Nestled in the heart of Atlanta's historic Grant Park, The Shealor House tells a story that spans over a century. It was born during the crisp days of fall in 1900, crafted by the hands of Edgar Beauland Shealor and his wife, Willie H. Grogan Shealor. This unassuming abode stood proudly on the prominent corner of Berne Street and Boulevard, a time when Atlanta was undergoing a transformative period.

Originally known as 399 Boulevard, the home was witness to the city's evolution, symbolized by the change in its address to 627 Boulevard. The transformation of Atlanta was mirrored in this modest home, quietly bearing witness to history.

Imagine the Shealor family, with Edgar, a dedicated conductor on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, moving in with their 4-year-old daughter, Sue, in 1901. In this house, they wove dreams, lived life to its fullest, and created cherished memories. Edgar and Willie, having spent their entire lives in Atlanta, found their final resting place in the serene grounds of Oakland Cemetery.

Today, The Shealor House stands as an opulent sanctuary, where the charm of yesteryear mingles seamlessly with the luxuries of the present. It's a living testament to unmatched luxury and craftsmanship, a dwelling worthy of gracing the pages of magazines.

As you step through the teak gates into the front courtyard adorned with reclaimed Calhoun bricks, you're transported to a world of grandeur. New Orleans artisan gas lanterns cast a warm glow, Brazilian ipe porch floors beckon with their rich hues, and unique banisters guide you into a space where every detail speaks of history and artistry.

Passing through the meticulously restored original front door, a reception hall with 12-foot ceilings awaits, graced by Windy O'Connor wallpaper. An enchanting majolica-tiled gas fireplace bathed in original pink captivates, and 9th-century Tibetan wood double doors beckon with their tales of time.

The front parlor exudes opulence, where sumptuous black walls meet intricate tin ceilings, and bespoke wood built-in storage reveals stories of the past. The spacious living and dining areas, framed by twin teak and camel bone columns, are an extraordinary space, equally suitable for lavish events or intimate gatherings. The dining table itself is a functional work of art, expertly crafted from the original attic wood.

The chef's dream kitchen boasts a custom double hutch from The Netherlands, a remarkable German steel and glass upper cabinet, and top-of-the-line Monogram appliances. A sliding glass wall reveals a brick-walled courtyard complete with a fireplace and an outdoor bar. From the kitchen windows, you can enjoy the view of Grant Park beyond the hedges.

The owner's suite is a genuine five-star retreat, featuring custom-built solid oak closets adorned with original French Persian chandeliers. An awe-inspiring boutique full-room closet offers ample storage, and an en-suite spa bathroom adds the final touch of luxury.

Ascending the staircase, you'll encounter a suite comprising three beautiful bedrooms, a versatile loft space, and a well-appointed shared hall bathroom. The spacious dry attic storage area holds the secrets of the past.

On the lower level, you're transported to your private speakeasy-style family room, where brick walls and industrial ducting add character. A substantial reclaimed wooden bar complete with a top-loading dishwasher stands ready for entertainment. A workshop, a bathroom, and extra storage space complete this lower level retreat.

Modern amenities, such as hard-wired whole-home electronic window shades and five remote-operated gas fireplaces, seamlessly blend the past with the present. The driveway offers parking for five vehicles, perfect for your visits to the nearby park or Zoo Atlanta.
