Property Description

This classic Colonial sits handsome on the hill, at the end of a cul-de-sac in North Wellington ? a rare Dunwoody pocket with a single entrance and no cut-through traffic.Step off the porch ? under a portico added by the current owners ? into a black slate foyer. The main level is a light-filled traditional floorplan: formal living and dining rooms, and a half bath flanked by the updated eat-in kitchen and a fireside den. Bay windows in every room pull in soft natural light that washes the walls from morning through afternoon, helped by the home's siting ? no other houses sit at the same grade to block it. Off the den, the current owners added a screened-in porch overlooking the fully fenced backyard ? Georgia's outdoors without the bugs or the scorching sun.Upstairs, five bedrooms include an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and a dual-vanity bath. The secondary bedrooms share a central hall bath, and two of them include walk-in closets of their own. And no Dunwoody home is complete without a basement ? this one is fully finished with a wet bar, full bath, a second fireplace, a sauna, and exterior access.The side-facing garage keeps things private, while the driveway earns its keep ? room to maneuver, park the extra cars, and a pathway out to the large side yard that opens onto the cul-de-sac. And the cul-de-sac is a place to meet neighbors organically and foster a true sense of community ? a refreshing change of pace in a world where most of our connections are born behind a screen.Then there's the location. The single entrance keeps the traffic local while the surrounding neighborhoods absorb the flow from the major thoroughfares ? quiet streets, easy access. 1689 Wellshire Lane feeds into the highly desirable Vanderlyn Elementary district, sits between two major shopping centers, and is walkable to Dunwoody Village with all the essentials and more. North Wellington: perfectly tucked away, but never far from anything.
