2 Orleans Place, Brookhaven

Welcome to one of Brookhaven's best values: a spacious 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home tucked within an exclusive, peaceful gated enclave of just three residences on a private street, yet also part of a larger separate HOA (next street over) that fosters lively social traditions like an annual Halloween party, milestone birthday celebrations, an egg hunt, friendly potlucks, and more. Its location is truly unmatched-neighbors with Marist School and top-rated publics including sought-after Montgomery Elementary, while several delightful parks (Murphey Candler, Blackburn, and Keswick) are within walking distance, offering a serene lake for fishing, wooded hiking trails, a public pool, playgrounds, baseball fields, a modern tennis center with lighted hard courts, multi-use fields, basketball courts, a community center, and a bustling weekend green space where neighbors gather as children play. You're moments from the Perimeter Center business hub, Town Brookhaven, downtown Chamblee, MARTA, premier medical facilities, a thriving culinary scene (including Buford Highway's incredible variety), cozy coffee houses, the weekly Brookhaven Farmers Market, artisanal ice cream, fine dining, vibrant shopping, and entertainment, plus a short hop to Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Buckhead with quick connections to I-285, GA-400, and Peachtree Road-linking directly to employment-rich Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown Atlanta. Offering an ideal blend of location, space, and privacy, this beautifully maintained, timeless hard-coat stucco home (built in 1995) features a grand two-story foyer, gleaming hardwood floors, refined architectural details, premium finishes, lofty ceilings, and abundant natural light. On the main level, flowing design and thoughtful function unite across multiple living spaces accented by tall baseboards and elegant crown molding; sunlight pours through plentiful windows, while soaring two-story and high ceilings add drama. The main level includes a welcoming foyer boasting two-story soaring ceilings and a striking natural stone medallion inlaid into hardwood; an arched entry framed by two stately faux-painted columns leads to the formal dining room, where trim and crown molding graces every sophisticated dinner or festive holiday gathering. Beyond, find the airy, sun-filled living room featuring a dramatic two-story space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a dual gas fireplace-finished in marble and a detailed custom-made mantel and bespoke built-ins on one flank. Step just beyond the living room, and you'll discover a breakfast area/keeping room that shares the same stunning dual fireplace-but with its own character. On this side, the fireplace is wrapped in warm, inviting tile and crowned with a beautifully detailed tailored mantel, turning ordinary mornings into something special, while evenings by the fire feel equally magical. The space also features faux-painted Italianate walls, custom-made bookcases and cabinets, offering both charm and clever storage. The white, well-appointed eat-in kitchen flows openly from there, with faux-painted Italianate walls carrying through, generous white cabinetry, solid countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a roomy island surrounded by ample counters and a classic tile backsplash. Seamlessly tied to the kitchen, the bright sunroom offers an expansive vaulted ceiling, continuing Italianate walls, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides with tranquil views, and custom see-through shelves perfect for cookbooks or treasured keepsakes.
