Property Description

Welcome home to 431 Leonardo, a modern residence on one of the most desirable streets in Lake Claire. This 3-bed, 3-bath home with a dedicated office was built in 1982 and fully reimagined and renovated in 2022 by Falcon Design Build. Every space and system was redesigned to bring calm, beauty, and efficiency to modern family life. From the water line to the roof, nearly every aspect is less than 5 years old. The layout anticipates the needs of a busy day: A custom entryway provides a landing zone for shoes, jackets, and gear, while introducing a warm aesthetic carried through the home. The kitchen integrates high-end finishes and appliances with functional planning. At its core: a 36" Wolf gas range alongside a 36" Sub-Zero fridge. The challenge of healthy and delicious eating is eased by a Miele combi-steam oven that can quickly steam vegetables for dinner as easily as it sous-vides overnight. The Miele dishwasher includes the PowerDisk feature that holds a week of detergent at a time. The kitchen's function is met by its beauty. Soapstone counters offset custom wood paneling reclaimed from the original home connect the renovation to its roots. The layout is designed for maximum efficiency, with a large island providing multiple work-spaces a single step from the sink, range, and refrigerator. Storage abounds, including deep, wide drawers and a custom-designed pantry for bulk goods. A first floor office & full bath can easily support work from home while keeping dinner simmering and laundry running. The high ceiling open-concept living and dining rooms transition seamlessly to the outdoors through large south-facing windows and a three-panel sliding door that opens the house to a patio and covered porch for true indoor-outdoor living. White oak wrapped beams draw you into the space and connects the drop zone to the site-built custom staircase, the focal point of the home. The primary bedroom and bath carry the clean aesthetic from the kitchen through a custom mirror and vanity. The other two bedrooms have multiple windows collecting sunlight and breezes. All bedrooms feature adaptable Elfa closet systems. For future growth, the walls of the primary bedroom are pre-framed for a door that exits onto the front porch roof to provide a private second-story balcony escape. The renovation brought this home to the forefront of 21st century technology and efficiency. The home was originally built with 2x6 exterior walls and fully reinsulated during the renovation, providing 30% energy savings over typical 2x4 construction. Six smart-enabled Velux skylights provide passive ventilation to draw Atlanta's summer heat up and out of the house rather than spending money to cool it. The entirely new HVAC system uses two Mitsubishi variable speed heat pumps to heat and cool each bedroom to your preferences. Paired with Sensibo HVAC controllers, you can schedule each room, cool only the office while you work, or dehumidify the primary suite after a shower. These efficiency touches are backed by Z-wave switches and dimmers that create a smart home ecosystem that is never reliant on a subscription, cloud service, or internet connection. Outside your door is a rare opportunity to join a tight-knit community where neighbors become friends. A 10 minute walk puts you in two parks with great playgrounds (Lake Claire and Candler Park), a public pool, an old growth forest (Frazer Center), and Downtown Candler Park's nationally recognized restaurants and a local market. Oakhurst, Decatur, and Little 5 Points are a safe e-bike ride down PATH. Best of all, one of Atlanta's leading elementary schools, Mary Lin (with pre-K) is 1 mile. Your new street hosts cherished traditions from parades, to a chili cook-offs, and a yearly holiday potluck and lighting showcase. If you've read this far, you probably know this is your new home. Thoughtfully renovated in one of the best neighborhoods and most endearing streets in Atlanta; come see it before it's too late.
