Novare Breaks Out… finally

When a good friend of mine asked if I wanted to take a tour of Gallery in Buckhead, I was a bit skeptical. Considering Novare’s products has been pretty much the same for a number of years, I didn’t think Gallery was going to be that different. I might have to eat my words. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this project, granted this isn’t The Mansion. But, for a mid-range priced building, I think they have finally delivered a product that anyone can easily call home. All of the Penthouse units have been sold, but there are still plenty of condos that have choice views for sale. I really loved the public spaces in this building. The library and gallery are contemporary and classic, without being overdone. 

Gallery opened on Peachtree Road in Buckhead in December 2007. The 26-story high-rise of 203 homes is located at the corner of Peachtree and Rumson Roads and is Novare’s third development in the Buckhead neighborhood. Homes at Gallery have distinctive contemporary architecture and rich amenities that include floor-to-ceiling glass, granite countertops, 10-foot ceilings, ultrahigh-speed Internet access, reserved parking, 24-hour concierge and upscale fitness and social centers. But they also boast larger floorplans—an average of 1,700 square feet—and are augmented with such features as traditional foyers, increased storage, fine cabinetry, chef-quality appliances and expanded hardwood and ceramic flooring.

The community amenities include guest suites, which residents can reserve when they want to extend overnight hospitality to friends or family. When they want to visit with their fellow residents or simply relax outside their own homes, residents can choose between a ground-floor clubroom with library setting or a clubroom on the amenity-terrace level, which is designed as a contemporary living-room setting and also features a catering kitchen for entertaining and separate media room.

The amenity terrace features a large swimming pool and Wi-Fi as well as a full-sized tennis court. That’s right, tennis! And how could a residence named Gallery be complete without—an art gallery? Located just off the lobby, where residents and visitors alike can enjoy it, is design space where works from local art establishments Bill Lowe Gallery, Marcia Wood Gallery, Mason-Murer Fine Art, and TEW Galleries will be displayed on a rotating basis. Gallery’s location on the edge of the beautiful Garden Hills neighborhood makes Buckhead itself one of its prime amenities. All that Buckhead has in dining, shopping and entertainment is a short walk away. Prices for homes at Gallery range from the $400,000s to near $1 million, yet it offers homeowners design, amenities and lifestyle found elsewhere in Buckhead at far higher price points.
