Stately, painted brick Druid Hills home in Atlanta. The rather steep driveway is flanked by solid brick retaining walls in good condition. There is a nice foyer upon entry. Hardwood floors on first and second floor and a brick floor in the basement...
area. Most of the windows are older. Traditional floor plan with high ceilings, nice detail and beautiful fireplace. Garage is detached and yard is private all the way around. Lovely Atlanta home.
