Constructed in 2023 and perched on a quiet corner lot, 1461 Lively Ridge is a rare opportunity to own a newer build - 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 3,000 sq ft - just minutes from Emory, the new Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and a mere 15 minutes from Midtown and Buckhead, all for under $1 million. Step outside to a newly turfed private backyard offering fantastic space for relaxing and entertaining. Walk through the front door and be welcomed by a large open-concept living space with seamlessly connected dining, kitchen, and living areas, plus two bedrooms on the main level. Vaulted ceilings with beautiful stained cypress beams complement the reclaimed dark oak hardwood floors, giving the home a rich sense of warmth and character. The kitchen features ample countertop space, a center island overlooking the living room, high-end appliances, and a massive window with views of the stunning backyard - and everything is only three years old. French doors separate the living room and kitchen, leading out directly to your private backyard. The main-level primary suite is tucked beside a recently updated laundry room and boasts a fully built-out walk-in closet by California Closets. The en-suite bath features a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The dining area is anchored by a beautifully exposed staircase with modern wainscoting. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each have their own en-suite baths and ample closet space. A fourth bedroom on the main level - with its own en-suite - is perfect as a guest room or home office. All of this, just a short walk to coffee shops, boutique shopping, and popular dining destinations like Mellow Mushroom.
Biltmore Acres, located between North Druid Hills Road and Briarcliff Road, is a residential and wooded North Druid Hills neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and curving, low-traffic streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Druid Hills Rd & Briarcliff Rd crossroads, where a steady stream of local errands and café stops sets the daily rhythm. Architectural lines lean brick-and-wood, with deep setbacks and mature tree cover shaping a quiet streetscape. Fernbank Museum of Natural History and its forested trails add a cultural, outdoorsy counterpoint nearby. The Paideia School’s campus presence and Emory Village’s independent storefronts help define the area’s lived-in, academic-adjacent feel. Sidewalk gaps and rolling topography keep walks scenic rather than strictly gridlike.
