai. The custom kitchen pairs handmade cabinetry with black Nero marble countertops, a full-height bookmatched backsplash and marble-cased windows. A furniture-inspired island incorporates a dining extension, while a six-burner Wolf range with griddle and dual ovens, paneled Sub-Zero refrigeration, wine refrigeration and a generous walk-in pantry support effortless entertaining. An adjoining wet bar adds an ice maker and beverage refrigerator. A mahogany-paneled vestibule introduces the main-level owner's retreat, where a hand-carved limestone fireplace and paired oval windows create an intimate focal point. French doors open to a garden sitting area. The dressing room features illuminated cabinetry and a substantial stone-topped island; the marble bath offers a rain shower with body sprays, a sunken Japanese soaking tub, two private water closets and dedicated laundry. Beyond, a vaulted screened lanai with a full-height stone fireplace overlooks English-inspired gardens by E. Graham Pittman & Associates, featured in Atlanta Magazine. Boxwood borders frame a central turf lawn, while layered plantings, raised garden beds, gravel paths and a fountain terrace unfold as a series of secluded outdoor rooms. Set in the heart of Buckhead, Peachtree Park pairs established neighborhood character with convenient access to celebrated dining, shopping at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, and MARTA. Here, the energy of the city gives way to a home of uncommon craftsmanship and a garden world of its own.
