Looking for an extraordinary Druid Hills Classic within 1/4 mile of Emory University? This well maintained beauty has many preserved original features while thoughtfully incorporating today’s comforts at an incredible value for the location. Unlike many homes in the area, this one was well planned with two closets in each bedroom, several bonus/flex spaces, and permanent stairs to a huge attic making storage a breeze. There is a world of possibilities here. Move right in and enjoy an expanded kitchen renovated in 2018, updated baths, a formal dining room, a sun parlor, nursery/office/walk-in closet in the primary, mudroom with laundry sinks, screened in porch and extra large deck with historic elements throughout. Use the fourth bedroom as it is for your den/family room or convert it by incorporating the secret safe room as the original closet into the room. Add a path to the side deck for easy kitchen entry from the parking and fenced back yard. The space is perfect for homeowners seeking a primary on main, or a family looking to grow. Bonus rooms may be used for additional bedrooms, living space, or storage. Alternatively, it’s a great template for those interested in designing their dream second story. Freshly painted exterior in September 2025. This is one of those once in a life-time homes that you won’t want to miss.
