One Ivy Walk Vinings GA - One of the Most Interesting and Beautiful Places

One Ivy Walk Vinings GA! - One of the most interesting and beautiful places to live in the Atlanta area is One Ivy Walk Vinings GA, a 7-year-young mixed-use gated community of luxurious European-inspired townhomes. Office, retail and restaurant space round out this community and make it a popular destination to live, work and play. This dynamic community is just far enough outside of Atlanta’s northwest perimeter to avoid Atlanta’s high taxes, and just on the inside fringe of popular and prestigious Vinings. It looks like a bunch of apartments on top of retail space at first glance, but no, no, no, make no mistake - One Ivy Walk Vinings GA is much much different than that.

Distinctively designed architecture featuring a mix of brick and hardiplank exteriors, along with a variety of elevations, colors and textures is solid construction, built by the award winning John Wieland and reminiscent of a vibrant town square or New Orleans French Quarter.

Scene from a Puzzle

 The living quarters at One Ivy Walk Vinings GA are actually multi-level homes that are spacious, loaded and very beautiful. The homes that present the face of the community sit on top of a full smorgasbord of small businesses, including services for accounting, income tax, insurance, education and business consulting, eye care, art instruction, care for women and dental aesthetics. Plus, there is a dance studio, chiropractor, florist, attorney, clothing boutique, cleaners, nail salon, hair salon and fitness studio. You will also find right outside your front door, brands like J.Christophers, Little Azio, Precious Cargo, The Dinner A'Fare and South City Kitchen. 

If you visit one of these businesses in the evenings or on weekends, you’ll get a glimpse of some of the residents who live on top of these store fronts with their doors wide open, hanging out on their balconies and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. It almost reminds you of a scene from a puzzle set in a  European town. 

If you prefer a quieter, more discreet atmosphere, you can choose one of the interior homes nestled completely inside the gates, surrounding the centrally located club house, pool and fitness center. There is even a small pocket dog park which helps keep both the dog lovers and dog haters happy.

Scene from a designer book of Fine Homes

These are houses – attached homes according to the rulebook; okay – townhomes if you insist, but houses nonetheless, with up to 4500 square feet of the finest appointments and innovative features you will ever find in a home. Fun things, like private elevators inside the home are included, along with one or two car garages, high end finishes, spacious, eat-in kitchens with islands, stainless appliances, double ovens, granite countertops and walk-in pantries. And yes, there is a butler’s pantry, keeping room and formal dining space too.

Also inside, you’ll find a fireplace, berber carpet, wrought iron spindles, wainscoting on window seats, solid oak flooring, 3 or 4 bedrooms, 3 or 4+ baths with pedestal sinks or designer bowls, and ridiculously oversized master baths – large enough to be someone’s living room – with his and her changing areas, linen closets and medicine cabinets, plus Jacuzzi tubs and double seated showers. You’ll also find laundry rooms with sinks, built-in shelving, and walk-in closets. How does all of this fit inside a townhouse, you ask?  –  By using 3 or 4 levels with mini basements or media rooms at the terrace level AND finished bonus space on the top levels (which make nice guest quarters or extra bed space). 

With covered entry porches, foyers that hide the rest of the house, wide 4 ½ feet interior steps (6 feet wide steps just inside the foyer), skylights, and huge decks or patios, you begin to feel the quality of these homes as soon as you get out of your car. No corners have been cut and nothing has been left out.

Who wouldn’t want to own a dreamy house (I mean townhouse) at One Ivy Walk Vinings GA? I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying the comfort and beauty offered by the homes in this upscale community. If you can afford this luxury and want the convenience of a lock-and-go lifestyle, this is the place to be.

There are many different floorplans. Most nondistressed homes are currently re-selling at the $400,000-$500,000 price point. There is an HOA fee of $250 per month.
