Property Description

Situated in Atlanta's beloved Collier Hills neighborhood, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage offers the rare combination of character, finishes, and legacy. Once home to renowned Atlanta landscape architect Dan Franklin, the property's gardens, including screened gazebo, have been thoughtfully reimagined by the current owner in the spirit of Franklin's vision with fresh plantings, defined outdoor living spaces, and a landscape that feels both established and timeless. Inside, the home has been renovated with high-end finishes throughout. The kitchen is anchored by a 36 Ilve Italian gas range and a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, both set against honed Calacatta Vagli marble countertops and backsplash. A hidden appliance garage keeps everyday clutter out of sight without sacrificing style. A Brizo faucet and unlacquered brass cabinetry hardware from Rejuvenation Hardware add warmth and patina that will deepen with time. The dining room comfortably accommodates seating for six. The space is accented by a Visual Comfort chandelier and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the cobblestone patio and gardens. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter and framed by recessed arched bookshelves, lending architectural depth and a sense of timeless craftsmanship. Gallery L7 wall sconces provide soft, ambient light, while custom sheer drapery and hardware soften the space and add a layer of refined texture. The primary bedroom features a cathedral ceiling accented by a Visual Comfort lantern. The en suite bathroom is a showstopper: a custom floating vanity topped with honed Calacatta Paonazzo marble, Brizo plumbing fixtures and hardware, Natalie Page sconces, and Zellige-style subway-tiled shower complete with matching Calacatta Paonazzo bench, curb, and trim, and frameless glass doors. The larger guest bedroom easily accommodates a king bed, while the smaller guest bedroom is currently used as a den. The guest bathroom is also outfitted with designer finishes like Brizo and Kohler plumbing fixtures, Lostine hanging light fixture, while Portola Paint's Roman Clay finish adds warmth and texture. With its 1-car garage, three comfortable bedrooms, and two well-appointed bathrooms, this home strikes the perfect balance of livability and luxury. Just minutes from Tanyard Creek Park, Northside Beltline, Bobby Jones Golf Course, Bitsy Grant Tennis Center, and the shops and restaurants of Howell Mill, Collier Hills offers a walkable, tree-lined lifestyle close to the heart of the city. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Atlanta landscape history that has been thoughtfully reimagined for today's discerning buyer.
