Originally opened in August 1913, The Ponce stands as one of Atlanta’s first true high-rise luxury apartment houses. It was designed by prominent New York architect William Lee Stoddart, who also created the Georgian Terrace across the street. The building features Renaissance Revival design, with Italianate influences visible in its bowed main façade, ornate classical detailing, and its signature rooftop pavilions that define the Midtown skyline. A full unit renovation was completed in 2025, including full kitchen and bathrooms gut, refinished hardwood floors, new picture windows, and a fresh coat of interior paint. The spacious living room is a welcoming retreat with bright, open views and classic architectural charm. The updated, light-filled kitchen features quartz countertops, a carrera tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The owner's suite is a serene haven with a decorative fireplace, a generous sitting area, and a custom closet system, while the luxurious primary bathroom showcases tile walls and frameless glass shower. The second bedroom is cozy yet functional—perfect for guests or a home office—and includes an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The unit also features a convenient in-unit washer and dryer with built-in shelving. There is ample storage and multiple closets in this unit – something unique in a historic unit. Residents enjoy access to a historic rooftop terrace where Atlanta’s high society once gathered, offering sweeping skyline views and outdoor seating that make for unforgettable evenings. The building also features a grand entrance, a beautifully preserved spiral staircase, an elegant lobby, a fitness center, and a community laundry room. A guest suite owned by the HOA is available to reserve for visitors at a modest nightly rate. One dedicated parking space is included with the unit, and additional spaces may be rented for a nominal fee. Storage units are also available for rent. The Ponce’s location is unbeatable—within close reach of the Fox Theatre, Georgia Tech, Piedmont Park, the BeltLine, Midtown and Downtown restaurants, Centennial Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and State Farm Arena.
This is not just a home—it’s a rare opportunity to live within a piece of Atlanta’s enduring architectural and cultural legacy. Schedule your private showing today. HOA fee includes water, trash, and internet.
