The Enclave on Peachtree is one of Buckhead's most distinctive residential communities: seventeen French Provincial townhomes arranged around a private motor court, hidden almost entirely from Peachtree Road. Inside the gates, a historic stone fountain, mature landscaping and wooded trails along Peachtree Creek create a remarkable sense of separation from the city beyond. The architecture is equally distinctive. European in character and built with brick, stucco, slate and substantial traditional detailing, The Enclave has a permanence and charm that are increasingly difficult to find in newer construction. It does not feel like a collection of interchangeable townhomes, but like a place conceived as a whole. Unit 16 continues that sense of quality inside. The scale, materials, ceiling heights, millwork, stone and marble finishes, fireplaces and private elevator give the home the feeling of a substantial custom residence rather than a conventional attached home. The rooms are generous and defined, allowing the house to feel elegant without becoming overly formal. Perhaps most importantly, The Enclave offers a combination that is unusually hard to replicate in Buckhead: privacy, architectural character and the scale of a significant residence, without taking on the maintenance and responsibility of a large estate. For someone drawn to beautiful surroundings, exceptional construction and a central location that somehow does not feel central at all, The Enclave occupies a category largely its own.
