Brookhaven Homes for Sale

Posted by on Mar 28, 2009 in Atlanta Neighborhoods | 1 comment

If you want to be almost guaranteed of seeing someone walking a Golden or Labrador Retriever, then drive through Brookhaven. Some consider it part of Buckhead some think of it as a separate community. Regardless, it has some architecturally significant and truly elegant Atlanta homes. The historic Capital City Club anchors the neighborhood with its golf course. It’s why the homes in Brookhaven Atlanta are in high demand.

It’s one of those neighborhoods whose boundaries seem to mysteriously grow larger as neighboring communities try to piggyback on its cache. This has caused some people to refer to the original Brookhaven as “Historic Brookhaven” to differentiate it from the newer “Brookhaven”, with an eastern boundary that seems to end somewhere near Stone Mountain.  Brookhaven real estate has always been, and continues to be, very desirable.

Here are the Brookhaven homes for sale in Buckhead, Atlanta that are currently on the market:

Brookhaven is often mentioned in the Atlanta McMansion battle. It originally had a mixture of premium luxury homes and some beautiful cottages with loads of curb appeal. Recently, many of the historic cottages and bungalows have been torn-down and replaced with beautiful, larger homes. The residents of Brookhaven are sharply divided over private property rights versus maintaining the diversity and original character of the neighborhood. Personally, I think it’s incorrect to characterize the newer homes in Brookhaven as McMansions. Most of the new homes are very tasteful and are not the big, cheap houses, filling every square inch of the lot, that seem to define Atlanta McMansions.

Here are some other comments about Brookhaven from Buckhead.net:

On the northern edge of Buckhead, Brookhaven developed as Atlanta’s first country club neighborhood. It begins just north of the intersection of Peachtree Road and Peachtree-Dunwoody Road. Its boundaries generally are Peachtree Road on the east, Peachtree-Dunwoody on the west and south and Windsor Parkway on the north.

Now sometimes referred to as West Brookhaven, it is an enclave of large, elegant Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and English cottage homes in a lush landscape of broad, winding streets, densely wooded hollows and gently rolling hills with the Capital City Country Club as its heart.

In what was once Creek Indian land, the area’s first white settler was Harris Goodwin, a South Carolinian who homesteaded a tract on both sides of what is now Peachtree Road in the early 1830s. Harris Goodwin later brought his father, Solomon, to the area. The Goodwin home and a small graveyard in which they are buried survive at 3931 Peachtree Road near the intersection of Dresden Drive.

The original log cabin on the Echota Indian Trail was expanded in the 1830s and 1840s into the present home. In 1864, it was a landmark for Federal troops closing in on Atlanta during the Civil War. Goodwin descendants still own the property. The home is the oldest extant house in DeKalb County. It is open to the public from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the third Sunday of every month, and a family member is usually there to serve as a guide.

In 1910, 150 acres on the west side of Peachtree was bought by the Mechanical and Manufacturers Club for a golf club to be called Brookhaven. The course, which encircles a large lake and is surrounded by woods, was laid out by course architect Herbert Barker. The original clubhouse was replaced in the 1920s by the present French Provincial structure of mellow stone. Shortly after opening in 1911, the club became part of the downtown Capital City Club and became known as the Capital City Country Club.

In the 1980s, the area was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as the “first planned golf club community in Georgia.”

  1. I think that Historic Brookhaven is the most beautiful part of Atlanta, primarily because it has a consistency that is often lacking in Buckhead (although, of course, there are some incredibly beautiful areas of Buckhead). Very interesting post!
