"Something a little different" - that's how Leila Ross Wilburn described this exceptional home's Design #136, and 100 years later, it still holds. Set on a third of an acre in Historic Druid Hills, this Craftsman home has been meticulously maintained and restored with a commitment to exceptional artisanship and real livability. Original hardwood floors, crown molding, glass knobs, and two brick fireplaces ground it in 1921 - while a gourmet kitchen, whole-house generator, water filtration system, and updated systems carry it effortlessly into the present. The main level flows with intention. A formal dining room with crystal chandelier opens through original French doors to a gracious living room anchored by an original brick fireplace. Two sunrooms - a rarity at any price - complete the picture: the front, currently a den with heated tile floors and wraparound windows that flood the space with light; a second, a quiet sun-drenched escape to the side of the home. A dedicated office (easy conversion to 5th bedroom) with a second fireplace and custom built-ins makes working from home genuinely pleasant. Throughout, windows are double-paned historically accurate replacements that honor the original proportions while delivering modern performance. The gourmet kitchen truly delivers: oversized island with Thermador range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom wood cabinetry, two ovens, warming drawer, quartz countertops, two filtered-water sinks, and a pocket door to the dining room. The back entrance - conveniently positioned between the garage and fenced parking - includes a drop zone that handles the daily rhythm beautifully. On the main level, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while another full bathroom combines original tile, premium updates, and charming wallpaper- 1921 meets 2026 in the most lovely way. Upstairs, the primary suite surprises with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic arched window, and a barrel-vaulted bath with soaking tub, dual pedestal sinks, and two custom walk-in closets. An additional bedroom - currently a nursery - works equally well as a home office or bedroom. An all-in-one laundry unit is also conveniently located upstairs, in addition to the full laundry on the main level. The basement is clean, dry, and offers ample storage. Outside: flat landscaped yard with playset, full-size pergola, perimeter fence and gate with remote access and keypads, an oversized 2.5-car garage plumbed for a second-floor ADU. Whole-house Generac (2021, warranty through 2027), whole-house water filtration, Trane HVAC with service contract, new roof 2017. A 5-minute walk to Emory Village. Druid Hills HS cluster. Some homes are restored, Some are renovated. This one has been both.

For over 20 years, the owners have restored this home with an emphasis not only on exceptional artisanship but also on remaining timeless. In a neighborhood of historic houses, this home is the quintessential, and rare, example of what architect Leila Ross Wilburn once coined "something a little different". Suited perfectly for the gentle topography, don't be fooled by the home's ingenious, "unassuming" appearance as within you will find over 3,500 sq ft of living space! From the moment of conceptualization, this home was already ahead of its time with a remarkably open, spacious floorplan. Original features include beveled-glass French doors, light-filled sunroom, and extensive millwork. Modern updates have kept the home warm and welcoming today as it was in 1922.The main level Living Room, Dining Room, and enclosed Front Porch are all over-sized, flow seamlessly and make entertaining as easy as opening the front door! The Home Office includes custom cherry shelving and cabinetry. The Kitchen is a chef's dream and features an expansive island that is perfect for socializing with friends and family. Retiring to the upper-level master suite makes the end of every day extra special - featuring a seating area, built in barrister bookcases, underfloor heating in the Master Bath and a local artist's stained-glass window. Outside find a separate over-sized 2 car garage and a gorgeously landscaped oasis. Centrally located, your new home is a short walk to Emory Village or a short drive to your favorite spots in Decatur, Vi-Hi, Midtown, and Buckhead. Some homes opt for a "historical refresh" and others for a "modern renovation"; this home has both - an appreciation of the past but additions and renovations that make it comfortable in the present.
