About 453 Carter Ave SE
Nestled in the heart of historic East Lake's Olmsted neighborhood—where Atlanta's sun rises first and Bobby Jones once perfected his legendary swing—this exceptional home represents the perfect marriage of the neighborhood's storied past and its vibrant present. Named after Frederick Law Olmsted, the visionary landscape architect who designed Central Park and many of Atlanta's most cherished green spaces, this community celebrates his legacy with abundant parks and nature preserves. Located in a quiet corner surrounded by a private nature preserve, this home offers an oasis of tranquility just minutes from the energy of downtown Atlanta, cool vibes of Decatur and Midtown. The home sits across from the East Lake Golf Club, host to the final PGA Tour FedEx Cup Championship, where you can witness world-class golf from your own neighborhood. With tall windows and French doors flooding every room with natural light, and mature trees providing natural cooling and privacy, this property exemplifies the serene suburban feel that originally drew Atlanta's elite to East Lake over a century ago. This meticulously appointed home features dramatic finishes throughout, including an updated kitchen with stunning Labradorite countertops extending through the butler's pantry and bar, exquisite European lighting fixtures, and Farrow and Ball paint and wallpaper selections. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with large soaking tub, expansive frameless glass shower, and huge walk-in closet and storage systems. Modern conveniences include top-of-the-line Lennox HVAC systems with dehumidification, two-car garage with 220V electric car charging, built-in wine storage, and smart home features. The outdoor spaces shine with a custom terraced organic garden, full-width covered deck accessible through dual French doors, and welcoming front porch. All this while being zoned for 1st priority admission to award-winning Drew Charter School and walking distance to East Lake's shops, restaurants, and beautiful Lake.
