1671 Friar Tuck Road NE

Midcentury Modern masterpiece custom built in 1965 by renowned Atlanta architect, Ted Levy, for his childhood best friend. Current owners are only the second family to live in this incredible home. They have meticulously restored and rebuilt every inch of the property with great intention to preserve the integrity of the original design while bringing it into the 21st century. Updates reflecting original design intent include new continuous tongue and groove ceilings that transition outside as soffits, restored built-in banquette, and living room stereo console. The original exposed brick was maintained throughout the house, honoring its classic midcentury style. The home was taken down to the studs to install new electrical, new plumbing, new HVAC, new roof, wireless access points, and new white oak floors throughout the house. The new wood ceiling incorporates commercial grade fixtures from Visual Comfort and Design Within Reach. Custom steel windows and custom sliding doors from Western replaced the original wood French doors that allow total integration of interior and exterior along the entire back of the house. Amazing original copper hoods over two fireplaces were meticulously restored and sealed. The beautiful new kitchen has Miele appliances and a Subzero refrigerator. A full house water filtration system provides filtered water from every faucet. The owners installed a new custom outdoor kitchen with a 36” Hestan natural gas grill, wine refrigerator, and a beautiful cantilevered roof. Owners also added the heated pool with sun shelf. The pool deck incorporates brick from the original terrace that was painstakingly salvaged and reinstalled for seamless integration. Bluestone and Ipe finish the patio with custom commercial lighting. Exterior landscape design provided by Floralis Design includes fruit trees, fragrant gardenia bushes, and cherry blossoms. Possibly the best lot in the neighborhood, one of very few flat, walk out backyards on the Ansley Golf Club golf course. It has an automatic sprinkler system and a gorgeous exterior lighting design. The carport has two large spaces for storage of bicycles and a workshop. This property was featured on the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Tour of Homes. It is truly extraordinary: world-class architecture with indoor-outdoor living in the most premier intown neighborhood on a private, golf course lot.
