About this property
Buckhead Aerie - Forested splendor minutes from downtown
This mid-century modern house, built in 1950, was designed by an architect whose work was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, as can be seen in the walls of windows, large, stone fireplace and efforts he took to ensure the house blends into the woods.
Its two bedroom/bathroom suites are located at separate ends of this 2,500-square-foot house, which sits atop a steep, heavily wooded hill overlooking Memorial Park in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, five miles north of the center of the city.
The third bedroom is tiny; it contains a queen bed and is located in what was originally a lavish dressing room adjacent to the master.
Each of the large bedrooms has a large television and a subscription to YouTube TV.
One of the bedrooms has a king-sized bed; the other two have queen-sized beds. The wifi is 1 gigabit fiber.
The central part of the house includes a sunken living room, which is lined by a wall of windows overlooking the park. It contains a concert grand piano that is kept in tune. The house also includes a sunken dining room, a breakfast nook, an office, a kitchen stocked with high-quality cookware and a laundry room.
Not available for parties without owner's prior permission. Check-in is at 4 p.m.; checkout is at 11 a.m. Prospective guests must have received several positive reviews from prior VRBO hosts to be considered. Minimum 30 days' stay required. Note that a property manager will meet guests upon arrival.

Why they chose this property
Built in 1950, this house is a mid-century modern designed by an acolyte of Frank Lloyd Wright. Clad in cedar shingles and overlooking a park, it is barely visible from the street, as the architect intended.
The views are intended for those who live inside -- the house faces east, so you can see the sun rise through the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the trees, rhododendron and azaleas that dot the property.
The house was designed for maximum light -- the sun pours in through 8 skylights, and the walls of windows at the front and rear of the house mean you can literally see through the house when the curtains are open.
The concert grand piano appears small compared to the size of the living room in which it sits.
Though just 8 minutes from downtown, you are truly in the woods here.
In addition to the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the house has an office with a desk; two of the bedrooms have desks.
A security camera is located outside the house; it does not have a view inside the house.
