ATLANTA, GA 30308
The current steward of 717 HOUSE, only the second owner since the home was built in 1912, recognized a rare opportunity to restore to life one of the grand homes along Atlanta’s iconic Piedmont Avenue. The original owners were the Bleckley’s of Bleckley County, Georgia, whose family included a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, as well as one of the city’s foremost architects, famous for designing the viaducts throughout Atlanta, thus creating Underground Atlanta, a unique shopping and entertainment district. Original documentation of the family history, including photographs and artwork, can be found throughout 717 HOUSE. Today, the home reflects the original charm and character of the past, with all the comforts of the present creating a welcoming and relaxing retreat in the heart of the city. Once you enter the gated gardens, you are immediately drawn to the handsome Prairie-style architecture. Meticulously restored with attention to detail and quality finishes, the main house boasts multiple seating areas with a grand entrance Salon and gracious Living Room with fireplace. Enjoy entertaining family and friends in the fireside Banquet-sized Dining Room. An exposed brick wall in the Butler’s Pantry adds style to the wet bar area. A chef’s gourmet Kitchen is the heart of the home with custom Thomasville cabinetry and expansive quartz island ideal for casual dining. Top-of- theline appliances include Sub-Zero, Thermador and Bosch. You will love the light filled Breakfast Room overlooking the formal rear gardens. Relax in the handsome Library with French doors opening to a fabulous wrap-around deck. The grand staircase leads upstairs to the beautiful Owner’s Suite with fireplace, sitting area and sleek Bath. The flexible plan features two additional upstairs Bedrooms with en suite baths and a private sitting room. The expansive deck and rear terraced gardens with brick sidewalks lead to the Carriage House and three car Garage. 717 HOUSE provides a unique opportunity with possibilities for an owner occupied property where extended family can be in residence, or multiple income producing options with the Carriage House and two Guest Suites with private entrances, each with a Living Area, Kitchen, Bedroom, and Bath. Designed for entertaining, the home has been a setting for Atlanta’s film production industry. Nestled in the shadow of Atlanta’s Midtown skyline, 717 HOUSE is just a short stroll to Piedmont Park, The Botanical Gardens, The Fabulous Fox Theatre, and fine dining.
