Renovated and expanded with care by former resident Norman Askins, with a three-story addition that blends seamlessly with the original structure, this "gem of Garden Hills" combines classic and contemporary in one flawless package. Cloaked in peaceful seclusion by an enchanting woodland setting with lush landscaping, a babbling creek, charming stone paths and moss-covered rock outcroppings, yet close to neighborhood amenities and alluring shops and restaurants. The current owner, a designer, has meticulously curated the refined aesthetic, adding updates and modern conveniences without forsaking any of the original charm and character. Preceded by a half-timber facade, copper canopy and a storybook front door, the interior boasts a vintage English cottage style with nods to the 1930s. Each part settles effortlessly into place as sunlight spills through steel casement windows onto hardwood floors and underscores thoughtful design elements throughout. A stunning formal fireside living room featuring a beamed, vaulted ceiling opens to an adjacent sunroom with wide backyard views and built-ins-perfect for remote work. The kitchen features premium-grade stainless steel appliances (including a Wolf gas range), a cornice-topped stone backsplash and bespoke cabinets with a furniture-inspired design. A convenient pass-through connects to the family room and butler's pantry, while the accessible side brick patio-reminiscent of lazy Sundays punctuated by cocktails-expands the living space outdoors. Dine al fresco on the charming deck just off the family room, where hand-hewn pine beams complement rough stucco plaster walls and a wood-burning fireplace invites guests to curl up with a book on rainy days. Upstairs, the owner's suite fulfills every fantasy, with its beamed ceiling and exquisite French fireplace (with a mantel surround embellished with fleur-de-lis detailing), walk-in closet, dressing room and en suite complete with a seamless glass shower. Three secondary bedrooms-one upstairs, one on the main level, and one on the lower level (currently used as an office) offer plenty of space for residents and guests. There is also an attached garage for vehicles and storage. Known as an urban forest neighborhood in the heart of Buckhead, Garden Hills features a mix of quaint cottages and newer construction along tree-lined streets. Welcome to 382 Brentwood Drive.
