History
One of Atlanta’s most famous architects, Philip Trammell
Shutze, is credited with the design of The Villa. Shutze’s
other works in Atlanta include the Swan House, Calhoun House,
Citizens and Southern National Bank, Rhodes House, and East
Lake Country Club.
The Villa was built around 1920 next to the Ansley Golf Club.
It was called The Italian Villa Apartments until World War
II, when it was renamed simply The Villa. The Villa was converted
to a condominium in 1979.
The Property
The Villa was built on an acre of land north of downtown Atlanta
in the Ansley Park neighborhood, which is between Midtown
and Buckhead. The Villa is almost entirely surrounded by
the golf course and buildings of the Ansley Golf Club.
The Villa is a U-shaped building with 25 units, ranging
from a studio to a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit. The units on the
main and top floors have 10-foot ceilings, while the units
on the ground level have 8-foot ceilings. |
