3990 E Brookhaven Drive NE

Set on one of the most beautiful 1.48-acre lots in Historic Brookhaven overlooking the Capital City Golf Course, this beloved cottage is a rare and extraordinary offering in one of Atlanta’s most prestigious locations. Originally built in 1929, the home has been lovingly maintained, thoughtfully expanded, and extensively renovated over the years while preserving its timeless character and architectural charm. Constructed of all brick with a slate roof, the home blends classic elegance with comfortable everyday living. A welcoming living room opens seamlessly to both the dining room and beautiful kitchen, creating warm and inviting gathering spaces throughout the main level. Renovated in 2005 the kitchen was designed for both function and entertaining with a large island with two sinks, two dishwashers, double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with scullery/butler’s pantry complete with additional sink and pantry storage and perfect for a coffee bar. The kitchen flows naturally into a sun-filled conservatory breakfast room where walls of windows frame breathtaking views of the gardens and grounds. A fireside family room and gracious covered veranda extend the living spaces outdoors, while expansive windows throughout the home bring the surrounding landscape inside from nearly every room. The main level also features two secondary bedrooms and a richly paneled study. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true private retreat with his-and-her closets, a bath with double vanities, laundry room, and a cozy sun-filled sitting room opening to a private patio with electronically controlled shades. An additional guest bedroom and bath complete the upper level. Permanent stairs to the large attic provide easy access to abundant storage space and future expansion possibilities. Elevator access from the lower level to the upper living level provides convenience and ease of living. The terrace level offers more storage, secondary laundry connections, an additional bedroom, and full bath, along with access to the two-car garage and mudroom designed to support daily living. The outdoor spaces are simply exceptional. The covered veranda overlooks a series of beautifully designed gardens and entertaining areas including a brick patio off the kitchen and dining room, a flower meadow, a serene pond garden with elevated millstone feature, and a woodland garden connected by a replica of the famed Labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral. The pool area features all new equipment and a charming pool house with vaulted ceilings, full bath, and kitchenette, the perfect guest suite. Additional features include extensive landscape lighting and well water servicing the irrigation system. Properties of this caliber and setting rarely become available. Rich in history, character, and beauty, this is truly one of Historic Brookhaven’s most special homes.
