Don't miss this architectural gem on one of the three most desired streets in sought-after Druid Hills - A gorgeous 1920 mediterranean influenced home with historic character complemented by a renovated kitchen and primary bath, high ceilings, graciously-sized rooms, 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and inviting gardens for your enjoyment on a half acre lot. In this entertainer's delight that blends beautiful architecture with the comfort and warmth of a well curated home, you'll find a memorable foyer, opening into a graceful fireside living room with a separate but connected spacious dining room; the well-designed flow continues as you enter the high-end appointed kitchen with a breakfast bar and in-kitchen dining. The cozy adjacent study opens into the sun-filled family room; all of the rooms are generously sized and provide a thoughtfully considered floorplan. The upstairs floor includes the primary suite, private bath and walk-in closet, along with three additional bedrooms and second full bath; there is a powder room on the main floor. The terrace level offers a fifth bedroom and third full bath. An unusual advantage of the terrace level is the rear-entry garage which includes immediate access into the house and a workshop. Enjoy an Intown lifestyle while living in the park-inspired neighborhood that is Druid Hills which was designed by the Father of Landscaping, Fredrick Olmsted. Emory Village and the Emory University and CDC campuses are only 3 blocks away; the historic Olsted Linear Parks are on the south end of the street. Ponce City Market and Krog market are nearby with international dining, along with all the amenities of Inman Park, Virginia Highland and Morningside. The Arts District in Midtown is 15 minutes away, plus world class shopping at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza; Hartsfield Intl Airport is within 30 minutes. Come Enjoy the Best of Atlanta!
