About 1791 Breckenridge Drive Ne
A Rare Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece - Step into living art at 1791 Breckenridge Drive, where architecture and nature move in perfect rhythm. Originally crafted in 1964, this residence bears the unmistakable imprint of Robert Green, the last apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and Atlanta’s own visionary of mid-century modern design. True to Green’s organic philosophy, the home breathes with its surroundings through natural stone, horizontal lines, and walls of glass. At its heart lies a dramatic central atrium, a Green signature, where a soaring glass ceiling pours light into the interiors, casting shifting geometric shadows that change with the day. Framed by natural stone and brick, this striking centerpiece dissolves the boundaries between indoors and out, echoing Wright’s enduring influence. While its bones remain authentically mid-century, the home has been reimagined by acclaimed designer Wesley Williams, whose renovations honor Green’s intent while layering in modern luxury. Williams’ work elevates each space with thoughtful finishes, striking the perfect balance of preservation and reinvention, making the home as livable as it is collectible. With three bedrooms, two baths, and more than 2,200 square feet on a lush .60-acre lot, the residence offers serenity just minutes from the city. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and accented with Green’s signature perforated panels, ornamental details that serve as both window coverings and sculptural design elements. True to its mid-century roots, the home offers two versatile dining and living areas, originally envisioned as a formal dining room and cozy breakfast nook, now reimagined as flexible spaces for entertaining, casual meals, or an inviting conversation area. From these flexible living areas, sliding glass walls open onto the expansive patio, an iconic mid-century gesture that blurs the line between indoor living and the natural landscape and highlighting a private, tree-framed backyard. The primary suite features abundant closet space and a sleek, renovated bathroom with double vanities and a step-down shower, while two additional bedrooms and a hall bath provide privacy and comfort. Nestled in the North Druid Hills Lakeside community, residents enjoy the prestige of the Lakeside school district, leafy established streets, and a neighborhood steeped in mid-century heritage. Opportunities to own a true piece of Atlanta’s architectural story, with direct lineage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s legacy, are few and far between. Whether you’re a design devotee, a history collector, or simply someone searching for a home that feels like art, 1791 Breckenridge delivers an experience unlike any other.
