This extraordinary 1920’s traditional, 4-sided brick home sits on one of the most coveted streets in beautiful Historic Druid Hills. Lovingly maintained by the current owners for over 58 years this incredible home features a sunroom, music room, dining room with French doors that flows into spacious den with built-in bookshelves and one of three fireplaces. Upstairs you will find 4 well sized bedrooms each connected by “Jack and Jill” bathrooms. The primary bedroom is located at the back of the house with its own primary bathroom attached. The house has an unfinished cellar/basement good for a workshop area or additional storage. Perhaps the most enchanting aspect of this property is the expansive, lush grounds that envelop it. Sitting on just over 1 acre, this property is truly one of a kind. This is more than a home; it’s an invitation to become a part of Druid Hills History. The possibilities are endless – maintain the sizeable existing footprint or envision the expansion of your dreams with the help of an architect or builder. Opportunities like this are rare, and this is truly a once in a lifetime chance to claim property on one of Druid Hills’ most treasured streets and expansive lots. The location is unbeatable: a short stroll to Emory Village and Emory University, a few minutes to restaurants, parks, the Beltline, Virginia Highlands, Ponce City Market, Decatur and Morningside neighborhoods.
