About 1043 Metropolitan Parkway Sw
Step into the timeless elegance of The 1043, a landmark residence in storied Adair Park, where Atlanta history and modern sophistication meet in grand fashion. Painstakingly restored by its devoted owners, this exceptional home is a masterclass in preservation and refinement—earning the coveted Atlanta Urban Design Commission’s Award of Excellence for Historic Rehabilitation (the same honor bestowed upon Ponce City Market the year prior).
No record exists of the home’s construction, either because at the time no such records were being kept, or the records were destroyed in Sherman’s fire. Based on the grand Italianate encasements, and extensive research by a certified historian, The 1043 is believed to have been built in the 1860s. Its past may be elusive, but its presence is undeniable.
From the moment you step inside, prepare to be awestruck. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating original hardwood floors and intricate millwork. A parlor worthy of Gatsby welcomes guests with a dramatic decorative fireplace and curated finishes. The formal dining room, framed by original pocket doors, comfortably seats 12+ and dazzles with hand-painted walls and show-stopping chandelier.
The heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen—thoughtfully designed with a generous island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas range, and generous storage. The main level is rounded out by a cozy den and stylish bath. And for those who dream big; yes, there’s a library, yes, there's a speakeasy and, yes, it’s all as amazing as it sounds.
Ascend the grand staircase to the upper sweeping hallway, where soaring ceilings are flanked by twin porches that offer peaceful outdoor retreats. The second level boasts three luxurious bedroom suites, each with its own full bathroom, plus two additional bedrooms that share a beautifully appointed hall bath.
Outdoors, the level of intention and detail is equally impressive. The expanded rear patio is a private sanctuary. Outdoor dining at its finest; a dining table that seats 20 below Ecuadorian teak light fixtures that once hung in the grand atrium of the Waverly Hotel. An electronic gate provides secure access to the backyard and parking for three cars, while preserving the home’s stately curb appeal.
This home was previously a B&B and small wedding venue as well as appearing in numerous print ads and movie and TV productions on HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Hallmark Channel and more, offering you not only a home but a business opportunity as well.
Simply put, The 1043 is unlike anything else in Atlanta—past or present. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, masterfully updated for modern living.
