Embrace the Outdoors: An Inside Look at Atlanta’s Hidden Garden Home

The blending of indoor and outdoor spaces is more than just a design trend; it’s a lifestyle choice that emphasizes the seamless transition between the comfort of home and the tranquility of nature. Today’s homeowners seek environments that are both spacious and cozy, where natural materials, earthy colors, and open designs with big windows play a key role.

This design philosophy not only elevates the look and feel of homes but also supports a lifestyle that values relaxation and a deep connection to the natural world. Imagine gardens and courtyards not just as pretty views, but as extensions of the living room or kitchen, places where you can unwind or host friends, all without leaving the city.

Tucked away in Atlanta’s Ardmore Park neighborhood, this newly listed three-bedroom home is so discreet that it’s become one of the area’s best-kept secrets.

Originally a carriage house for the Nunnally Estate, this hidden gem is now its own property with lush and meticulously landscaped grounds. The gardens were thoughtfully designed according to a seasonal plan, with a carefully curated collection of flowers and trees that intentionally bloom in rotation, ensuring vibrant colors and greenery all year long.

It’s not just the gardens that’ll catch your eye; the Atlanta skyline serves as the backdrop in the distance, visible from the cozy garden nook and the deck off the kitchen. The welcoming glass French doors open to interiors that blend old-world charm with modern updates. The dining area features a vaulted ceiling and flows into a kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, centering around an island that’s perfect for small gatherings, further inviting the outside in.

On the lower level, the formal living room features a grand bay window overlooking the sunlit courtyard garden. A side entrance sunroom, surrounded by built-in bookcases, could serve as a home office. The primary suite and an additional bedroom on this level share a full bathroom, plus an additional sunroom that offers front yard views. The library, with its second wood burning fireplace, provides a cozy retreat from the bustling city.

Adding to the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience is the atelier, a recent addition by the owners. Bathed in natural light from surrounding windows, this flexible space can function as an office, art studio, or multipurpose area.
